You don't have to agree with his statements, but you have to agree that standing up for your convictions, even if it might cost you politically, and even if you know others are going to hate you for it, is BOLD.

I almost went political, too! Good choice for bold, Lenster. And, yes, that is a bold stance to take. It makes me scratch my head, though. Did he have a hard time deciding? Or was it because Romney opposes gay marriage? Why on earth did he wait this long to make a stand? It confuses me a little, I must say.
Because this week, NC passed a ballot intiative to ban gay marriage. And because it's been a bit of a firestorm in the news lately. And I personally think he's always held this position, but held out politically. I'm sure in part, he did it to engage his youth vote. And in part because he's a good person who recognizes that a segment of our population is under attack and they feel defeated and unworthy when states pass overwhelming votes to deny them their rights. So I suspect it was both political and good leadership, and...bold.
Wasn't nothing, what I deleted. Just accidentally posted twice. :)
But I suppose it could be in part playing off Romney's stance. That's what an election year will do -- compare and contrast policies and ideals...
I'm sure it is a combo of all of those things. It's a hard stand to take, because you *know* it's so controversial. Either way, whether you are for or against it- you are going to stir up really strong feelings about the issue. I get that. It's exactly why I avoid all discussions on the subject. I don't want to go there.
