Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
"""Why the hell would a gay couple go to a Pentecostal church and demand to get married!?? LOL!"


    Okay, say the first gay couple goes to a Methodist Church to get married, and the folks there, worried about their tax-exempt status agree to go though with it.
    That, of course, sets a precedent, and a second couple goes to a Pentecostal Church. ""


Since they are campaigning for the legal right to civil marriage, what the hell has any church got to do with it.

The various churches can currently turn away adherents of other faiths, so why would they have a problem with refusing gay couples.

This fight is about CIVIL LAW, and the right to be treated equably under THAT law.


Little Hawk, I'll do a deal with you. You follow YOUR precepts about judgement, and I'll stick to mine as follows:-

If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and spends most of its time in the pond with the ducks, I will judge it to be a F**kin' DUCK, and I will call it that.
