That is not what is unequal about discrimination towards gays having the right to marry. And in this country you are free to believe anything you want, however, your are not free to discriminate based on those beliefs,

So why do we make polygamy and incestuous marriage illegal?

And why does every thread end up here??





nor are you able to decide for another human being outside of your body, whether or not they have to become a parent. It just so happens that those things are rights given to us in our Constitution, and there aren't any amendments to change that. A church can choose to marry gays or not, that is their business. But a legal marriage recognised by the state, should be allowed. That it is illegal seems unconstitutional to me.

So you folks who hate that women are allowed to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester are trying to cram your beliefs down other people's throats. You have no right to decide what is right for another person's life, a person that you don't even know. And with the gay marriage issue, what two people do in their own lives that has no effect on your life whatsoever, is not your business. If they decide to marry and are permitted to, what difference does that make in your life. You are infringing on something that requires nothing of you and has no impact on your life. As I said, believe whatever you like, but you cannot make others believe the same and live by your beliefs. Abortion is a woman's decision, the one who would have to carry and bring the child into the world. You have no place in deciding her future, and it is arrogant and presumptive for you to think that you know better then she, what is right for her life. And if you aren't gay, you have absolutely no idea what living a gay life is like. Therefore, you cannot judge. If you do, it is an implication of ignorance. And it goes against some very good advice, "Judge not, lest ye be judged", to paraphrase it.

So why do we judge pedophiles?
