I used to be rather liberal when I was younger - I have voted for Green and Democratic party candidates. Do you think that your changing political views are somehow unique?

Actually it's a chance you would be taking...What you are talking about is against the law, and if I were the one that was fired I'd sue to to the limits of the law.

That's a fairly stupid assumption on your side, isn't it?

So - you are willing to dismiss religious underpinnings for laws as long as someone can clothe them in secular garments? Are you naive much?

I have, and it doesn't change anything about what I stated. On any issue where both Federal and State law contradict, Federal law trumps State law. If the Federal law is silent on the matter, State law takes priority.

Who has been deprived of what when homosexuals marry?

Any shred of morality.

Why are you opposed to SSM?

Unlike you - there are several females who not Caucasian who I am attracted to - perhaps I will marry one of those ladies.

It boggles my mind how inter-racial marriage an be equated to SSM.
