Jeff, have you not yet seen that I never wear my good pants when I go to fight for freedom. You and Jindal are in the same boat, and it's stuck in the mud of the Mississippi.
Christ followers figuratively have their hands and pants dirty all the time. We are engaged in fighting for freedom, not for ourselves, but for those than are hungry (ask Jindal what he's doing about that), from poverty (ask him again), from unjust social systems (which he underwrites), from addiction and real evils like human trafficking and marginalizing gay and homosexual people.
We share with those you proclaim to be hopeless that there really is hope to be found, just not in the religion of exclusion.
Nobody cares what you know about your bible, jeff.
Before people care what you know, they have to know that you care.
You don't. Uganda must really be a blessed country, since gays can't get married there. I'm sure it would be quite easy for you to get a visa. If you need money on your journey some of us will assist you. I'd be quite generous, and I live on social security.

Since I am a straight male that SUPPORTS same-sex marriage its affect on MY life is about the same as someone putting ketchup on their eggs .... Lets see if they can understand that.
Comparisons are not the forte of fundamentalists. They seem to have trouble seeing legitimate parallels.

LOL I guess fundies aren't the only ones who have trouble getting the point of comparatives, Johnny! It is not wrong, Sans . . . it is just irrelevant to JohnnyMack's life.
I have to say that I'm pleased that so many people have been supporting the new reality in America. And I'm sad, but not surprised, to see the bigots still clinging to their backwards thinking.
Up next: the implosion of the politicians who stand up against the new reality.
That the properly secular decision that SSM is legal is analogous to loss of religious freedom is as bad an analogy as the dog fighting one.
Still have never seen posted one thing about how this will change or affect the life or marriage of anyone else.
Correction...one thing mentioned has been a potential loss of income tax revenue due to the extra deductions given to married people. It's hard to believe that anyone other than somebody (jeffie) desperately scrambling to find a legitimate reason would consider this consequential enough to even mention.
Especially since that "reason" applies just as readily to interracial marriages, intra-racial marriages between people of other religions, or really in general marriages between people who are of different religions than the person putting forth the "reason" and that person's partner, marriages between people who have different hair colors as compared to the person putting forth the "reason" and that person's partner, eye color, height, weight, etc.
And give that all those distinctions have just as much secular legitimacy underlying them as sexual orientation.
