    Well, I'm sure this will help secure Obama's re-election......

    Interesting move, considering gay marriage isn't exactly a real popular idea, but I guess all dem's & liberals who don't support gay marriage will just need to evolve or hold their tongue.

    I have one word for the democrat party...Thanks

    so this is what is left for the Democrats; to pander to 1.7% of the population who have sex differently from everyone else

    Consummation or consummation of a marriage, in many traditions and statutes of civil or religious law, is the first (or first officially credited) act of sexual intercourse between two people, either following their marriage to each other or after a prolonged sexual attraction. Its legal significance arises from theories of marriage as having the purpose of producing legally recognized descendants of the partners, or of providing sanction to their sexual acts together, or both, and amounts to treating a marriage ceremony as falling short of completing the creation of the state of being married. Thus in some Western traditions, a marriage is not considered a binding contract until and unless it has been consummated.

    it might be grounds if one party wants an annulment, but it isnt as if the state demands evidence otherwise the marriage is void

    so its not required

    What a wonderful example of how petty and selfish conservatives are.

    It would never occur to them that the DNC would adopt a pro gay civil rights stance just because IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

    No it must be pandering for votes. Which makes plenty of sense considering by your own claims the amount of votes he would receive is insignificant at best. Keep it up guys you're making this really easy on us.

    They would support funding fantasy fest in Key West if they thought it would garner votes. A sick bunch these clowns.

    No, it isn't the right thing to do and two guys choosing to butt (*)(*)(*)(*) each other hardly deserves the same respect as an entire race of people.

    Not to be legal it doesn't.

    The issue only comes into play if someone wants an anullment, or alleges allienation of affection in a divorce case.

    It only matters on the way out.

    Gotta luv how the Democrat platform is shaping up:

    1) Marriage consumation by anal intercourse.

    2) Expand the food stamp rolls.

    3) Expand illegal immigration.

    4) Ban soda pop.

    5) End workfare.

    How can they lose !!!!!! ;)

    Any Democrat that has the gall to still believe in the 2000 year tradition of Marriage.....

    .........best prepare for the Chic-Fila treatment.

    There is no such thing as Independent thought in the Democrat Party......its their way or the Chic-Fila way......

    Putting it on their platform will alienate a lot of black voters. Well thought out Axelrod!

    Are you suggesting then, that they are loveless marriages set up to scam the system for a political agenda?
