It's up because Catholic adoption had to shut down their adoption services.

Since parents aren't allowed to opt out of teaching this belief system, then they should also teach about Jesus Christ, because belief in him is legal too. This is just as much a religion as any other, it's the religion of sex, the worship of sex. Lust is your God.

Separation of Church and State is a wonderful thing we have in this country. You call it religion of sex, normal people call it good education. Does your god bring you babies via stork or something?

No, they didn't -- they just decided that it was better to punish children by no longer assisting in their adoption than to obey state law. They had a choice and made it.

Boston Catholic Charities has decided to pull out of adoption services, rather than comply with Massachusetts law that requires adoption agencies not to discriminate against homosexual couples.

You probably don't believe it, though -- just like, a few decades ago, people just like you (except they were fixated on race, not sexual orientation) just refused to believe that American society would ever accept what they called the disgusting and destructive 'mixing of the races'.

You see, just like you, they had all sorts of nonsensical ways of rationalizing their bigotry.
Interracial marriage and gay marriage are 2 different things. Combining positive and negative particles of different colors is chemistry. Trying to combine 2 particles of the same charge creates nothing.

Btw, I am in a heterosexual interracial relationship and I don't care what gay people do. If anyone needs to banned from marriage, it should be liberal heterosexual yuppies/hipsters who think they're better than the rest of us because they "support gay people". Add them to the list of "stuff white people like" and pour it on the ash heap of history.

Combing 2 particles of different colors? Hahah, technically if you combine a positive and negative particle you get a neutral charge, combining a positive and positive gets a positive charge. Like when you wear socks on a thick carpet and build up a charge to then touch somebody with. Yeah, that's combining particles of the same charge.

Combining different colored particles, wow good stuff

Ah, the trite old "But same-sex marriages can't produce children!" nonsense.

First off, we don't limit the ability of people to marry based on their ability to conceive as a couple, so your point is utterly irrelevant. Second, if marriage is all about children, then you should actively support same-sex marriage, because same-sex couples do indeed have children, by a variety of means.

Uh huh. First, you complain about how same-sex marriages are like two electrons (hint -- using particle physics as a marital analogy is, at best, nonsensical), then you insist you have no problem with them.

Uh huh. Sure you don't...

..And this affects my marriage/lifestyle because? From what I see it affects the religious puritans more than anyone else because of their selective passages of the bible

They do have a couple of things in common:
1. Man has used the bible in both cases as a reason preventing in an attempt from happening
2. Man has also used bigotry and laws to prevent both from happening as well
