Which is why I have such problems with the Right. Well hopefully you find a few of us to be nice and huggable :)
This is bothering me, too. I just quit the GOP, and this is a big part of it. I'm glad John McCain opposed it.
As I see it, in the 90s homosexuals have wanted to be active in their faith, to adopt, to serve in the military, to be a part of the Boy Scouts, and to marry and serve in monogamous relationships (I support gay marraige, but I'm still pretty reactionary about divorce): sounds like potential Republicans to me. From my perspective, the GOP could have doubled its homosexual membership (and Bush receievd a quarter of the gay vote in 2000). If the GOP had Dick Morris insetad of Karl Rove, they wouldn't be shooting themselves in the foot like this.
Strategy aside, the FMA was unjust and an infringement on the 10th Ammendment. I'm glad it fell and I wish it fell by more.
