It's Different When It Isn't Different At All
There is nothing 'less than' about these weddings in California. We don't have to reach for the thesaurus to find other words to describe them.

There was a news item today about a group of college presidents who have signed on to an effort to "rethink" the drinking age in America. While not e...
William Bolthouse, owner of a major organic food supplier, uses the profits from organic drink sales to fund his noxious political views, like the campaign to ban same-sex marriage in CA.
It is shocking that politicians with personal lives as deeply flawed as Edwards, the Clintons, McCain and others, set themselves up as defenders of an institution they have raped of all moral significance.
Apparently, the only place you can see a girl kissing another girl on MTV nowadays is on The Real World after six tequila shots in the hot tub. Certainly not in the video called, um, "I Kissed a Girl."
Yes, it was a simple, tasteful wedding, with our rabbi, our immediate families, 65 friends, and something we hadn't expected -- more than 100 reporters and photographers from all over the world.
Mr. Huckabee, If same sex marriage between human beings makes man-animal marriage constitutional, would it make same sex man-animal marriages like the one Winston and I plan constitutional too?
It's not enough to be tolerant and caring, because the gay people we care about are being treated as second-class citizens.
Things are supposed to be legal unless someone can claim to be harmed by them. If our system were truly about what harms, we would promptly legalize currently illegal things that are harmless: gay marriage, pot, and Mexicans.
In May, California's Supreme Court may move the state toward full marriage, if not even granting full marriage rights for gays and lesbians outright.
There are important personal and symbolic reasons for gays to marry in California. But it is a mistake to act without thinking carefully about the serious legal and financial implications.
There was a lot of celebrating in California during the last week as gay and lesbian couples could finally get married legally. But for the newlyweds themselves, there was even more celebration for the most-basic rights to some of life's most mundane activities.
Is it harsh to liken the Senator from Arizona and other civil unionists to segregationists who fought to the death to deny equality to blacks?
To fully understand recent events, it's important to remember a tragedy that happened thirty-five years ago, and how much things have changed for gays and lesbians since then.
If gays are violating God's law, then let God sort it out.

....No children will be hurt by divorce ... no halves will be omitted from inheritances ... fewer men and women will lose their lives because of jealousy, hopefully.
I am a strong Democrat, but I still believe marriage should be ONE man and ONE woman ... NOT multiple marriages of mothers and fathers who destroy the lives of their children.
So you believe divorce is evil?
Wow!!! People are so interesting. It's wild to hear everyone's perspective on gay marriage. I asked Jesus in my life on May 17, 1975 and it was the greatest moment of my life but I never stopped loving my cousin because he was gay. I read the Bible, all of it, and there is no way God had his hand on every little word in it. The Bible, especially the Old Testament, had to be written by some old guys that wanted to control society.
If God is going to make someone be attractive to their same sex and then send them to hell for acting on it, that is not a God I want to serve. I've got to tell you though, I loved what Jesus had to say. In his day, can you imagine what people must have thought of him? They probably thought he was nuts with his compassion and love for all people. Call me crazy but what I do know is that I don't feel so alone when things are bad and I pray or when things are great and I rejoice with Jesus. Maybe it is all in my mind but it is really cool.
Obama didn't stand up for gays Saturday and say they have every right to marry one another. That was disappointing. Stop the judgement America and let people be who they are without your condemnation. People don't choose their sexual preference, they are born that way.
I wish them the best. This issue has sure brought out some strange postings!! yikes.

Gays should have a special court that they go before to plead for an exception to get married. I would grant this couple the right to get married.
