Gay Marriage Debate

Reading Bo Vastine’s response to Cory Storch’s blog today shows that he clearly stays within his Republican circles of friends when discussing the issue of gay marriage.

I have lobbied, spoken out, and even been quoted in the newspaper as to my position on gay marriage. Since Bo feels that this group of people are sick because of how they choose to live, then he does not have a clue to as who supports them, and who does not. In both my inner circles as well as publically I have supported gay marriage. I did not begin my support of this issue during this past election.

Last year when Garden State Equality, a gay rights group, had a huge event in our State, I was invited and recognized by the organization as one of their key supporters. I have gone around the State in support of their efforts. Unfortunately, Bo Vastine does not have a clue as to this issue of the State level.

Let us stop playing games with this issue: either you support it or you do not. It is obvious from Bo Vastine’s remarks is that he does NOT support gay marriage. He needs to send that sort of definitive answer as opposed to playing minds games. Bo Vastine is the same person who ran for a seat in the Assembly and was too embarrassed to wave his Republican flag.

I was taught that if you do not have anything nice to say, you keep it to yourself. Therefore, Bo, if you are not support this initiative, be quiet. I say this because upon reading and hearing Bo Vastine’s remarks against gay marriage, it is unnerving because you can feel the hate and disdain he has for gay marriage.
