*Sigh* Because my mom is a judge, I understand the job description. It appears that you could do with a high school civics lesson. In lieu of that, I'll just say that I vehemently disagree with your post. Your beliefs about Roe v. Wade and gay marriage cloud your judgment in such a way that you are unable to see the merit of the decisions the judges made in these cases. That's your loss, I guess.

Something tells me that you're just fine with "activist judges" when they make a decision that you agree with.

"Trashed"? It was graffiti on a wall. Talk about hyperbole. Man. Get a grip.
When gays don't get their way, it's an atrocity! But when gays do something really harmful to others, that's just fine because it's your people doing it?

Why don't Muslims let Jews and Christians into the Madrasas?

He never said that.

Maybe instead of worrying about imaginary rights gay people have, you should worry about imaginary things you see.

Imagined rights? That is pretty cruel and mean spirited. What makes you think the gay community has made up their new rights? I don't know of any. Maybe you should stop imaging these things.
We have a Constitution that explains the real rights we have. Gays made up the right to same sex marriage and tried to force the rest of us to go along with it. People don't like someone trying to force them to do something against their will.

Projecting much?

EVERYONE on this thread has said spraying graffiti on that Church's walls was WRONG. No-one has said it was "fine". Point me to a post that did.

What have gays done that is "really harmful" to others? I haven't heard about any gays going around bashing heterosexuals because they are straight, or gay men raping straight women or gays trying to stop straight people from getting married... Have you?

I daresay most gay people would rather have a GLBT building's walls graffitied, than be bashed, raped, or killed.

I never said it was fine. I know you can read. Don't try to fool me.

And I never said that it's an "atrocity" if gays don't get "their way".

I don't even look at this as a "gay versus straight" issue. As so many conveniently like to forget, 48% of Californians voted to retain same-sex marriage rights. It would be great if 48% of Californians were gay (), but that's not the case. There were a LOT of straight people who voted to keep same-sex marriage.

So, it's not a matter of gays getting their way, it's a matter of wanting to see everyone treated with respect and dignity.

So..who is forcing you to have a gay marriage or be gay against your will? Nobody is forcing you to go along with gay marriage (like you are not going along with it now) so chill.

And the rights also mentioned PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Oh let me guess. It applies only to straight couples and Christians!

Why do you look at this as an issue of straight versus gay, of "us versus them"?
