Your argument is fundamentally flawed, as the bible is fundamentally flawed. You begin by talking about respecting another's argument, but you completely contradict yourself within your own comment. If you respected others, you would acknowledge the fact that gay people want nothing more than to be treated fairly UNDER THE LAW. Nothing more, nothing less. The tired old saying of "gays want special rights" is just fear mongering, nothing more. Keep your religious beliefs out of OUR government.

What I love the best is that he could have just said "No, I won't co-sponsor the bill" but he took the time to say it so eloquently and show his support for equality for all citizens. Excellent speech! And ppolarski and others, you may believe whatever you want about what God does or does not recognize, but it has no place in making policy in a country founded on the concept of separation of church and state. And the reality is we use the word marriage as a legal term so it should belong to all.

Absolutely wonderful. His daughter is right too. The next generation does not care. I live in Massachusetts and no one raises an eyebrow on this very dead subject.

I believe the proper response to what happened there would be:

"Oh snap!"

Well done Senator!
