It's all part of the Rove plan. Make a huge issue out of nothing. Get Fox to parade the homos, then MSNBC will follow suit. Then try to paint Kerry as some sort of homo lover. In reality Kerry is simply responding to the reality of gay and lesbian folks. Bush on the other hand wants to hide his head in the sand and pretend that homos don't exist. When a gay partnership has one worker and one homemaker, and the breadwinner dies, the contributions to SS are not transferable to the partner, and the partner after supporting the breadwinner gets none of the benefits that were accrued by the breadwinner.
