Do You Support Gay Marriage?

While I do agree that the Mayor of San Fransisco is in violation of the law, I applaud his bravery in bringing this issue to the foreground. I'm one of those unusual conservatives to believes banning gay marriage is a violation of the tenets of the separation of church and state. I abhor the government determining what is moral and what is not. Those who oppose gay marriage don't understand it, therefore they oppose it.

This is the same thing that the Mormons went through when law makers realized they were practicing polygamy. They didn't approve of it, so they outlawed it. Congress decided to regulate an entire religeon's behavior. Again, they violated the separation of church and state.

Laws should be about protecting people, regulating industries (at a minimum level), providing for education and many other things. Not determining what is moral.

I have to agree with tsargent on this. What business is it of anyone but the couple involved, be they man/man, man/woman, woman/woman, dog/cat, dog/dog..........

Hear, hear! Well said my friend.

If gays are allowed to marry, exactly what liberties or rights have I lost? - None.

I don't like anarchy, and blatent violations of local law can become a bad situation. The efforts need to be in changing the law, not flaunting it, else this could backfire into a Constitutional amendment against it.

It's NO FUN when you guys say things that I agree with.....

Poor, poor Maisky. OK, I wouldn't want to you to be unhappy. Just go the the Media Bias thread. I gave you something to chew on there.

Thank you for your concern. I'm glad there are things we can still disagree about.
