What is interesting about this article is that:
1. She is a Democrat
2. She is a Lesbian.
I thought only right-wing, bigoted, Christo-fascist homophobes opposed same sex "marriage".
What's even more interesting about this article is that you obviously didn't fucking read it.
Quote:It is not that Jordan is paradoxically against same-sex marriage, but rather that she doubts the law’s strength. “When you look at a measure, you have to consider, how do we make this the golden standard, as bulletproof as possible?” Jordan told Honolulu magazine.
Though she does not publicly adhere to a particular faith, Jordan took issue with the narrowness of the religious exemptions.
“I’m not here to protect the big churches or the little churches, I’m saying we can’t erode what’s currently out there. We don’t want to scratch at the religious protections at all, because if we don’t create a measure that’s bulletproof, or as close to bulletproof as possible, then the measure will go to the courts. And they will interpret it however that may be. A judge will make assumptions and make a ruling, and that will become the law of the land. So you really want us to create the legislation.”
She wants to make sure assholes like you have as little ground to stand on as possible when you inevitably fight the inevitable.
