All of us should aspire to be as genuine, honest, and patriotic as this wonderful gentleman.

This vet is shattering stereotypes and taking names! As a straight man, I understand what it's like to come from a different perspective on this issue, and he certainly understands that denying rights for a certain percentage of the population is exactly what this country did during 19th century. It is our obligation as straight men and women to support our homosexual brothers and sisters. If they take away the rights of our brethren, it won't be long until those bigots take away ours.

incest and polygamy are two different subjects than homosexuality
to compare or even bring them into an argument against gay marriage is wrong

There is no logical reason to be against gay marriage.

NB: I looked it up. Not all placement agencies are funded by the state; you are correct there.

But all adoptions are a function of the state judiciary. The main thrust of my point remains the same. This is very much a matter of sep of church and state, with all anti-discr laws applying to gov functions, and with the slippery slope I've described a very real danger should special dispensations be given to the CC when it serves the gov.

(cont) Children who opt out of the curriculum would imho become unattractive to colleges and employers because most uni's and emps value those who understand sci and can tolerate diversity and have a full secular public education etc.

I think parents would end up choosing to let their kids stay, just as most parents take a sick child to doctors who believe in evolutionary biology, even if the parent thinks that evo is wrong.

But edu should be the par's choice in the end imho. Now g'bye.

(cont) And I should point out that when i say "There is nothing icky or illegal or immoral or unequal about gay in Mass" I mean that is in the eyes of the law.

Churches and individuals are of course free to believe what they like about sky-god and morality and to speak their mind, etc. That was never in question and never should be.

Mass led the way in so many things in our history and now it does again. Yay!

Again the last word (or words to be fair lol) are yours. NOW g'bye.
