Let's all pray away the "pray away the gay" people like Marcus and Michele Bachmann. Now that's an amendment I would support and vote for.

Kluwe has indeed been outspoken, but I wish he would realize that the bad language, although it will rile up those already opposed to the amendment, is not helping his/the case, it only gives ammunition to the opposition. Use your voice and position in a positive way and you will be taken more seriously - as it is now, he looks to be a representative of the opposition, and he makes us all look like ranting, foul-mouthed, hot heads. Logical and rational arguments are more likely to persuade than bad language and an aggressive attitude.

Susan, Kluwe did use his voice. He may have included some rough language, but that's a choice he made. His comments were well-measured and poignant. I got his message loud & clear and i don't consider anything he's written on the topic to be "aggressive". Confrontational, maybe, but certainly not aggressive or hot-headed. You seem to have let 2 words (out of hundreds that he's written on the topic) distract you from his true message. That's a failing on your part, not his.

You can see Kluwe's less profane, but still brilliant response to former Viking center Matt Birk's support of the amendment here:

he did not engage on a discussion of the marriage amendment, he avoided the whole discussion Kluwe wanted to have. Instead he tried to bring up the Vikings because he knew he was in over his head and has not rebuttals to the facts of the matter. Bad journalism

I don't think Kluwe should adjust his "voice" one bit. He's out there on this issue and doing a great job getting publicity for the supporters of marriage equality. His methods may differ from others, but that's what makes what he's doing so effective. He's not being ignored, and his writing is eloquent and interesting. It's important that he not blend in with everyone else.

Best. Punter. Ever!

BobK-

the article stated:
"Andy Parrish decided to take the "Chris Kluwe Challenge" and engage the Minnesota Vikings' punter on a virtual discussion about the so-called Gay Marriage amdenment issue."

My point is that he did not engage in a discussion about the topic at had, he spun it into talking about the Vikings. It was flight or fight, he chose flight to which the article only paints the picture as he actually debated the topic which he did not. Kluwe wants him to, but he does not want to debate his side for some odd reason.

First, unless there's a national ban on gay marriage (there will never be) Michelle Bachmann can't do anything for or against it... she's all talk on this.

Lastly, I'm watching the Vikings game and Chris Kluwe's crappy 20 yard punts... he needs to put down the phone and start practicing.

As far as allowing gay people to marry... why not? If they want to be miserable like the rest of us, have at it lol.
