Democrats Introduce Bill to Ban ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’ as ‘Anti-Gay’ Words
The words husband and wife were deleted from California state law last year in order to accommodate same sex marriage.

Most gay people have no idea how they have been used as a political tool. It's pretty sad actually. Hopefully, as this progresses, more will awaken to that fact and begin to question their paradigms.Sirocco wrote:...That makes no sense, gay people use those too.

I strongly support the notion of religious toleration. However, as an American citizen, I feel compelled to proclaim that my Christian religion formed the backbone of the creation of this nation. I make no apologies for this statement, because it is true. All first year law students learn that the 10 Commandments form the foundation for our legal code. Subsequently, as I acknowledge the validity of religious toleration as a societal ideal, I will not, and cannot accept the ongoing attacks on the dominant culture and its native and dominant religion by fundamental extremists representing views which run contrary to the dominant culture. We must not acquiesce to the will of the minority. We can honor toleration without sacrificing our national identity.

So many people claim to speak for me, but never do they wish to hear what I have to say.

You and 90% of the population feel this way. We are the silent majority. Unfortunately, the 10% have hijacked this great nation and have done a great job at silencing the majority with their SOP buzzwords like "racist" "bigot" "homophobe" etc etc.Bgood wrote:I strongly support the notion of religious toleration.

Like everything some people can go too far, while I agree with a lot of it I do think they go too far at times, like any person.Nebguy wrote:You and 90% of the population feel this way.

Both sides go too far, neither want to agree on anything, find peace and live side by side. Just snuff out the other from existence.
