How you compare
Ralph Nader shares a 100% similarity with your beliefs on Gay Rights
I strongly support gay marriage
The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights group, has urged voters to back Gore. The HRC’s director asserts that votes for Nader could tip the election to Bush, saying, “If Nader’s candidacy causes Bush to win, his conservative Supreme Court appointees could put the prospect of gay and lesbian equality in jeopardy.” The organization made the appeal even though Nader supports legalizing marriage for gays and lesbians while Gore and Bush do not.

Nader has not only come out for same-sex marriage--a basic civil right--but he is for ending legal discrimination against gays and lesbians that allows employers to fire someone for their sexual orientation in 36 states.
I support civil unions
Q: "Are you in favor of civil unions for gay couples and should a foreign spouse be given a green card to join his gay partner in the US?" A: "My view on this is equal rights, equal responsibilities for gay and lesbian people. That would cover all issues."

Emailed response from the Nader campaign's communications director on Oct. 18, 2008: Ralph Nader supports civil unions.
Q: Does the state have a right to say that only heterosexuals can be married? A: "I think homosexuals have the right of civil union. There are economic reasons for that and there are humanitarian reasons for that, and I think the Vermont decision is a good one, and I think homosexuals should be given equal rights and equal responsibilities."
