[quote=Anonymous][quote=NotSoAnonymous]Q: Are you tolerant about someone's religious views? 
Do you feel like everyone should accept how you live your life? 
Would you be okay with all gays being granted civil unions if they are allowed the same rights as marriage? 
If granted the right to marry, do you think churches should be forced to perform these ceremonies? 
How did you feel about the lesbian who was denied communion at her mother's funeral?

A: I am extremely tolerant of varied religious views until those views impinge on my rights as an American citizen.

I find your next question to be so odd. I don't spend my days looking at people around me and thinking about whether or not I accept their ways of life. I suppose you only need accept my right to the same respect, dignity, and set of rights as a citizen as yourself.

I believe civil unions are separate but equal. We tried that once. I would not be opposed to civil marriage for all and religious marriage for those churches which allow it. Churches are not currently forced to marry any two people who walk through their doors with a license. That should not change.

I think the communion thing is sad. It was her Mother's funeral. Who knows which other sinners were getting communion??  That said, I was raised Catholic and I have many friend and family who are Catholic. [/quote]

What I mean by my second question is: Do you think everyone should think homosexuality is ok? Are you okay with people having an opinion that differs (finds homosexuality wrong, sinful, etc)? Do you believe that not agreeing with homosexuality equals homophobia?

re: civil unions (not civil marriage) As it stands civil unions are not equal. My question is, IF laws are changed and civil unions are given the same recognition as marriage, would you be okay with that? [/quote]
