stop comparing gay marriage and acceptance to race, only gay stuff is documented as wrong

[Anonymous]

I think people have a right to live their lives as they choose. If they don't want to make wedding cakes for gay weddings, then they shouldn't have to. However, they should be encouraged to post it on their door just like the NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE.

That way everyone knows before they enter the store what the deal is. Of course, they will go out of business, but that's their right. The marketplace will take care of those people much more effectively than any law could.

Most Americans are against gay marriage. Gays have largely won it thru the Courts. Good for them. Now the minority wants to club the majority into baking cakes and taking pictures of their "marriages."

What a charade. Marriage has been between a man and a woman since the dawn of time.

Please tell me where you got the impression that "Most Americans" are against gay marriage?

That is not remotely true. You might want to do a bit of Googling to broaden your knowledge base.

Maybe "history of marriage" for a start.

The issue is not legality nor morality, but rather empathy. Can you not imagine the emotions you have for your loved ones in the hearts and minds of others? I happen to love my husband and my daughter but if she came home with a wife that she loved, you "darn betya" I would be thrilled that my DD found love and happiness. You want to objectify by labeling people as "them" but "they" could be very close to home.

I did that and I don't see anything particularly relevant- would you kindly provide some links? Seriously I would appreciate it and I will read them. Thanks

You CAN live however you want, and everyone else should be able to as well.

NO ONE is suddenly going to start forcing heterosexual people into homosexual marriages, or even deny heterosexuals the right to continue to enjoy the exact same marriage rights they currently have for their heterosexual unions. This isn't even about forcing religious institutions to perform marriages they don't believe in, it's about recognition of marriage under the (secular!) law. If you can choose who you marry, so should everyone else. Your rights are not diminished by giving someone else the same rights.

You want to force a Christian to photograph your wedding? Why would you want to do that, I just don't understand. There are plenty of photographers who would be happy to do it, and you want to pick on some Christian and force him to do it (or pay fines)? I don't understand the desire to compel folks. Do you feel that you are legitimized by this punishment?

First its the baker and photographer..... Then they'll come after the Catholic Church. As Malachi Martin said, in the end Christians will be hunted like dogs.

Viva Cristo Rey!

You've got me scratching my head- I see some antecedents for polygamy but not really for gay marriage....
