Meghan McCain asks New York Republicans to Support Marriage Equality

In an Open letter to New York Republicans published today in the New York Daily News, our favorite Republican, Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, said the New York GOP should embrace gay marriage…. And said supporting a position that wants to treat people unequally isn’t just un-Republican, it’s down right “un-American.”

The feisty Ms. McCain also asked if equally is for everyone or only those who you agree with, saying, “do the rights and privileges we offer citizens include everyone in our country, or only some of us?”

Meghan was really big on the golden rule in her letter and said, “I believe that allowing gays and lesbians the freedom to marry is an idea whose time has come. Though my opinion is no doubt influenced by my family’s public role in political life, I still approach this from personal experience, as I think most people do. For me, this is about treating all of my friends, and all of our brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren the same as I want to be treated. Equality under the law and personal freedoms are what make America the greatest country in the world, and they are core values that I hold as a Republican.”
