Yeah, and when it came up for vote regarding interacial marriage, interracial marriage always lost.....that is, until the Supreme Court had to step in and overrule the states' laws. Do you think blacks and whites should still not be able to marry just because the majority of the public voted against it? When you're wrong you're wrong. Majority opinion does not trump the civil rights of citizens in a free country (which is not a theocracy). Mark my words....it won't be much longer before the Supreme Court will again need to step in to ensure equal rights of the minority.

I'm an observant Jew. I follow Torah and the Talmud, and I follow the traditions of the Jewish people.
I keep kosher (to the best of my ability living in NC), I pray in the morning, afternoon, and evening, I say Sh'ma.

And I have absolutely no reservation or hesitation in saying that there is no reason a loving homosexual couple should be denied the right to marry.

Nobody should be forced to live by the religious laws I choose to abide by.

Who's to say it won't?

Remember the big "May Day March" by the illegal aliens in Downtown Los Angeles.

When the nation saw the millions of illegals on the march it gave the entire nation a view of what was REALLY going on with illegals "demanding their rights".

We all know what happened next. BACKLASH!

Same can be said for the lesbian Kiss-in's. Sure they'll try to do the "christian thing" by giving them free sandwiches. Just a token.

Wow, Jesus' pic might as well be right there next to the very definitions of abnormal.

Unless you want to call being born of a virgin and rising from the dead normal.

Or going against the accepted standards of society in his time.

Or turning water into wine, when he's not walking on it.

I dunno, you pick.

Guess there would be times when being abnormal IS good. Like if you're Einstein or Shaquille O'Neal.

Sorry, your abnormal is always bad schtick is bust.

At least, we don't disturb the gays at gay prides or anything. We let them freely do anything they want.

1st amendment for the world!
I agree. I think a better idea would be to show up dressed as a bride and groom. After all, this is all about gay marriage.

You do realize that homosexuals aren't "illegals" We are citizens of this country, and pay taxes just like you.
How would you like your rights denies for any reason if you were a citizen?

I don't follow any organized religion. The bible is a book and holds no special significance in my life.

Try again, this time with science.

Nobody is denying gays rights. Gays can eat at Chick-fil-A 6 days a week like everyone else can.

Marriage isn't a human "right".

The man voiced his opinion about gay marriage and he's being vilified by homosexuals and their supporters.

The most ridiculous part of it all is that they are taking out their frustrations like 4 year old children by having these passive aggressive manipulative tantrums at FRANCHISED CHICK FIL A RESTAURANTS - instead of taking it to MR. CATHY'S FRONT DOOR.

SO STUPID. SO IRRATIONAL. SO TYPICAL.

No surprises here. It's the only issue the public feels passionate about (whether in favor or against).
