This fits in with the sorting out process that's happening in America. People are, more than ever, moving to states and regions where the people are more likely to have shared values and beliefs. People are just more comfortable being around those more like themselves. This is good.
This is just another incremental bid to FORCE, REPEAT FORCE, REPEAT FORCE everyone to adopt their agenda and to FORCE, REPEAT FORCE, REPEAT FORCE churches to either violate their beliefs are be shut down. This is already happening, a church CHOSE based on their beliefs not to perform a gay wedding on their grounds and was successfully sued?!!! What next? You will perform the ceremony or we will sue you out of existence?? Churches amend you beliefs to comply with our selfish wants or we will force you to close your doors? Since when did the courts have the right to create rights where none exists and to force private agendas>>>>
Not sure it's good but does seem to be the way. Guess we'll adjust and learn to live with it that way.
Pope Benedict XVI-------And in a clear warning to Catholic politicians, he continued, “Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or "legalization of evil" is something far different from the "toleration of evil.”
Consequences of Gay Marriage:
Governor Patterson of New York has had all Birth Certificates changed to remove Mother and Father. They will say progenitor A,B or Legal persons A,B, C. Thus a child may never know who his biological Mother or Father are,
Education books produced by the largest supplier of such books in California are removing the words Mother and Father.
Future Consequences:
The editor of a new book, Same Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty: Emerging Conflicts, summarizes the general issue this way: "All six contributors (to the book)-religious and secular, left, center and right-agree that same sex marriage is a threat to religious liberty."
Churches could lose their tax exempt status,"
People could be sued for their personal beliefs."
Pastors would be forced to bless same sex unions.
Anecdotal evidence:
1. Catholic Charities in Boston shut down its adoption agency, rather than comply with the anti-discrimination requirement for the placement of children. 2. A Knights of Columbus chapter in Canada was sued when it refused to rent out its hall for a same sex wedding reception.3. A Christian marriage counselor lost her job when she referred a lesbian couple to another therapist, rather than counsel them herself. 4. A Christian photographer was fined by a Human Rights Commission in New Mexico because she refused to take pictures at the commitment ceremony of a lesbian couple.
GLBT tactics:
Eliminationism (targeting and freezing a victim, ridicule him--Saul Alinsky the Father of Community organizing).
What, really, is eliminationism?
It's a fairly self-explanatory term: it describes a kind of politics and culture that shuns dialogue and the democratic exchange of ideas for the pursuit of outright elimination of the opposing side, either through complete suppression, exile and ejection, or extermination.
New England can trade the Patriots and Bruins for the Packers and Oilers!

carljoseph-
I am a gay man and I am very much against suing any private religious organization for not wanting to host our events. If they don't like me, fine... I'll take my money to the Unitarians.
And as a Catholic, I think that the Pope is way off his rocker for calling homosexuality "evil". Evil is a strong word to use, and equating homosexuality with things like rape or murder is ridiculous. He may call it gross or whatever, but evil doesn't sound quite right. It would be like saying eating shellfish or touching a dead pig is "evil". This word should not be thrown around like that.
1 Cor. 6:9-11 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."
For the bible thumpers:
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak." 1 Corinthians 14:34
"A Christian cannot be accused of any wrongdoing". Romans 8:33
"Happy are those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." Psalms 137.9
"Anyone who works on the sabbath day must be put to death" Exodus 31:12-15
"Everyone will have to worship Jesus, whether they want to or not" Philippeans 2:10
The sign of the new Marriage Rights Coalition coming from our chapter in Palm Springs is a white ribbon with a knot tied in it. Wear it and spread the word of equality so that all may be able to tie the knot someday.
Here are almost all the arguments, both for and against, gay marriage.

What a great article. I want to know you.
Marriage has been seriously been hurt by the promotion of the contraceptive pill, which has loosened morals and doubled the divorce rate within as span of 10 years. Secondly, it has polluted our waters which has caused the growth of breasts on men and reduced sperm-counts. Deviant sexual behavior has been promoted undermining natural law and the dignity of marriage. Next comes Sharia law, because the Muslims are smart enough to discourage these things.
