I don't think that Gays should be discriminated against but like I said in the other thread. Let the people vote on the issue again. They had already voted against same sex marriage in the recent past. Lets see if the citizens have changed their minds on the issue. |
I really believe that while participation in gay behavior may be a choice, sexual preference is not. Still, unless gay behavior is harmful (no more so that heterosexual behavior) or sinful (a religious judgement - doesn't belong in secular government), why deny gays the same right to marriage as heteros? Will they be worse at it? Doubtful. Will it cheapen the institution of marriage? Hardly, if it allows lovers to solidify their devotion to one another.
