I'm sure this will generate some spriited debate. My perspective. First off I'm not gay. I married my wife last Oct and we've been together for a good 10 years prior to that. My religion, and my wife's, would best be defined as paganism. What this means in it's most basic definition is that I do not believe in the concept of God as defined by the Judeo/Christian bible. It is a more natue oriented polytheistic concept, is most definitely NOT satanism, and the big rule in the religion is basically do unto others as you would want to do to you. I am paraphrasing from the bible, but the golden rule is in many religious philosophies. Following through on this philosophy I don't see how 2 folks who love each other, and in some cases have been together for decades, should be denied getting legally married. I do not think that the government should be defining what a marriage constitutes based on tradition and the philosophy of popular religion. Doesn't this go against the First Ammendment....freedom of religion. As I'm sure most folks on this board are very Ammendment aware ( as in the Second Ammendment), I would think that this would be a serious sticking point with a lot folks around here regardless of your religious view point.
Ok, the flame is fitted and ready to go
