Episcopalians already have. Isn't that precious?

Absolutely.

No one said that homosexuals don't have a right to express their sexuality anyway they choose. Your sarcastic comments are assuming something not in evidence. Why do folks always make the leap that equates logical opposition to changing the legal definition of marriage into 'hating' homosexuals? Oh, I know, then they can post stuff like this:

You and everyone else that says gay marriage (and gays in general) shouldnt be, are saying just that. Marriage is a form of self expression, showing the world that a person is straight (or in some cases gay). It is a commitment between two people. I have already posted the definition of marriage, marry, husband, and wife, and in none of the definitions does it say that it has to be between a man and a woman. Please show me where the "legal definition" of marriage specifies that it only applies to male/femal unions, and I wont post in this thread again.

Pot, kettle, black syndrome. This self-serving: "I'm so tolerant - and you're not" claptrap is hypocrisy on a stick. You see it when people sneer and rant at anyone who disagrees with them on something as important - and devisive - as 'gay marriage' while they pretend to be 'open-minded'. The same folks will go ballistic over a Christian expressing their beliefs and will post vile comments against 'religion' - but still think they're 'tolerant' because they support gay marriage in the mistaken belief that it won't affect them. Easy to be 'tolerant' when you think it's at no cost to you, isn't it? Take a good look at the severe limits of your own 'tolerance' and what and whom YOU 'hate' before presuming to lecture anyone here on 'hatred'.

I have been civil until some schmo fired off at me about being gay because I have no problems with gay marriage. I have no problems with relgion, and people's right and abilities to practice it. I was raised in a strong christian family. I went to church twice a week every week. I prayed every day, sometimes several times a day. I made my peace with god, and what did it do for me? Not a whole lot of much. I choose to steer clear of the whole religious thing. Religion is a tool to give the weak minded something to believe in. God (as percieved in the bible) is a fictitional character devised to give the faithless something to have faith in, becaue they have no faith in themselves. That doesnt mean in any way that I have a roblem with people expressing their religious beliefs. And believe me, gay marriages wont affect me in any way, shape, form, or fashion.

BTW - Just so you know, because you assume you know me, the only person on this planet that I hate, to the point that if I ever cross paths with him again one of will die, is my ex stepfather. 10 years of hell, and he cheated on my mother for about the last 6 or 7 of those 10, and then threw us out of the house on my graduation day. I am by far not a hateful person. This guy makes a comment about a genocide type abolishment of the gay community, and I get lectured about me being hateful? Ya. OK.
