I believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman,not same
sex unions.I think that it is wrong to force a lifestyle, that many
find repugnant,onto our society.
Using possible job loses, if the states don't overturn gay marriage
bans, is the epitome of stupidity.

Exactly how it sounds. Acceptance, not tolerance, of the gay community. I don't want to ever have to organize another candlelight vigil for teens who committed suicide because they were bullied about being gay, regardless if they were or were not. To never have another headline that a man was beaten into a coma in a gay bar because a heterosexual (or closeted homosexual) didn't take to getting hit on well.
Basically, to not live in fear in summation. That is all I'm asking for.

DOES this really make me such a "bigot"?

So much for the 'Land of the Free'.....
Should people be free to do whatever they please as long as people are not causing harm to anyone? Like it's cute that you have an opinion it's just a shame that it make's you sound like a backward twit who doesn't even know the meaning of humanity or the civilised world. It's a good thing this is happening because it forces the backward officals to catch up with modern times.
If you don't like it...so what, just get on with you're own life instead of infecting people with your poison.edit on 19/3/2011 by Traydor because: (no reason given)

Tolerance is not enough. Tolerance just means survivable in a hostile environment. It lacks protection or respect to the quality of life. A lack of understanding.
I know that some people do not like how public the gay community is about equality and freedom, but aren't the murders, rapes and attacks against them just as vocal?

.....I REALLY do think that tolerance will work just fine.
Just mind your own business and I will gladly follow suit.
Do we have a deal?
I wish I had the right to be left out of crap involving fat smelly people, but it happens from time to time.

How do gay people marrying infringe upon your rights? You are putting yourself in the middle of their rights. And that isn't right.
Where in the Bible did Jesus talk about gays being evil and immoral? I read the New Testament, but I just couldn't it. Nor could my pastor.
