yes but think about this. America was founded because of the fact tat britain was restricting our rights, and now 200 years later we do the same to our own citizens. Come on now. What if the majority voted to kill of all the jews? Would u still be for it then?

negative. I have said this once, and I will say it again, and again, and yet again. Religion should never, ever mix with state. People should have the right to worship any religion they want, or none at all if they so choose.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

As u can see, the only reason people are against it are because they personally think its disgusting, which, is not a suitable reason for restricting ones rights, or because of religious reasons, but as it clearly states in the very first ammendment, since there is no law on religion, there should not be a law restricting something for a religous reason.

I never said it was, and in my opinion it is far from it, but I also understand people are different, and to restrict ones rights just because of a "difference" is, first and foremost, morally wrong, second of all, against the constitution. eek:

I was just watching the Discovery channel and they had a stroy about how there is a scientist doing a study on monkeys in China and he has discovered that homosexuality in monkeys actually does have an evolutionary purpose. The story should be up on the daily planet website tomorrow, so when it is, i'll post it here so you guys can look at it.

We can learn many things about how we behave as humans from how other animals behave.

Lets look at this one at a time.
Are you saying being gay is a religion, therefore prohibiting gay marriage some how denys the free exercise thereof?
How could banning gay marriage violate freedom of speech? There is certinly a lot of talk about the subject. In the news too.
Now the right of the people to peaceably assemble should not be considered because it isn't about assembling the people, unless you count the little ones created by the marriage.
And a bunch of people have petitioned the government for a redress of grievances.
