Continued advances for gay and lesbian couples are a certainty. While public disucssion areas such as this usually end up focusing on personal opinion or religion, the legal aspect of this debate will reside in termonology, unified state standards, and all the priveleges currently protected by civil union arrangements. Taxes, medical disclosure, inheritance rights, etc. will either be pushed by a federal mandate to ensure equal protection for gays/lesbians in each state, or a set of laws focusing on independent aspects of the current inequalities will be legislated. It will happen, judging by opinion polls on the topic it will be gen next to do it.

that sensible comment being made, I am sure others will argue it's logic with emotional virtirol and venom. So before that occurs let me make a simple observation. The Bible says any waste of Gods seed is an act against God. This is why beastiality, masturbation, and sodomy is forbidden. If this is the case, than any woman on the pill, any man using a condem, anyone who masturbates, or any heterosexual couple that "pulls out" or the HUGE porn industry which includes hetero sodomy "called anal" are all equally as damned as gay men or lesbian women. Seems a bit silly, trying to comprehend or assume Gods knowledge and ability to judge on earth.

.... again sensible, but I am sure the weak argument will be to at least try and assume Gods role on earth, by that I mean condemn others based on personal prejudices. Otherwise we fall into babylon right, ya...... glass isn't insulation.

We should move toward a syntropic philosophy: Humanism correlating several factors. Should I have to remind you, this day, that Western culture has a history of 5000 years? www.publishingink.com The gods can achieve nothing without a “holy marriage” and Said Goddess, incarnate in the queen. And in the United States today, have the courts lost their minds. Nowhere in our patriarchal history did the ancient kings of Samaria, Babylon, Egypt or Phoenicia ever marry men. Such an insult to our sisters, who for thousands of years had the power of the logos, the creative word. Somewhere, from the famous oracles at Delphi, comes the Anglo-Saxon word wicce, a wise woman, and today, a lady capable of developing an intensity that verges on ferocity. In Europe, up until the reign of James I the nobility and clergy alike employed wise ladies to advise them of the weather, and all things, with God’s permission. But after the crusades, the church had confiscated much property and the nobility wanted equal. They began a persecution of their sister, and the persecution became a major industry, resulting from the seizure of real property. Now; a culture that marry man to man, or marry woman to woman, creates a great effrontery and places our sister in great danger of persecution. Some may say that this is a great leap, but can we imagine that for hundreds of years, men, for money, burned the greater part of the female population at the stake. This brings us to the discussion of Obama. Obama campaigned in Kenya for his cousin Raila Odinga while being a U.S. senator, and with American tax payer money. “Friends of Obama”: Gave nearly one million dollars to Odinga. Odinga then had 50 Christains burned alive in Kenya. Odinga is a radical communist appointed into the government. Obama’s grandmother and other family members say that Obama was born in Kenya. He has no Long Form Birth Certificate. Later, Obama’s mother became a U.S. citizen and Hawaii issued short form certificates to children that had no certificates when Hawaii became a state. For Obama to have a short form issued, he should have been born when his mother was twenty one, but Obama was born when his mother was nineteen. Obama does not even have a legal short form, and his father was not a natural born citizen. If we develop a cosmic concern, he should be deported back to Kenya.
