How does same gender marriage hurt you?

[Jacqui]

Frist of all , I am a Christian and I am a member of a non-denominational church. I am curious about your commitment ceremony. Do you mean that you were committed to each other in a ceremony at your church, or were committed as members of the church? As a Christian I beleive that the Bible is the infallable word of God. If your pastor and your church endorsed, provided venue, or conducted a same sex ceremony, then they stand in direct oppostition to God's word. This would seem a difficult position for a Christian church. I support your right to love whomever you please and be happy. I support your right to provide for the stability of your family. I do not support the dilution of very concrete Christian mandates to appease the needs of the world.

Diane and I were married (legally) in a Christian Church by a pastor and congregation that agreed that there was nothing wrong with it. I suppose there are those that disagree, but everyone concerned with our marriage is happy.

I think, IMHO, that people should go back and reread all of the Bible and not just the parts that they want to, things may become clearer.

Steve, Moderators: I realize this post may get me in trouble, but it needed to be said.

What is scary are some of these right winged columns. Truth is, if the Human Rights Board feels that any accusation is false, then they can turn it down. People have to have the right to have a formal board to complain to. While some will make false claims and take advantage of the process, the consequences of not having a source has its own flaws.

This is why the US has a similar process where you can claim that people are being unAmerican.

Do you have any way of helping me know what "similar process" you are referring to?

This "right wing" column was written by a fellow countryman of yours. Maybe he thinks too much like an American for your liking?

During Fahrenheit 9/11, a pacifist group was chronicled who were reported for being "anti-American." I think they were reported to the FBI who investigated them.

And yes, we do have right wingers in Canada. Everyone is free to have their opinion, but some are more believable than others.

Several Anti-War groups have also been "investigated" including my own group. Fortunately they thought we were just a bunch of drunk Vietnam vets.

Don't know about the truth of this but Right wing egotist, Michael Savage reported a week or two ago, that one could be arrested in Canada for giving anti-muslem speachs.

Not true. Someone reported McClains magazine for doing such, and it got refused. That is where Mr. Savage probably twisted his story from.

[Grubendol]

If Savage is saying something, you can pretty much assume that it's a lie or a twisting of facts to suit his hate-filled agenda.

Your source is a Michael Moore movie? Are you writing farce here?

I swear, it does not matter what I write, because you will just continue to have a preconceived expectation and not try to understand it.

I never said we do not have freedom of speech or that I was against it. Everyone has the right to speak their opinion.

he is as believable as the right winged columns you have been showing me.

Plus, Jackie said that she knew of people and included herself. I believe that Jackie is a reasonable source.

Scary what some will do to trample everyone's free speech rights to promote some's sexual rights.

It's scarier what some will do to people who don't think like they do.

Stonewall
I like this:

On April 21, 1966, members of the Society staged a "sip-in" at Julius Bar a block northeast of Stonewall challenging a New York State Liquor Authority rule that said homosexuals should not be served alcohol because they are considered "disorderly."

Scary what some will do to persecute people who don't agree with them.
