This is a very interesting topic, and I can see both sides of the fence. But Portia really brought it home for me in her argument about how this issue should have nothing to do with religion, but simply about civil rights and the equality of American citizans.

It's sad to think that this was actually legal in Utah before this passed. I do agree with you that there is a lot of hate on both sides, but it seems like either side does not care to listen the other. I personally enjoy hearing the opinions of both sides of the proposition. I think each make valid points. However, whenever I hear someone speak of marriage between two people as beautiful as this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lNeE4QEVSw) -Portia on the View- I want equal rights for everyone. <br /><br />2010 will be an interesting year. <br /><br />p.s. are you getting a PUPPY!?!? :)Kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151470065810360251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202422249170260328.post-37977610552865284552009-12-05T09:53:40.633-07:002009-12-05T09:53:40.633-07:00Separation of church and state has been the goal f...Separation of church and state has been the goal from the beginning sissy.

NONE of those attributes were shown by it's members who were the most passionate and vocal on the matter. Many members were, among other things, angry, intolerant, felt threatened and were/are driven by fear. It's ok to be passionate about your beliefs, but it's unacceptable when it turns into hate - and it was very hateful on both sides. Furthermore, the church shouldn't have to "endorse" a matter of the state for a measure to pass. It has no place in a secular court.Gold-Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962083974894219218noreply@blogger.com
