Secular Republican. Nuff said.

Political "third parties" should not be taken for granted.

Gender is not a social construct.

people need to be able to pee and poo in peace, no matter who they are.

IQ is hereditary and some children perform better than others at school due to superior genetics.

I am against gay marriage but not against homosexuality when private and unspoken of and basically out of my face in a nutshell. The reason I don't agree with gay marriage is because of its effect on religion, I don't make the rules but all of the text in these religions say homosexuality is a sin. I don't take that to mean its more or less of a sin then anything else and as such I believe that gay people should be treated with love and respect but I feel it would be a greater crime to say that lifestyle is perfectly socially accepted. Marriage is a religious act, why should homosexuals care if they are married. Isn't being a couple enough? What does having a official status grant you if the religion that you are basing the marriage on says its not a legit status anyway? If I was gay, I would be happy with just being in a relationship with someone. In fact why even come out of the closet at all? I think sexuality is best keep private and I don't really care whats going on in peoples bedroom to be frank. I don't walk up to people and announce my sexuality which is technically bisexual, or falls between bisexual and just flat out asexual, so you can't saying I am being hateful here. Also I have heard the argument that gay people lose benefits for their partners if they are not married. I have a solution to that too, create another legally binding union between gay partners but don't call it marriage.

(sigh)

I bet I am going to stir the pot with this one but you can actually have it both ways, you can protect religious views and still have a very free and open society. We just need to not complicate things and leave each group alone, its when we mix cultures that we divide which is actually a really deep topic because that goes back to the way the United States was originally set up before the civil war. See we would not be so divided if everybody lived with the laws that they wanted in small communities. Now we have cluster f that is the federal government shoving its law down every bodies throat and its not a one size fits all for a united people to remain united.

do away with electoral college, institute direct democracy digitally.

convert all bathrooms to unisex individual locking stalls.

I think it was our wonderful American curmudgeon h.l. Mencken who said "marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to be in an institution?"
