I'm just genuinly courous how you are going to attempt to justify legal discrimation based on gender.  The most vile and powerful lawyers in the country couldn't do it either.  Which is why the expensive largely Mormon sponsored, Prop 8, was ruled unconstutional twice, in Federal court and that ruling put into full effect by the US Supreme Court.  And since that ruling, many more states have added Same Sex Marriage to their laws.

...what? Where have I tried to justify anything? ALso, where have i mentioned Prop 8? Which was btw, (voted in by THE PEOPLE). Why are you so desperatly trying to turn this into a debate on whether or not queer marrige is right or wrong? So you use words 'bigots' and 'vile' 10 times per post? Im not biting, so please just give up.

I have not in any way attaked Christanity.  Many if not most Christians and many of the Christian Churches support same sex marriage as a part of their holy sacraments.  Christ personaly never said a single word against it.  So I don't have any idea why you are trying to make stuff up against it or me.

Fair enough, i was too quick to judge, I apologize.

DOMA, which I refer to the Discrimation Of Marriage Act

Oh, snap!

 was acutally ruled in part as a direct violation of the US Consitution this summer.  Perpapse you missed it.  Marriage wither same sex or oppisite sex is federally recogized in the USA.  These old strange gender decimation laws, like the one in Utah, are just taking a while to get cleared off the books. 

I am not ver knowledgeable about US law, but seeing as how 30+ states dont recognize gay marrige, I dont see how federalism is going to change things in the grand scale.

Mormons have done far more to hold back civil rights, not just of gays, but also women, people of colour, than any other single religious group.  It's probably while, until fairly recently, it was legal to kill one in Missouri. (Not that I am saying it's a good thing to go killing people, but it was the law.  Sure bet they wanted a 'liberal activist judge' to rule that illegal.)

I was talking more about individual Mormons rather than institutional level/standing  of the church. LDS institution was mostly racist back than, as were most institutions in US, not just religious ones. But there were doznes of members that spoke and preached against it.

Your dismissing of their vile attempt to erase and rewrite history regarding Ann Frank for their own agenda is telling. They have also attempted the same with the Founding Fathers, yet it has failed.  Not a single Founding Father of the USA was Mormon.

Well, to be fair, gay lobby also tried to twist the history to promote their agenda, since they constantly try to make connections with Ancient Greek civilization and make it look like they were accepting of it, instead of being fiercly against it.

So, just curious, why do you hate gay people so much?  Has one done something to you?

...seriously??? Still?? I knew you were gonna go this route eventually. You people are insanely predictable. A day cant passn without you calling someone out on hatred.  Is this like one of your own 10 commandments?
