I do agree that this ruling does trample on one's religous freedoms. I have spoken plenty on the acceptance of gay-marriage eventually working it's way through our public educational systems, forcing others to except this idea. Belonging to the Catholic church, which totals one sixth of the world's population, we are suppose to allow our children to be forcefed this belief in our public educational systems, both through literature and/or lecture? This tramples on my families religous freedom as you said. I am all for the homosexual community to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect. However, do not highjack the definition of marriage twist it around and try to force one sixth of the worlds population to believe as you do. The word "Christmas" has been removed from all things government. So should the term "marriage", leaving it's original meaning remain intact. We should get the state out of the "marriage" business and give us all civil unions. <BR/>JWP<BR/>--------<BR/><A HREF="http://www.addictionrecovery.net/california" REL="nofollow">Addiction Recovery California</A>Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222491632410205748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-6165155328559678062008-05-24T08:18:00.000-04:002008-05-24T08:18:00.000-04:00I shudder to think what would have happened had we waited for the electorate to come around to ending slavery. I also shudder to think what would have happened had we waited for the electorate to come around to abolishing "separate but equal," Jim Crow laws, and segregation generally. Sometimes, some things are wrong, plain and simple. We can ill afford waiting for the electorate to become enlightened to this oppression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-33591497515420146702008-05-21T21:31:00.000-04:002008-05-21T21:31:00.000-04:00If gays are allowed to marry, it will send a message to straight people not only that having children isn't important, but that it doesn't really matter whether kids are raised by their biological parents. The court's response: "Although we appreciate the genuine concern for the well-being of children underlying that position, we conclude this claim lacks merit... Our recognition that the core substantive rights encompassed by the constitutional right to marry apply to same-sex as well as opposite-sex couples does not imply in any way that it is unimportant or immaterial to the state whether a child is raised by his or her biological mother and father. ! We do not alter or diminish either the legal responsibilities that biological parents owe to their children or the substantial incentives that the state provides to a child's biological parents to enter into and raise their child in a stable, long-term committed relationship."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-4908298422081485112008-05-21T05:51:00.000-04:002008-05-21T05:51:00.000-04:00Man this really pisses me off because it is immoral and unjust to deny homosexual couples their civil rights when even the most dysfunctional of heterosexual couples are entitled and granted these liberties. <BR/><BR/>One can easily do individual research and see that the utter dislike for gay marriage is clearly an anti-gay issue and not a pro-marriage issue. What are the arguments concerning society and gay marriage? Why is it such a big issue? The separation of church and state was instated to allow for the state to handle secular events and the church, sacred events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-27754451374839890572008-05-21T05:46:00.000-04:002008-05-21T05:46:00.000-04:00Gays and lesbians are not proposing anything that would in any way, violate, injure, profane, harm, or do away with the government's secular, legal contract called marriage. What is being demanded is the rights ( to receive the benefits of a legal contract) that heterosexuals now have. Millions of heterosexual couples have already signed up for these state-sanctioned, legal contracts. Gays and lesbians are simply demanding equal rights. In this conflict, there are three additional goals: 1) to stop the fighting -- to get this conflict behind us, 2) to create something that is positive and constructive, and 3) to generate support for and implement equal rights for both the gay and lesbian community and for the community at large.Paul wrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-43633301183037667672008-05-21T05:36:00.000-04:002008-05-21T05:36:00.000-04:00well the 3rd person on here is a fuck-tard! be sure to remember how you feel the next time you are getting some tube steakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-67469648527488142812008-05-21T02:01:00.000-04:002008-05-21T02:01:00.000-04:00that guy david needs to move to iran or some place religion rules the land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-47178353173453335432008-05-21T01:54:00.000-04:002008-05-21T01:54:00.000-04:00bisexual, are you sure this person isn't really a straight idiot>?tracihttp://www.queerty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-21223276119182955242008-05-21T01:49:00.000-04:002008-05-21T01:49:00.000-04:00Thank you for plugging my piece and my Web site. You may not have heard of a marriage discount, but they exist. Google "marriage discount," "married discount" and "marital discount" and you'll get nearly 3,000 hits.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate and respect your opinion that a business owner must use the gay definition of marriage instead of the one that reflects his deepest moral beliefs. Given that I disagree, the only thing I can do to prevent the government labeling people like me a "bigot" and making me lose my assets and maybe my freedom for behaving consistently with my values is to work as hard as I can to pass the California Marriage Protection Act. Right?<BR/><BR/>I have blogged about your silly argument about forcing religious leaders to marry gays here: http://www.gaysdefendmarriage.com/?p=5David Benkofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02857423153442032823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989945.post-36175093148276691812008-05-21T01:44:00.000-04:002008-05-21T01:44:00.000-04:00Good lord.
