This is all about the freedom for two adults to marry the person they love. Clearly civil marriage only that does not involve churches at all. Opposition is religion based and has no place in the argument for a civil marriage.
ReplyDeleteIt does involve churches because they will be forced to do these even though biblically it's spoken against and they shouldn't have to. Gays now get upset when they are in churches that speak against being gay. They then want to sue the place and anyone that has something to say about it since their 'rights' or really them pushing themselves on others is questioned. churches shouldn't have to do that because gays feel that it's right. They should move somewhere else where it's accepted. Oh that's right, in other countries it's not allowed and you are killed for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the "Say NO" button. Someone needs to put that up.
ReplyDeleteNo Nicki, it is clearly stated in the bill that churches cannot be sued for refusing to perform same sex marriage. They even put it in the title (freedom of religion) to make it clear.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't believe in same sex marriage don't marry someone of the same sex. What right does your religion have to regulate how others live their lives?
