I think its good that we have one more sane state, one of only 2 in the entire 50. Washington will probably be overturning its law in the next coupe of years since Seattle has the second largest gay population in the country (closely following San Francisco.)

What they do isn't hurting anyone and Love, that is a word described as a bonding between two individuals who care for eachother. If they are the same sex then people, especially the super religious who condemn such people, should get over it. This isn't hurting anyone at all. I find it hard to believe that some extreme Christian groups have actually stated that "gays are worse than terrorists."

Gays didn't kill lots of people and blow up buildings. They aren't hell bent on taking over the world. They just want to live life and be accepted at least to a certain extent.

I hope the rest of this country and eventually the world can follow this trend, we are all people and we all want to live life the way we want to. As long as we aren't hurting or killing others in our life aspirations then I say, more power to you.

Who would be okay with gays anyway, **Bleep**s are just wrong. I'm sorry, but only how I feel.

Not all religious people condemn homosexuals. And not all people who don't believe in religion agree with homosexuality. These are two common misconceptions. Only the extremists condemn them and the only reason it seems most religious people are extreme is because they're the only ones you see in the media. To Christians a sin is a sin and homosexualism is no worse than lying. However, they also don't judge because it is not their right to. This is the true belief of the faith, so I can see how someone wouldn't understand it if they didn't really know the religion.

I'd like to know why when a state disagrees with you it's not sane? So what if they don't agree with gay marriage, why pin a label on them? It's their opinion and you should respect it and not say "Oh I'm right and they're wrong", because in doing so you are doing the same thing as an extremist that condemns homosexuals.

Notice how I said Extremely Over Religious "super" anti everythings.

I know that a good amount of religious people don't mind it too much since I have a few religious friends who aren't for or against homosexuality.

I also know that there are people from every religion, including the non-aligned Agnostics and Atheists, that do not want gay marriage legalized, I just focus on the religious radicals because they are more open about it. Protesting outside of soldier's funerals calling the Iraq war "Gods punishment for us allowing gays" among other things.


I use the word "sane" in a term where people are not really breaking the law yet they are getting laws and sanctions put on them. When a state blocks a right to marriage, whether straight or gay, it is more often than not religion getting in politics. In my opinion religion does not belong in politics at all even though I know it always will be. I could understand if there was a valid reason for blocking it, yet there is none outside of faith.

The Extremists which oppose use religion and its beliefs/ teachings as their backing to anti-gay marriage protesting. You can call me an extremist that supports free rights in a free country, I would be more than happy to bare such a title. I however, consider myself a supporter but nothing more major than that, I use the truth and common sense in my arguments, nothing to "extreme" in what I say.

And it is very true that the Bible has more holes than swiss cheese.
