You said: "It is just the beginning assault on the traditional family structure by the gay community"

I was just wondering why it's apparently only the gay community that you take offense with when family values are being attacked?

One of the MAJOR movie networks, is presenting a month long agenda of gay movies, gay producers/director, etc. Special.

It's the liberal judges who make these immoral rulings, they will ruin this country if we vote them in. We'd better know WHO these judges are on the ballots and vote for the right ones from now on!

Which one of these fine traditions do you feel is threatened by homosexuals wanting to get married?

Maybe you missed it; Traditional Marriage not those that distort it or plan to distort it. I'm sure if we dug a little there would be people that would like to marry their dog but Traditional Marriage is the subject at hand.

You named all the marriages that Americans do not condone. We are speaking of traditional marriage of the Bible and the U.S.A. How dare you speak of homosexuals wanting to get married. Marriage is and always has been about a woman and a man, not two people of the same sex. Homosexuals can call their union by another name than marriage!!

Maybe we should start filing suit because someone uses the word partner. Don't you feel left out?

You mean the same Bible that offers advice on how to treat ones's slaves?

And what do you mean the Bible AND the U.S.A.?

Can you site what US law makes the Bible the official arbiter of morals in the US?

Gee, I don't know.

Do adulterers have a community?

Do people who work two jobs to buy more stuff while ignoring their children have an organization?
