Gay Marriage Debate Resumes in MA...


Mass. Legislature Gathers for Third Convention on Gay Marriage

here's where the anti-gay groups go wrong:

"I'm just here to support Christ," said Olivia Long, 32, of Boston, a parishioner at New Covenant Christian Church. "We love all people, but we want to keep it like it was in the beginning."

okay people. We don't lobby the Legislature to support Christ. We have separation of church and state, remember?

When the lobby of the legislature becomes a shouting match between "Jesus Christ" and "Equal Rights" -- the anti-gay groups are making the case for allowing gay-marriage.

besides, Jesus never said homosexuality was a sin. People seriously don't read their gospels. If I remember correctly, he loved prostitutes, lepers, and every other unfortunate soul. Prostitutes were stoned to death, lepers were cast out.

The gospels don't say anything about what to do with gays -- if anything it is for g-d to worry about (after all, he made them the way they are). No one has the right to say definitively what g-d thinks about homosexuals.

Regardless of what some religions think of homosexuality, religiously-based homophobia cannot and should not be codified -- it is unconstitutional for the Legislature to pass a law that ESTABLISHES a religious doctrine -- including "homosexuality is wrong".

I wish the gay marriage supporters would get out there and focus the issue on the rights of the children of homosexual families to have both parents married so that each parent can make decisions about the child's welfare. This is where the true injustice lies.
