Brandon– they do have the same rights as everyone else already. The problem is they want to redefine marriage to be something it is not. It would be like calling the middle of Oklahoma the “coast” and the land along the ocean “prairie.” yiu could call them by those names but that calling wouldn’t change their reality. Things have a nature-based reason for their naming and no amount of wishful thinking or re-definition in the laws of the state will change that.

No, it destabilizes and destroys the country. But thanks for making your opinion known, at least we know which side you’re on in this war (hint: it’s not America’s or God’s side so you have some formidable opponents).

Thankfully, myself and other people my age understand that allowing gay couples to have the same civil rights as everyone else, doesn’t diminish our beliefs or our freedoms. It helps them.

I have never posted before, but I felt this was important. I wanted to thank this website for their coverage of this issue, and more importantly, the commenters. I have just written my bishops and priests and let them know that I will not be attending mass during this fortnight and have suspended my donations entirely for the foreseeable future. I just find it distasteful that something like a “fortnight for freedom” can be supported by an organization that has worked to eliminate freedoms for others. I used to support the bishops stance on marriage. I still believe they are right – in my beliefs. However, I too have realized that much of the objection to gay marriage is based on dislike for homosexuals or a desire to harm them. The prejudice and discrimination can no longer be overlooked. It is evident in the articles and comments on this very site, by our fellow Catholics. I have heard it after mass when the issue of marriage is discussed. I wished this wasn’t the case, but it is. We can’t continue to overlook the damage that we are doing to others when we use marriage as an excuse to prey on prejudice. I’m sorry, but I can’t support this. It’s dishonest and it’s hypocritical. Jesus taught us to lead by example. It’s about time that we start doing it. Thank you again.
