Judging from voter reaction on marriage amendments around the country, I'd say the American public is not ready for same-sex marriage. The majority of people in California are not even ready. It will be a shame if the homosexual community pursues this through the courts. They should learn from the terrible division court-mandated social change wreaks by looking at what has happened with forced legalization of abortion. If the homosexual community really wants respect, they should pursue a path toward public acceptance, not judicial fiat. There is no homosexual right to marriage. Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Same-sex partnerships were never part of that. Homosexuals and those who support their goal are asking for a new right. Rather than using the courts to force same-sex marriage on the country, they ought to try to convince the majority of Americans that they should have this right. While they try to persuade Americans they should have this right, others, including me, will continue to help Americans understand why this is not good. This is as it should be in this great country!

    "The honest truth is that once you are done beating your wives, drinking to excess, passing judgment on others, misinforming your children (if you even pay attention to them), screwing your secretaries, shooting defenseless animals and cheating your taxes"

    A bit harsh maybe, but yeah, that's how I feel too. I've seen people who have no problem "running a train" (basically, a gangbang where the woman is a willing participant) who think "***" ought to be killed. There are heterosexual men who hit their girlfriends or wives or even kids who absolutely hate homosexuality.

    I believe it was a man of Nazareth who spoke, "Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone."

    The Bible says nothing about gay marriage, but that certainly won't stop the holy rollers from wrapping their hate in it.

    I say live and let live. To stand as strongly against one idea another to the degree these religeous radicals do is just hateful in my opionion. You would have to be radical to say one love is more godly than another. love is no longer the agenda. Most leaders speak on a platform of ignorance. The purpose of the church is to feed clothe inspire, etc., Not to judge or condemn. Not to mention isolate. Only in death will we really know. Until then stop reading into specific lines in the bible, and completley taking out of context. Self rightious ideas and the inabilitly to open our minds and hearts will continue to separate and and completely isolate us all from each other.
