Color me confused. What is George Bush about these days? I thought he didn't like gay people. Isn't he of the party of Rick Santorum that compared homosexuality to bestiality, pedophilia, and rape?
So even though Bush does not believe in marriage for same sex-couples or civil unions and believes that the notion of same sex marriage should be constitutionally banned. He does believe that Mary Cheney and her (female) partner will make great parents? Yeah it confuses me too!
I do think Mary Cheney, her right-wing tendencies aside, will be a good parent. But Bush's logic is puzzling. And it is just this sort of faulty logic that has Bush's approval ratings below freezing. You can raise kids but cannot get married. You should invade a country that has no weapons of mass destruction.
As a Republican you know you are doing something wrong, when Bob Barr decides to leave your party. (Of course, there is always the off chance that he got evicted based on his "performance" in Borat.)

I'm struggling with the idea that same sex couple can raise (adopt) children but not get married. Putting marriage aside (I'm not against civil marriage of same sex people), is it fair to the children if allowing the couple to adopt them? I understand it is their right to raise children, but who is protecting children's right not to be adopted by same sex parents? Bush's position really confuses me.
As long as the same sex couple is loving and nurturing of their child, then it is fair to the child. I don't see the problem with same sex couples adopting children. Why is it unfair to them? It is only unfair if the couple is negligent and abusive which has nothing to do with the fact that they are a same-sex couple. There are plenty of negligent and abusive heterosexual couples, where those children would be much better off with nurturing and loving same-sex parents.
