No one bats an eye? In all honesty, I've never seen two men hold hands in public and kiss. Why is that?

This is pretty common in the part of Minneapolis where I live. I don't think anyone cares.

Maybe you live in a place where they don't feel safe doing it.

I have lived in many cities, including Atlanta, which has plenty of gays, but I have seriously never seen two men or even two women kissing in public and holding hands.

LMAO...Jesus Christ himself started the Catholic Church?

Which scripture delineates him doing such a thing?

Jesus didn't start any churches. Please...don't be ridiculous.

DOMA is still the rule and same-sex marriage the exception with the overwhelming majority of states prohibiting homosexual marriage.

In fact, 30 of the existing state DOMAs are amendments to their state constitutions.

Do you really think those states will tolerate having same-sex marriage forced on them?
Oh yea...they most certainly will. Not as soon as i would like, but they will. They most definitely will.

They may call it marriage, but it's really not.
According to the Catholic Church I am a bastard so I couldn't give two ****s about what they think.

Huh? Do they feel compelled to run away and shield their children when they see two heteros doing it?

And some courts have not used the compelling state interest standard. You're still avoiding the point.

If by some crazy misinterpretation of the constitution, the Supreme Court does not overturn bans against ssm, do you agree or not that the number of states that will legalize ssm has an upper limit of 20 or so ? That the recent wave of legislative victories will slow to a trickle ?
