※ 引述《falstaff (no day but today)》之銘言：
: 心得
: 在現在這麼講人權的時代
: 最好不要有政治不正確的答案 像是同性戀是受詛咒之類的
: 而且 我也不覺得同性戀是受詛咒的
: 就算保守派的天主教 也說要尊重同性戀的人權
: 可是天主教不覺得同性婚姻是權力的一部分
: 那自由派的天主教 對同性戀就同意更多了
昨天剛好有美國民主黨總統候選人關於同性戀的辯論 就順手翻譯一下了
最有可能的三個候選人 都反對同性婚姻
Dem Candidates Weigh in on Gay Issues
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Democrats-Gay-Rights.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
The candidates underscored differences with Republicans on gay and lesbian
rights, but leading candidates also faced aggressive questioning on their
reluctance to embrace marriage for same-sex couples.
民主黨的候選人都強調 在同性戀的權力方面 他們跟共和黨不同
可是領先的候選人還是被問到同性婚姻的問題
All of the Democratic candidates support a federal ban on anti-gay job
discrimination, want to repeal the ''don't ask, don't tell'' policy barring
gays from serving openly in the military and support civil unions that would
extend marriage-like rights to same-sex couples.
所有的候選人都支持取消反同性戀的工作歧視
A majority of Americans oppose nationwide recognition of same-sex marriage
and only two of the Democrats support it -- former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel
and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, both longshots for the nomination.
只有兩個候選人支持同性婚姻
Barack Obama belongs to the United Church of Christ, which supports gay
marriage, but Obama has yet to go that far.
歐巴馬的United Church of Christ支持同性婚姻 不過歐巴馬不贊成
(United Church of Christ 算是主流基督教派 在美國比浸信會的人數少一些)
''If we have a situation in which civil unions are fully enforced, are widely
recognized, people have civil rights under the law, then my sense is that's
enormous progress,'' the Illinois senator said.
Clinton said she made a mistake in March when she steered around a question
on whether homosexuality was immoral. She was asked about it after Gen. Peter
Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he considered homosexual
acts immoral and similar to adultery. He later said he should have not
expressed his personal views. Clinton later issued a statement saying she did
not think being gay was immoral.
''It was a mistake,'' Clinton said. ''I should have put it in a broader
context.''
希拉蕊說 她不覺得同性戀是不道德的
Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese, who was on a panel posing
questions to the candidates, said in a statement, the forum ''was an
important night in the fight for equality.''
Solmonese說 這對平權的努力是很重要的夜晚
''Unfortunately, we have more work to do,'' Solmonese said. ''The
overwhelming majority of the candidates do not support marriage equality.
While we heard very strong commitments to civil unions and equality in
federal rights and benefits, their reasons for opposing equality in civil
marriage tonight became even less clear.''
