Next time we get into that discussion I will quote you: "Would Rosa Parks been okay with sitting in the middle of the bus?"Mark in DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478832787656152843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-27377576997014499342009-12-01T04:20:19.358-05:002009-12-01T04:20:19.358-05:00I honestly for the life of me can't understand...I honestly for the life of me can't understand what the heartburn is about allowing gay marriage. So, if Bill and Betty down the street get a divorce does that impact your marriage also? What is really behind their denying at last estimate 31 million gay people their civil rights? No, not the shit they spout, but the deep dark of the night reasonings.<br /><br />To me it is a violation of civil rights. Either everyone may enjoy marriage, not civil unions, but marriage, or none of us do. Equality is supposed to be the cornerstone of our country. But, I guess it is a pick and choose version of equality. <br /><br />The only other thing that makes me as mad, is the DADT, and the states that don't allow gay couples to adopt. There is only one other group in this country that gets less respect and equality than do LGBTQ. I hear you thinking out there, the answer? Children.<br /><br />No civil unions! Marriage yes!Biki Honkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731335682679434307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-10749003742336561142009-11-30T18:32:47.709-05:002009-11-30T18:32:47.709-05:00I.

We can't let our opponents convince us to take less than what we are all worth. It may take us longer to get what we want, but in the end we will have what we deserve, which is being viewed as fully equal under the law.Kyle Leachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13369076904327452139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-52032930614067013712009-11-30T15:19:38.604-05:002009-11-30T15:19:38.604-05:00Well said.

We all ...I also loved the partial person comments.<br /><br />We all need to keep fighting. Even as a Canadian, I'm always living in fear that our PM will yank it away from us.<br /><br />On the campaign trail all those years ago, he said he'd challenge gay "marriage." That was years ago and while it would be the final nail in his coffin, I still wonder when he's going to pull that out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-26245977465298155852009-11-30T13:44:50.440-05:002009-11-30T13:44:50.440-05:00Bravo!!
