Good for Newsweek for having the guts to run this piece!!
Many years ago, I became a Christian, and was so turned off by the narrowness and refusal of individuals to do their own thinking, that I spent several years, part-time, in a mainline seminary, studying Hebrew and Greek and the rest, so that I could better dig out the answers to my deepest questions. (I'm proud to say that two decades later, my son did the same thing. Neither of us is a "Christian" today, but I think that both of us had a need to dig profoundly into matters of the spirit.)

I am so glad to see that in the nearly 72 years I've lived, opportunities for living fuller lives have opened up for so many people: women, people of color, and now at last the homosexual community. It gives me hope. It gives me hope to see that the USA has actually elected a black man to the presidency -- when I was little I lived in a Jim Crow southern state, and to see this change in my lifetime is magnificent.

Hang in there, my gay brothers and sisters. I don't think it will take that long for your turn at equality to arrive; progress and change tend to gather speed as they come into being. This country needs more and more loving unions, stable families, loved children, happy homes. And we all need practice at accepting and valuing one another.

I am a man of GOD and believe in the his commandmentes and beileive that they aplie to all man kind. The word of GOD said that thou shalt not lie with MANKIND AS WOMANKIND or WOMANKIND WITH WOMANKIND and that when that do this that thay are drawen away of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves who change the word of GOD iinto a lie. This deed is a sin into DEATH along with ADULTERY, FORMICATION, COVETOUSNESS, FULL OF ENVEY, MURDER, DECEIT,BACKBITERS,HATERS OF GOD. This is what JESES died for one tiime, to give man kind the power not to SIN by giving them THE HOLYGOST5. For those that believe or up holed Gay Marriage and believe that thay should have the same rights as that of a man and woman marraige, I have a few question for you. Their are those that lie with BEAST and love them as their mates. Should thay come out of the closit and demand the same wights? Can thay say no one can say that it is a SIN or a evial deed? If thay do it is a hate crime. Would you like your kides exposed to this? Or be told that you have to work with this tip of person and have no rights to say anything? GOD said whosoever lieth with a BEAST shall SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH. So one shouil repint and do it no more and come to GOD for salvation? Right ? Or be excepted as a GAY person would like to be? Right ? If it is exceptible for one SIN thin it shoul be for all. Right?

I am a Christian and i agree with jabdallah. Marriage is between a man and a woman. It says in the Bible, "Man shall not lie with man or beast". People who say that this is judgemental are wrong. I don't hate the person for being gay, I hate the decission that they made.

Holy cow! As an engineer I can never recall any structure held together by all nuts or all bolts. It seems unnatural that two persons of the same gender would be united with in any sexual context. I guess you could find a way to couple in some fashion but again, holy cow! My opinion as a Muslim (and as all Muslims would have) is that sodomy or what is laughingly called "Gay Marriage" (what's gay is usually adherent) is unnatural. We try to put such cutsie names to things we want to do that we know is wrong. Get a life people.

My comments are as follows; YES SAME SEX "MARRIAGES' ARE WRONG. Using the Bible to try to justify yourselves in sinful lust is just showing your lack of understanding in what little you have read. The quotes from your version of the Bible are not upheld in mine or in any other God fearing person. You haven"t told the whole story. Nor do you even come close to the truth. You cannot understand the Word without the interpretation of the Holy Spirit. Which you have no knowledge of. You misquoted the words of Paul and left out other books instruction. Try Romans chapter 1 verse
26', and I quote: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the NATURAL
use into that which is against NATURE:" Verse 27 " And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, " Verse 28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient." I pray for you, for you know not what you do.

OUR USA IS IN THE SAME NORTH THAT BROUGHT DOWN THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THAT CAME AFTER HOMOSEXUAL EMPERORS TOOK CHARGE. NOW WE HAVE SAME SEX MARRIAGES, ETC. THE END WILL BEGIN THE DAY, NOT IN THE DISTANT FUTURE, WHEN WE WILL HAVE A "MALE" PRESIDENT WITH A FIRST GENTLEMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.INSTEAD OF A FIRST LADY.

I enjoy reading Newsweek; hope to continue to enjoy it.

Mr. Ross confuses US interest with Israel interest and these two do not share a same interests most of time, basically what his offering is playbook from Nazi treatment of Warsaw ghetto and/or Israelis treatment of Gaza territory, starve and punish whole population while hoping their leaders will be replaced by their desperate people, it's unconscionable and have not worked in Palestinian territories during last 40 years let along with patriotic Iranians in last 30 years, what USA needs a genuine good old US ingenuity of mutual respect and dialog, with Mr. Ross plan we loss Iranian population good will toward US, Mr Obama will do great service for US if he cut the influence of Israel lobbies from effecting US policies in a negative way, yes we want change and Mr. Ross is a recycle!

The generic medication is just as effective.

After reading the new book, thePRICKindex, I have to ask myself and others. Is Mr. Spitzer a #8 and #9prick? Please go read the book to find out the descriptions, character traits, types of relationships, and motive..... I think you'll find it fascinating!

Before we go any further with arguments about prosecutorial fairness in allowing Eliot Spitzer off the hook for his dalliance with a hooker and possible involvement in a prostitution ring I think we need to first address the breaking of laws by bush, chaney and rove. The outing of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent is far more injurious to the American public than any sexual shenanigans or involvement in prostitution rings of a governor, not to mention the commutation of lewis ???scooter??? libby???s sentence for the Plame Affair after his conviction for his involvement to keep him silent.
Anyone want to hazard a guess how much the vetting and training of a successful CIA agent such as Valerie Plame cost the American Public and all of that expense thrown out the window in a vindictive act by the bushcabal in an effort to punish Joe Wilson for his honesty which future tarnished their administration or the fact that it destroyed and rendered useless the project in which Ms. Plame was involved.
Sure go after Eliot Spitzer. Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law and make him do his time as prescribed by the fairness in the belief we once had that none of the bushcabal???s subjects are above the law, BUT FIRST make those criminals at the top of the food chain pay for there infractions and also without commutations, pardons or exemptions from prosecution.
The Valerie Plame infraction is only one of many issues that require scrutiny and ultimate prosecution from this group of high level thugs.
Next we may go into the discussion of Gonzales and the firing of the Justices for political reasons.
Do we truly have that short of a collective memory as a public or is it just the spinelessness of the Democrats now in power?
I believe it more about ???Turn About is fair play??? or the fear of it, which keeps them form pursuing the just coarse of action.

ok

WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND TAKE CARE OF OF FAMILYS .

this is a good idea!

this is a good idea!

i agree

Before I voted today I wanted to be sure where the candidates stood on certain issues. Never mind the rhetoric of what they "say". What did they do? My first issue I checked on was the abortion issue.
I made up my mind based on that issue alone. I needed to go no further. If the person who is to run our country doesn't care for an unborn life, why would he care for those that are already here?
