Was raised as a hard-line democrat. Had a personal relationship with someone who was gay and in the miltary (didn't know it at the time obviously). I left the party and have never looked back. I am 100% against gay marriage and all other gay rights issues other than a civil union. I do not care about gun issues. It's a non-issue for me. The left thinks guns kill people but it's the crazy psycho young males that do. But that is conpletely ignored. I am just tired of it all.
