They (the national party) needs to flesh out some of their stances a bit more, but the party at large supports complete separation of church and state
Homosexual Marriage/Adoption (from the VAWhigs site, http://www.vawhigs.org) Gay Marriage - we are in favor of establishing gay marriage. Furthermore, some of us feel that the government should not be in the business of deciding marriage. Government should support the establishment of legal contracts, between consenting adults, that allow them to share financial aspects of their lives. Marriage is best left to private organizations. Adoptions by gay parents - Any loving people who want to adopt a child should be able to do so. -----Original Message----- From: morgan l [mailto:greyk...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 5:04 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: deficits as far as the eye can see They lost me after I checked 2 issues: 1) They're wishy-washy about separation of Church and State 2) They want to leave homosexual rights up to the masses to decide. Sorry folks, "all men are created equal" does not mean all men that are like you. And no, you don't get to choose who gets what rights just because you can muster a simple majority vote in your state to pass a law/amendment that takes away the rights of a minority group you don't like. Civil rights are not a State's rights issue. After reading the rest, it looks more like a back-to-the-basics conservative platform to me, with a milder-than-normal legislative morality hidden in there. Nothing wrong with that, mind you, if that's what you like. But to call it something else isn't exactly forthcoming. It is politics, though.
