More Ignorance and Rhetoric from the Right

I ran across a post on the Napa Valley Register entitled “Separate and Not Equal”.  There are some typical, yet great points brought up about how a ban on gay marriage goes against the moral fabric of this nation.  The first three points the author mentions are;

1)  In a country founded on the separation of church and state, objections fueled by religious beliefs were allowed to alter the state constitution. Marriage is a civil right, transcending religious differences and definitions; it is not church property.

2) The California Supreme Court, created to impartially legislate ethical issues,  granted me the right to marry, then permitted this right to be taken away by a popular vote.

3)  Churches that sanction polygamy and harbor pedophiles are passing judgment on gay marriage.

It is not so much a religious issue as it is a moral issue. Fortunately, most traditional religions around the world still regard morality (sodomy is not moral) as an important facet to living a godly life. Again, it’s not necessarily a religious issue.

In a 4-3 vote a few humans on the state supreme court that fortunately millions of us were able to correct in yet another vote by a majority in ensuring a tradition that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years remained intact.

The only churches that might “sanction polygamy and harbor pedophiles” are the same churches allowing gays to marry.

You can move to a state that permits gay marriage. There are a few states that have lost their moral compass. You whine about demanding we, the majority, accept immoral behavior but it’s not fair that we, the majority prefer a to keep your sexual preferences and the bedroom out of our lives.

Children of same sex parents have nobody but their parents to blame for how they may be treated. The hate, intolerance and ignorance is coming from you and the NO crowd who don’t understand that this world lives to a higher standard, and that morality forms the base for how we should live. I know that’s a foreign concept to you.

Then there are those who claim not to be against it, but simply are obviously too busy to worry about other peoples rights;

Didn’t gay marriage get voted down, then made legal by the state overturning the vote, then voted down again for a second time.I could really care less but am tired of hearing about it.The voters have spoken…Twice!

When Barack Obama was elected, Whoopi Goldberg said “I have always felt like an American, but I finally feel like I can set my suitcase down.”  Unfortunately, because of so many Americans who let thier ignorance, bigotry and hate rule their safe and for granted lives, I’m still waiting to set my suitcase down.

The Hate and Ignorance of the Religious Right

The following is from blpurdom.com.  THIS IS A HATE CRIME!

USJF is the ONLY group that has a suit going on right now that has the legal ability to invalidate all homosexual “marriage” licenses in the state. We’ve got a strong case, because it’s not about whether the California Supreme Court violated the state constitution or the statutes — it’s all about whether the state of California must follow its own laws. Those laws require that the PEOPLE must have the right to review any new marriage license…

…But the bureaucrats said NO! They tried to ignore the law and force Californians to accept a pro-homosexual marriage license — but we’re fighting them!

WE CAN WIN THIS CASE — IF WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO FOLLOW IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH!

Debate Over Gay Marriage & Ignorance Builds

Just watch the video below of people demonstrating in support of Proposition 8 which would again ban gay marriage in California. Just when you think you’re becoming used to the abounding ignorance and hate which have consumed the lives of those against gay marriage, another slap in the face wakes you up and shows you how far from equal we really are.
