[Sean]

The thread of the postings that are opposed to gay marriage all seem to take the same general tack: that homosexuality is wrong and therefore not to be encouraged. This equating of [im]morality with [il]legality is the basis for the vast majority of the civil rights abuses that have faced our country in its history. Despite the deist proclamations on our currency, in our Pledge of Allegiance, and other token nods to religion in our country’s ceremonies, there IS a separation of church and state here. Ideally, our laws are based on nothing more than what best serves society….NOT on what we believe is moral, no matter what ourt morals are based on. I am straight and married. I was raised a Lutheran, believing that homosexuality was a sin. But this does not mean I should force my beliefs on others, by law or any other means. One last note: I’ve heard several arguments that say that (at least here in California) gay people already have the ability to form a Domestic Partnership, which is essentially the same as marriage. To that, I say: didn’t ‘separate but equal’ go out the window with Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka?
