First of all I would just like to say that I am definitely not "live-blogging" the VP debate. I'm far too busy playing Palin Bingo.
We're about 45 minutes into the debate and the candidates agree on one thing: they're both against gay marriage. (This should come as no surprise to anyone who's followed their positions, but it's never fun to hear it.) Biden's position at least appears to be colored by the idea that "marriage" is intrinsically religious, as he suggests that it's the religious groups who need to make that specific decision.
Biden also explicitly states that Obama's White House will protect the full equal civil rights of homosexual couples. He lists two or three -- hospital visitation, property rights -- and notably leaves out parents' rights. Palin, in her response, doesn't seem to understand that rights like hospital visitation aren't currently easily available to unmarried couples.
Those of you who agree with me that the government should keep religion out of its policies might be interested in Bill Maher's movie Religulous, which comes out tomorrow and might be terrible, or maybe not.
Oh, Biden just called McCain out for saying he wouldn't talk to Spain. And I'm totally not liveblogging.
those spaniards are up to something. with their chorizo and whatnot.
So, Andrew, would you care to expound upon your own, personal, views of sexuality?
