Re: The Unfortunat California Ruling
by progressivebulldog

I'm sorry but this is a really stupid argument. Yes sex is a private matter. Straight people generally don't have sex in public either but what in the heck does that have to do with marriage.

Of course it's not until the end of the post that we find the real reason for your objection-"Biblical reasons." I have news for you. Not everyone in this country is a christian and even those that are do not all agree on denying rights to gays.

Freedom of religion means that you canot be forced to have gay marriages in your church. It does not mean that you can deny equal rights to marry elesewhere because of your personal views.

Relgion is, after all, a private matter and not a basis for laws that affect us all.
