Okay, if no one else will, I will. Here's the information about the bill. Call your Senator and till him or her to support this bill . . . Do this NOW, before this reprehensible gay marriage law is allowed to go into effect because of Congress' inaction!

No one is stopping gays from getting married. They can show up and get license to marry. What that law does NOT provide for, is special treatment or exceptions for sexual addictions.

And yet SSMers want gayness to be the trump card for special treatment among the nonmarriage category of relationships and arrangements.

What makes the gay type of relationship more worthy of special treatment than, say, the non-gay mom-daughter relationship or the non-gay polygamous relationship? The hardline SSMer can not differentiate SSM from nonmarriage but the emphasis on gayness is all he really has to offer.

Protection equality among the nonmarriage catetegory means no favoritism for the gay identity group.

Showing special treatment for gayness is unconstitutional.

The 14th Amendment guarantees all citizens, even gay ones, of equal protection.

We must let voters decide in DC. Also a bill was suppressed in Maryland that keep gay marriages in other states legitimate in Maryland.
We need a email campaign for Maryland.

Cleary the homosexual agenda aims to destroy religious freedoms, and democracy by ignoring the will of the people to govern. The 1st amendment is under attack by radical homosexuals, we must protect our first amendment constitutional guarantees before its too late. Support NOM, protect marriage and save our children.

Chuck Anziulewicz, the blogpost is about the DC attempt to impose SSM against the wishes of the people of DC.

Got anything of substance to say on that particular topic?

It's about time people in the nation's capital were allowed to go through the democratic process. Anything that affects society on such a large scale that cannot be voted on to decide if it's moral or not is definitely a threat to our system of government.

Exactly how is allowing Gay couples the exact same legal benefits and responsibilities that Straight couples have always taken for granted going to affect 'traditional marriage?" Marriage equality for Gay couples will have precisely ZERO impact on anyone's life, marriage, church, and children. Churches will never be forced to marry Gay couples, any more than they are forced to marry non-Christian couples. Public schools will not be forced to “teach” about Gay marriage, any more than they are forced to teach about Straight marriage.

Instead, Bob Bennett should ask himself why law-abiding, taxpaying Gay Americans should be forced to subsidize all the legal benefits and responsibilities that Straight couples enjoy, when we are unable to take advantage of those same incentives to marry? And since when do Straight voters get to decide that the rights that they enjoy DO NOT apply to Gays?
