>>Separation of church and state. Equal rights, freedom, and justice in our country. It wasn't that long ago that the Susan B. Anthony Amendment passed the Senate by only one vote. Ensuring equal rights to homosexuals does not in anyway take away any of my rights and protections under the law so there is no reason (other than religious beliefs) to deny that right.

>Ok, so now what does "equal rights" mean? Marriage? I don't think so. They can have civil unions and still not be disenfranchised, don't you think?

John;

Well, so far it has been stated or inferred that I am a bigot and dinosaur for my attitude against same sex marriage. As a Catholic I agree with the teachings of my Church – that Marriage is one of the Seven Holy Sacrament’s. Those that do not believe in the sanctity of marriage are entitled to his/her opinion. The Church also teaches that it is not a sin to be a homosexual but it is a sin to commit a homosexual act.

At this time the law allows people to leave his/her pet or another person whatever estate they may have in the form of a Last Will and Testament. Perhaps people who are for same sex marriages do not value marriage, or have had a bad experience in life.

Living in a society where it is “all about me” tends to give one an attitude that “anything goes”. If it feels good it must be good. Anyone should be able to do whatever he or she likes, but not in my book!
