Quote:Why should there be a compromise?


Separate but equal has never worked. The only thing I think that should be conceded to Republicans is that churches should not be forced to perform ceremonies for gay weddings. That's up to the individual churches. I don't see a problem with that. Why is my friends wedding 'destroying the sanctity of marriage' while Newt's third marriage isn't? Or how about those vegas weddings where they've known someone for four hours?

If sexual orientation is passed as a protected discriminatory class churches will not be able to refuse homosexual weddings based on religious belief just like they can't refuse minority weddings based on religious belief.


The only way to fix it is to take away the governments role in marriage, meaning consenting adults are free to partner with whom they chose and private individuals are free to either participate or refuse service (bakeries , photographers, churches ect...) in the laws eyes it should all be the same.
