You are an individual with an opinion. Don't use labels...they are the tools of the weak and ignorant.

Perhaps that is what one might accurately call a moderate,someone who looks at each individual issue as just that,an individual issue. Those who are comfortable telling thousands of Americans that they have no rights just because their party says so deserve all the derision that can be sent their way. Ditto for those who think it's okay to rip babies into little pieces to make some womans life more convenient. But most just go with their party's platform like sheep,which is why I follow neither party. But I guess some need to be led like cattle,even on issues where it seems the answer should be self evident.

I too am for same sex marriage, but I am pro-life. I am not militant about either of these causes. I guess I am a moderate of some sort.
But we have to remember that these are two very different issues. Same sex marriage is problematic to people strictly from a religious point of view. It is felt that homosexiuality is codemned by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scriptures.
But abortion is viewed by many, many people as the taking of a life, whether it is codemned by scripture or not. Indeed it is taking a life, no matter how you look at it.

This is not enough criteria to choose a party. Do you have any other positions, politically?
Why are you against abortion? Why are you for gay marriage? Have you read the US Constitution to formulate a position?
I ask myself these kinds of questions.

The 2004 Republican platform expressed help for the Federal Marriage replace to america shape to define marriage as solely between ONE guy and ONE woman A majority of the GOP's nationwide and state applicants are professional-existence and oppose abortion on religious or ethical grounds, and want faith-based initiatives. There are some exceptions, nonetheless, rather interior the Northeast and Pacific Coast states. they're in many circumstances against affirmative action for females and minorities in many circumstances describing it as a quota device, believing that it is not meritocratic and that's counter-efficient socially with the help of in basic terms further advertising discrimination.[21][21][22] most of the GOP's club favors capital punishment and stricter punishments as a ability to dodge crime. Republicans in rural factors in many circumstances help gun possession rights and oppose regulations regulating weapons, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that Republicans in city factors specifically situations want constrained regulations via actuality they're mandatory to guard protection in great cities.

Any reasonable person would not support gay marriage. How about a civil union? In order to support gay marriage you are asking people that are not beholden to the government in their beliefs to change them. If a belief system sees no problem in doing that...God bless them.
I am against abortion, but in favor of civil unions. I am a Catholic. I don't want the church I belong to to perform marriages between people of the same sex, although I have no problem with the government recognizing a civil union and all the rights that go with it.

You can't really decide a political philosophy on two issues. Also, it probably depends on WHY you take those positions. Are these just random ideas, or do you have philosophical reasons for these beliefs? I mean, if you just randomly pick positions, without any good reason, that doesn't make you anything except a person with unique ideas.

call it a gay union, and you are in agreement with me. A conservative independent, who almost always votes republican.
look up the definition of marriage (before the PC police added a new entry), and you will see it is a union between a man and a woman. So to call it a "gay marriage" is an oxymoron.
Contradictory to the liberal propaganda you hear, there is no republican hatred for gay people.

American...
I'm Republican and could care less who anyone marries.
I do not support abortion as a means of birth control.
So I guess we are in the same boat...

A centrist or even a Liberal.
I am opposed to abortion too (But respect established law), at the same time, I am a very left wing person.
