Gingrich and Gay Men: Do Not Mix

Gingrich has been dissuading the gay public with his campaigning. Recently this week, Gingrich told a homosexual college professor to vote for his competition, Barack Obama, without even trying to convince the professor to agree with his other issues. He stated that "If [homosexuality] is the most important issue to you, then you should be for Obama." And yet, Gingrich is most definitely against legalization of gay marriage, and signed a pledge defining marriage between a man and a woman.
Why do Americans make such a fuss about religion within our politics? Aren't our church and state separated? It is true that America is the most developed country with the highest percentage of religious citizens, but that has no place within our government. We should be focusing on issues such as our economy. Gingrich may have the right idea in his one clipped quote, but his actions speak otherwise. His religious views are getting in the way of politics.
Gingrich will not get voter support with these ridiculous rouses. If he really did care more about job creation and national security, he would not be wasting his time signing pledges with the National Organization for Marriage. He should leave issues like those up to the states, not his political campaign.
The only issue with the article is that it doesn't state other activities he's been doing recently to progress the economy, job creation, and other national issues. Instead, it only focuses on the social.
