Elizabeth Warren has absolutely savage response to question at CNN LGBTQ+ Town Hall
- Thread starter TheAbsolution
- Start date
Christians need to seriously get over themselves. It's pretty twisted trying to compel the rest of society to follow their faith. Just mind your business and enjoy your Heaven when you die.
Anybody that is offended by this was never gonna vote for her in the first place. She's an evil socialist.
When grown folks are talking, the silly children can go fuck off.
Is that dismissive? The very implication that any person has the right to tell other people who they should marry is ludicrous, and this answer points this out beautifully. Sure, the quip in the end might not have been "smart", but honestly, I assume the people who are against gay marriage are probably the same people who wouldn't ever vote Democratic, so it's likely a good idea to chose to engage and energize your target demographic, instead of worrying about people who are irrelevant for her chances in getting elected
That's a perfect response.
If your faith is against a same sex marriage, don't marry a same sex person. It's simple as that. Everyone else doesn't have to follow your old-fashioned codes from millennia ago, eventhough religious people like to dictate what others can do with their lives. Funnily enough, divorce is rarily an issue for them, despite of what their "holy" book says, "What therefore god has joined together, let not man separate."

That was... Fine? I guess?
Y'all gave me some really high expectations with your responses.
She's better than Hillary, at least.

You'd tell her to "tone it down" over that?
This is the kinda low key sexism I expect if she makes it to the GE. Biden can be boisterous and talk tough and it be a sign of strength. Warren makes a minor quip and needs to "tone it down" to protect the fragile egos of insecure men.
Not saying you are sexist because I don't get that impression. Speaking more in general of the "concern" in this thread over her remark. I thought it was pretty on point.
Yeah. The same people who will tell you they were offended byte quip are also the ones cheering when Trump calls for beating up a protester.aka Fox News.
I'm curious how Trump answers this question, but I guess he just says "I've got nothing against the gays, but you also have to respect people's religion. Very important things some say. Some say the most important" and the press applauds him for loving both sides.
Offended, sure. I think many don't care about these issues but won't like the smug liberal attitude. The "gotcha" comments usually play well with the core demographic - which, let's be honest, resetera is - but not with the rest.
I'm being pessimistic - maybe for bad reasons, I'm not american. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that'll play against her after the primary. Unless the US have become more LGBT-tolerant and feminist than I'd expect, not that my country is a model on these issues.
Very true. Religious freedom is just a guise for religious oppression. They can limit their options in life as much as they want to, but they have absolutely no right to force their ways on others. I hope one beautiful day we can be completely free from the fascism of religion.
I mean, part of the warm up for these candidates when they do debates and town halls is to have questions that are most likely to come up from the audience and people running it, and then coming up with an acceptable answer/response. So it was most likely rehearsed when they "knew" the question was going to come up since it was a LGBTQ+ crowd. Still great though.
bruh
it's becoming increasingly clear that she will be well prepared for most shit Trump will attempt to fling at her in the debates.

My god general election debates between those two fossils would be absolutely pathetic
It's the perfect answer to such a question. How one person feels about marriage due to their believes shouldn't be a reason for the rest of society to bar rights from some other group. Two guys or two gals wedding has absolutely no effect on anyone but them.
Anyone that says she is being dismissive or should tone it down hasn't been paying attention to the orange shit whistle in the white house.
Something like this.
Question: What would you say to someone who says they believe marriage is between one man and one woman
Warren: I'm going to assume its a man whose asking , and I'd tell him, then marry one woman.......... Assuming he can find one.
I mock my own Evangelical family members about their BS 'values'. It's good for them, they need to hear it.
