It swings both ways. You want to legislate your immoral beliefs upon Christians and force them to accept SIN as natural and normal.

Not really, no one is forcing Christians to have same sex marriages.

I will be glad when all of the states treat people equally - one state at a time though.
Just because a single judge approves SSM doesn't mean you will get true equality. I don't care if you have a legal document saying you are married. I won't validate the marriage by pretending that a homosexual marriage is just as good and valid in God's eyes as a heterosexual marriage. I'm sure there are plenty of Arkansans that feel the same way.

No, but you are forcing us to be pro-gay or be an outcast of society!

Do you not read posts others write on a thread you decide to post in? I guess not. Instead of real issues this is YOUR main one............ridiculous. Country burns and you scream gay marriage.............

Trying to make religion law has hurt the GOP, but that isn't what I was talking about. The GOP has a demographics problem and sit there and wonder why, the whining and complaining about diversity as you did earlier explains why the GOP can't figure out why they have a demogrpahic problem.

When will the feigned outraged ware on women start............it appears the "right hates gays" has a spark now. All liberals do every election anymore. When will you folks ever debate on real issues? Probably never. So pathetic but you and your public schools and unions have dumbed down the society so much go turn the nation into Detroit. Why you want to do that I don't know........but you do. You will burn in the end like the rest.

I don't believe in Theocracy. Fact of the matter is many people disagree on what is moral and what is immoral. What is natural and normal and what isn't natural and normal.

This isn't about forcing anyone to accept anything, this is about equality under the law. Laws should not be made off personal religious beliefs.

For starters equality is a real issue. As far as complaining about what the liberals do every election, should we revisit how the whole gay marriage thing became an election issue in the first place (2004 Karl Rove). Just because the issue as a whole no longer favors the Republicans as it did in the 2004 elections, doesn't mean it isn't still relevant.

As far as discussing the "real issues", do you think the GOP is really any better at this?? Have you seen a Republican State Legislature lately??

Right or wrong............is the key............gay mob and media run wild.........and the rest are bigots according to them. Is that right? LOL

What is wrong with you? Folks can't have an opinion and even vote anymore as this post proves.

No one is forcing you to be pro-gay. You don't have to partake in any gay weddings just because it is legal.
