GREGORY: Have your views evolved?Joe is probably right about the influence of the TV show Will & Grace. Well, well. Meet the Press is good for something besides giving cash and air time to tired, aging pundits with views left over from the 20th century.
BIDEN: The good news is that as more and more Americans come to understand what this is all about is a simple proposition. Who do you love? Who do you love and will you be loyal to the person you love? And that’s what people are finding out what all marriages at their root are about. Whether they are marriages of lesbians or gay men or heterosexuals. [...]
GREGORY: You’re comfortable with same-sex marriage now?
BIDEN: Look, I am Vice President of the United States of America. The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men marrying women are entitled to the same exact rights. All the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly I don’t see much of a distinction beyond that. [...] I think Will & Grace probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody has done so far. People fear that is different and now they’re beginning to understand.
Watch him.

How long to you think it will take until he hears from the bishops?
ReplyDeleteBex, I expect not long. Joe's words today will fire up RC bishops to campaign harder against Obama. They say their campaign is about 'religious freedom', but that's nothing but a load of BS. They're anti-Obama.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure Joe's already on their sh*t-list, for being pro-choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Now get your boss to "Evolve Already!" >;-/
The bishops have already put Joe the doghouse. He's been named.
