HOMOS
I guess I don't expect them to support gay marriage or anything gay for that matter. But we don't expect to get bashed either. By making a point of the FMA in his SOTU message, Bush indirectly signals his opposition to the famed 'gay agenda'. Also, not mentioning AIDS funding (although there will be some) and declaring an abstinence policy toward STD prevention he reinforces the point. Demagogic. Pandering. .
It is odd, that marriage needs to be defended with a huge counseling program; it being a fundamental pillar of society. But we do not want to encourage queers to do it.
It must be pretty hurtful to be Cheney's openly lesbian daughter and have your Dad do the same FMA thing in a pre-SOTU speech.
It is not the FMA of course. Marriage is not even a Federal matter. It is the same as the racism behind a lot of the quota and equal opportunity discussion (a legitimate topic of debate incidentally). You can't come right out and yell nigger or faggot. Gotta use the smirk, the nudge, and the wide eyed stare of feigned innocence.
