If I Were Gay, I Would Not Vote For Bush

There are many reasons why gays shouldn't vote for President George W. Bush. To begin with, the Bush's administration repeatedly uses gay rights as a political tool to divide the nation What a shameful thing to do!

President Bush stated that he called upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife only. He said he wants to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever; therefore, he must enact a constitutional amendment to protect the “sanctity of marriage” between men and women in America.

In addition, President Bush took a hard line against gay adoption during the 2000 campaign and has maintained it.

To make things worse, according to The Advocate, “George W. Bush has privately told friends that his fondest hope is to find a way to ban adoptions by gays.”

Senator John Kerry, on the other hand, believes that every American should have the opportunity to succeed and to live the American dream. Discrimination has no place in a nation founded on the principles of freedom.

Kerry will use the power of the White House to support equal rights for all Americans, including gay Americans. Kerry said that there is no need for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. He will find a way to provide all American families with full and equal rights.

One of Kerry’s first acts as a U.S. Senator was to introduce a bill prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. He supports passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and has adopted a nondiscrimination policy for his Congressional offices based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Kerry believes that same-sex couples should be granted rights, including access to pensions, health insurance, family medical leave, bereavement leave, hospital visitation, survivor benefits, and other basic legal protections that all families and children need.

So, now you know who you will vote for. Not Bush.
