I ventured into that thread as well. All I talk about is politics, I'm surprised I don't all the time in here. It's my passion, it's what I do. I currently work a campaign for a GAY man running to be the FIRST openly elected GLBTQ member to the Florida State House.
I also believe in equality for all. It's going to be a rude awakening for those people in a few years when the Supreme Court decides that states cannot deny same sex couples marriage licenses!
I don't get into politics much, because there are so many opinions, and then there are numbers involved.. once a topic goes into politics, my brain goes to sleep. It's just me.. I am crazy, I guess

But GOOD on the gay man running for whatever he is running for.
My husband and I don't even see eye to eye on gayness.. I won't even go back into the subject with him, because he sees it as a sin and a choice, blah blah blah.. I guess since we have to live under the same roof, we have to agree to disagree.
The "OUTSIDE" thread always has something political in there about Obama and what good or bad he's doing.. those are the conversations I shy away from. I don't know enough either way to interject.. but allowing a person to be as equal as the next.. that is something I will speak up on...
On a side note.. I am out of creamer.

and only had one cup of coffee this morning, already had to redo some responses..

so if I am rambling and not making much sense, or talking in circles, I blame the coffee today!
