I would hope that everyone realizes that there are MANY on the left, who also believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman.

This is NOT simply a "right" issue.

Who are you to make assumptions of my financial status.
I haven't eaten there for over a year, when this mess first started.

I don't see why.

The way the current law is written, it's just pure discrimination to exclude same-sex couplings.

Not everyone uses the same vows.

You should have quit while you were ahead, because you're right - "gay" marriage shouldn't even be an issue. That's something the vast majority can agree on.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but several courts have determined that section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional. Word is, the Supreme Court will be hearing at least 2 DOMA cases this session.

Well the right will tell you that it somehow violates their religious rights to allow gays to marry. I've never heard an explanation as to how, but they'll still tell you it does.

That is the most important issue? The best use of your time is to go out and eat chicken? Or kiss someone in front of a fast food restaurant? That is the most important thing to you? If some son of a supernatural creature were to come back, he were to spend all his time protesting against gays? Instead of dealing with real problems?
thank you!!!!!
