If you are not a bigot, then what are you? How can same sex marriage effect you? It will only effect gays, and give them the same rights you enjoy if you are married...

Never before in my life have I ever heard of an independent contractor having been forced to provide service against his will. As a private contractor myself, I reserve the right to decide what clients I will accept. My decisions for acceptance or rejection are my business, not the business of the government.

So, you're fine with a nationwide ban on pork, cheeseburgers, shrimp, lobster, and shellfish - right? After all, their mere EXISTENCE in this country forces those of us who follow the word of G-d to accept sin as natural and normal.

Yes, we do. For example, when we vote on something we have a right to say yea or nay on the ballot based on any reason we have to either be in favor of it or oppose it. It's called Democracy.

So you are an ancient Israelite transported through time travel to modern day society?

Love is love. The 1,000+ legal benefits allowed to straight married couples but not to gay married couples in most states are also what they are.

Why do you want to make gay couples second-class citizens? That's unAmerican.

As for your silly predictions, pfffft. Just because Christians have "forced themselves into every facet of society" doesn't mean everyone else is just as ignorant.

Even if he did … it has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. We noticed that you've got nothing else to contribute and we feel sorry for you.

That relates to Arkansas gay marriage … how, exactly? I couldn't care less what Obama thinks and probably neither do Arkansas gay couples.

You're really lost here, aren't you?
