Exactly. So many people are going to be on the wrong side of history. I truly don't understand why Bob and Christopher or Amber and Denise wanting to marry each other is such a big deal to some people.

@Sophiasmommy: Again, if only you would have the power to ban gay marriage forever, would you do it?

No, it doesn't give the same rights.

And we tried that whole "separate but equal" strategy before in this country. It was a big failure.

I'm cool with polygamy, as long as everyone involved is doing so voluntarily. And that children aren't involved like they "traditionally" have been.

Are you not down with polygamy? The Bible is cool with it. David had all kinds of wives and concubines, and God offered to give him more if he wanted.

It's not, but that's not the issue at all. Gays aren't trying to end heterosexual marriage.

Telling gay people they don't deserve the same legal rights as others is bigoted indeed.

And by the way, please be accurate.....Cathy is not "anti gay", he is "anti gay marriage"......big difference......
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant post. You got a rep point for that one. Another example of fake moral outrage from the left.
