mad: It doesn't matter if it is a man and man, man and woman, or woman and woman... the fact is we have the constitution, its amendments, and the bill of rights that clearly state, that we have the right of pursuit of happiness... it doesn't state only if you want to marry the opposite sex. Who are we to tell people or make laws that tell people that what they believe in, how they feel, and who they love is wrong.
I don't give a flying fuck what the bible says; just because the bible says that 2 men should not sleep in the same bed DOES NOT make it wrong. There are all other types of religions and people who do not believe in religion.
It is stuffing some stupid inbred bible thumpers believe down the throat of every single American if it happens. I don't want a religious group telling me that if I marry a woman (I am not gay but beside the point) that I am a bad person, that I should not have the rights of every heterosexual person out there. Just because someone falls in love with someone of the same sex doesn't mean they should be DISCRIMIATED against. It is like telling me since I am a woman I should not vote; it is saying that African Americans should still not have civil rights.
If this happens Bush is going to make us move back 70 years. We have only gotten half as far as we should be and another dumbass Bush is going to set us back once again...
I am sorry about the language but this really gets to me... there are too many people out there that want this and too many people out there that stay together longer than a heterosexual couples that should DESERVE the same rights as everyone else!!!! mad:

RELIGION SHOULD HAVE NO PART OF THIS LAW!!! Not everyone believes in the same things, churches are cults, to have someone tell you how to live your life, tell you to give them money (for god eek: ) and tell you what to believe in.
I believe in god, but I also believe that I live my life to the fullest and how I want to, I don't need someone to tell me how to do it.

*I am not trying to offend anyone but this should not be a religious battle since the church should have NO say in what a LAW is!* period! separation of church and state, the government is supposed to be bias on this, not just try to get the religious votes!
