Chip and Darris,
I respect both of you and your opinions tremendously and will fight to the death that you get to express them, but I want to ask a question. I am not directing it at you, but at the topic.
Could it be that people are uncomfortable with same sex marriage because they are uncomfortable with homosexuality or lesbianism? I was very uncomfortable with it and found that one of my best friends was and came to me years later after he "came out" and told me of the agony he went through trying to be what society told him he must be. That he must marry, have children, and live with that wife forever. He is now divorced, estranged from his children by a bitter wife, and ostracized from his parents.
My thing is why can't we accept that people don't love the way we consider "normal"? Why can't we agree to disagree and move on? Why do we have to continue the persecution and the hatred? In the words of Rodney King "can't we all just get along"?
I don't want to draw this comparison, but not too long ago we restricted another group and fought a war to abolish it. Do we want a war? Do we want to make people hide and be ashamed of who they are? I, personally, don't want to live in a world like that. I am a church going, card carrying Christian, but really strongly disagree with this stance.
So, Chip and Darris, let me have it!:shiner: I can take it.
