Up and down California, emotions ran high as the state's supreme court affirmed a voter approved ban on same sex marriages, but ruled gay couples that wed before the ballot could stay married. The AP's John Mone reports from Los Angeles. (May 27)
@Izlandzadi14 The law should just stay out of it! If there is a church willing to do the ceremony & sanction the marriage then so be it! It is between the couple, the church, & God. Gov't should stay the hell out of it!
@Dedhedted71 And, religious agendas should not be pushed either. The thing is, civil unions don't even give us the same benefits as marriage does, in some places (I don't beleive anywhere in the US, though) they do, but what if you want to call it marriage? You can't marry, but you can enter into a civil union. You can't sit here, you can sit there. That's what it feels like. Seperate but equal isn't fair.
@Dedhedted71 Normal people? Who says gays are trying to rewrite the bible? Most of us don't even CARE about the bible! You can believe what you want! What I'm saying is that civil rights should not be written by religion.
@myviews1 Well, not a gene, but there is evidence of hormones in the fetal development stage that can influence it, as well as environmental influences. Either way, how can homosexuals choose how the environment affects them, or what happened in the womb? And what results from this is an orientation exactly like heterosexuality except the opposite, it can't be merely behavioral. You're not just going to start having sex with the same sex if you weren't attracted to them in the first place.
Gay is wrong. I heard a republican say that you can pray the gay away.

@southboston7 Going back in the closet will not make us cease being gay or lesbian *facepalm*

@Dedhedted71 That is probably the best choice

@Nihawmah Umm...you know that's being transsexual, right? That has nothing to do with being gay.
