Christian Democrats in the United States

Domestic Issues - Equal Rights

We support equal protection under law for all people in America. The individual right to human dignity cannot be surrendered by groups. While we leave the definition of the word "marriage" up to the states, we recognize civil unions and the right to a civil life for all people. We applaud the military for its progress on racial integration in America and support affirmative action to enable Americans of every culture and color to advance themselves and society.

As our substantive due process is the only thing that separates the U.S. from tyrannical states, we insist on due process for all suspects accused by the U.S. of any crime. We are opposed to secret renditions, secret courts and torture of any kind, even of enemy combatants. We believe in our community values, and our leaders should allow those values to do their work in the world.

case in point

The Pope's recent comments about needing to reinforce gender roles to ensure the survival of the human race are very naïve. Whether gay people are out or not, it's not going to stop me from wanting to have a baby with a woman, the good old fashioned way.

His comments come during a time when we have regular incidents like this:

...a gang rape of a lesbian woman by four heterosexual men. Were they reinforcing gender roles to the satisfaction of the Pope?
