I say we forget our illogical biases (sexual orientation, sexual preferences, race, etc.) and create some new totally outlandish reasons to discriminate.

Humanity has already been doing that for years. All one has to do is look at what the Belgians did in Rwanda with the creation of the Tutsi caste to see an example of illogical biases at work.

I doubt I will ever understand why people care so much about what others do in their free time or in their bedroom. Today, it's gay people. Tomorrow, who knows? Could be me.

One thing I do respect though is the church's ability to protest gay unions. While I don't agree with it, any infringement on church rights should be respected when (not if) homosexuals are granted the same rights as the rest of us. No church should be forced to accept something they believe to be fundamentally wrong (no matter how fiercely I disagree with them on it).

 

I have to say you hit the nail on the head, in doing so a Church should have full right to turn the couple away if they want to get married, it might not glamorus but getting married by a judge is all the same. 

Now to add to this thread in the best way I know how.  "Help a gay, eat a congressman"

(honestly my personal opinion I don't see how anyone could be gay as women are great :D and men... well stink and particually disgusting myself included)
