Being the most gay-friendly country in the middle east isn't really a huge accomplishment.

Honestly it is one of the most gay friendly countries on the face of this planet.

Uhm partialy yes. The secular society of Israel is very friendly towards gay people. But there are also ultra orthodox jews, and muslims who aren't that friendly towards gay people.

That is true, but Israel is quite a gay friendly country.

Oh? Other countries don't kill gays? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qxjocm5fCc

This anti-gay behavior is disgusting


Read my post again please, I was giving examples of other countries where homosexuality in the middle east isn't illegal. I was saying two countries where it wasn't illegal,

and apparently you read: "Gay people don't get killed in the middle east"

Apparently, you read on mine: "Only Israel is gay friendly" WHICH I didn't say. I did read what you said.

Nope, I read: "Oh? Other countries don't kill gays?" Which implied I was suggesting that I don't think gay people are killed in the middle east, if not I don't know why you quoted my post.

Haha, at least we're on the same page when it comes to gay rights. Okay, that was really a pointless argument, and I'm sorry for misinterpreting.

There are also ultra religious Christians in North America who aren't that friendly towards gay people. And to be frank, the ultra orthodox Jews in Israel aren't friendly to the majority of people because it's such an insular society.

These aren't excuses, but my point is this isn't a unique case of religious people not getting along with x group.

I wonder if this will mean he'll never get reelected again.

He might, "Doing it out of fatherly love" could mitigate many problems he will have with voters, it also helps that he is from a swing state.

This is true, if he was from a dark red state it would have been very hard for him to get reellected.

See I think that would make a great "What if" exercise, take for example Dick Chaney who would probably win any dark red state, has supported Gay Marriage since before the 2000 election, and came out in support of it in 2004, and has been vocal in his support of it since leaving the White House in 2008. Would his stance in Gay Marriage hurt his votes, or would his "No Nonsense" attitude, and his work against Terrorism overcome any problems with the voters. Again a great "What if" exercise.

Someone has to win..
Hope he enjoys being on the wrong side of history :p

I'm actually quite surprised about how "stiff" boehner is on homosexuality. After all, his last name (when sounded out), sounds a heck of a lot like "boh-ner".
