Does the Salamander Society have anything to match this?

speaking of ___less, I hear some photos of Ms. California are coming out. Of course Perez Hilton would not care. She is likely going to lose her crown but it will be a huge career boost.

"Does the Salamander Society have anything to match this?"

Of course they do - Google photos of the first vision.

Could Obama really be described as an opponent of gay marriage?

Yes. He squarely is. He has never recanted his statements made at the Rick Warren thing.

He also was an opponent of Prop 8.

I found this...

White House Web site wrote: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.

Looks like he wants to preserve the word and the religious ritual for hetero couples. I think this would be a compromise acceptable to most sides?

Personally, I think the religious ritual and the civil contract should be separated. That is hetero couples would not have a registry office 'wedding' but rather a civil union. Leave the hocus pocus (sanction to have sex and start breeding) stuff for each religion to administer as they see fit.

That way FLDS and others can marry in any combination they want, but a person can only contract one civil union (with spousal rights, insurance, and material issues entailed) at a time.

We have civil unions here which are chosen by many hetero couples as well, there is only difference with marriage - they cannot jointly adopt a child - so our civil unions are not quite equal.

I agree with Juliann for once. Down with aged, out of shape topless politicians! UP with young, hot stripped down politicians:

Not being able to view MAD, I remain as confused as a baby in a topless bar.

Publicly, he says he does oppose gay marriage, but I believe that is for political expediency. I don't think privately he has any problem with gay marriage.

Confused?

Wouldn't the feeling be more like when you approach a large buffet? Woo hoo!
