God is against this? I can understand your repulsion at the homosexual act, even gay people may have been repulsed at first, as this is due to our environment and upbringing. To use your rhetoric why would God create something he can't stand? I wish you would question yourself about God and the part he is MADE to play in our society, I wish you would be less gullible. People told you God was against it, God never told YOU, you're just echoing what power hungry church leaders are pushing down your throat. I can only hope that you would think for yourself without influence. @linda:

As for the knights of the temple you're totally off. The order was put off by pope whatchamacallit on the insistence of the king of France Philippe Le Bel and they were burnt at the stake, the accusation was homosexuality this happened in the 1300's. I'm very happy VT joined the club and more states will follow suit in the near future, but "We won, we won, we won" sounds too much like soccer fans and I don't have time for these. @tricky ricky: Many hetero people support the LGBT movement as for those who don’t (the older generations) they need things explained to them not thrown in their faces.

Conservatism is an unholy alliance between religion and the body politic which sets itself up for failure due to its absolutism and its claim that it cannot fail. Yet all it has done is fail, and fail, and fail. It is just like communism, but with God. pass it on. it is why the times are changing. it is getting to the point where their screaming is going to do them in royally. it is all part of a bigger picture. there are people out there that might not like gays but are going to get fed up with the specious hateful arguments against gays. they will realize the utter stupidity of it. and they will join our side. they will still not like the gays, but who cares if they don't hurt you. we are allowed outr own personal private bigotries. we just learn to keep them to ourselves and not act like eric cartman. although i do so hate hippies, midgets and ginger kids. especially hippy midget ginger kids. damn i almost feel good. look at the big picture and all the news. the vatican is spreading lies about the shroud of turin. they are saying it is older than it actually is and using the knights templar to do it. we won. we won. we won. damned activist legislators! how dare they create a law which grants equal rights to a minority without a court telling them to! how dare they go against a governor who said second best is good enough during their debate?

"the bill passed by the both branches of the legislature"?? "10:30 am this morning"?? As opposed to 10:30 am this afternoon?? "The bill passed the House last week by a vote of 95-52. For the House to override Douglas' veto, they must get a two-thirds majority, which means 100 votes, just five shy of the original vote." Actually, 100 votes is NOT just 5 shy of 95. 95 is just 5 shy of 100. "but here are where we think..." Here ARE? I do not readed the rest of this that there piece due two the ridiciuoius ammmount of errorrs in it. More bad grammar!
