If religion has nothing to do with your opposition for “gay” marriage, where do you stand on barring religion from any contractual relationshup, ie marriage? I’d be ok if marriage were replaced with civil unions for heterosexuals, leaving “marriage” solely as a religious ceremony like confirmation or bar-mitzvah.

I mow my lawn, pay my taxes, volunteer in my kids’ school and my church, and am kind to kids, the elderly and animals. I am pretty boring. I am favor of a strong defense and of law and order. I am fiscally conservative. I believe we all have a duty to serve our country.

I also think it is unwise to exclude qualified people from serving their country in the military.

Finally, I think a society is more stable if most of its adults are legally commited in a long-term monogamous relationship with one other adult who they love and with whom they want to share a household. I think children living in such households will grow-up morely to be happy, productive memebers of society. The adults in sich households will also be more likely to be employed, law-abidding and tax-paying.

You may label me a “militant dyke” but that is my contrubition to a “rational” discussion with you. I wish you no harm or ill-will nor any one else on the “right.” Barring religious reasons, there is no logical reason to deny me benefits and responsibilities available to lawfully wed heterosexual couples.

If the differences are that intolerable, then just walk away without making a scene..without screaming prejudice…without practicing the hate that you profess to hate so much. Does that qualify as HYPOCRICY? I think so.
