Well, so am I (your last line), however this is a political issue, the gays just wanted to disrespect the religious sect. They already have civil unions, etc. (shrugs)
Next on Oprah, obese civil rights and Man/Sheep marriages, brought to you by a Progressive America.
Since when is marriage exclusively a right for the religious? Why does it get the churches all upset at a civil marriage between two people of the same sex? If your church is against it fine but there is no reason to deny someone a
civil right to marry the one they love, regardless of sexual orientation. No one is forcing any church to marry people of the same sex, it's just giving these people a right to a civil marriage, something we heterosexuals enjoy. So the question is, why discriminate?
I also find it funny how people equate same sex marriages to somehow opening the door for human/animal marriages, condoning pedophilia and other crap like that. Truly the argument for the weak and simple minded.
