		<description>Hey, Tiger:

I&#039;m conflicted about it. You all are always amazing about jumping on the homophobes - on the other hand, I don&#039;t want gay people to have to slog through verbal violence. This is a site for us, not for them....

I tend to leave them up when there&#039;s SOME sort of argument behind it (maybe they can be educated!) and take them down when they&#039;re clearly just gay bashing (or I miss it!). But it&#039;s not an exact science, to be sure.

		<description>I deleted Martin&#039;s post. Yikes. Sorry I didn&#039;t catch that sooner, friends. I left Jay&#039;s, because it seemed borderline and the arguments against it were good....</description>

    *
Just say no to “Fag” marriage. We did here in California. They are disgusting and are no different than pedophiles.

Well, another IGNORANT homophobe heard from.  Your failure to check the statistics on pedophilia prior to opening your mouth and issuing your unfounded opinion is very apparent.</description>

		<description>You can believe that the Right Wing Religious Charlatans will be working to prevent the passage.

Religion is a study in Hypocrisy.  One of the purposes of organized religious institutions is to promote terror, hate, bigotry, prejudice, intolerance to anything other than their abhorrence.  Religion demands complete control of their members mind, thoughts, beliefs, and judgment.  

Through Fear and Deception religion Legislates and Legalizes Discrimination and prevent Legislation that would give  Equal Rights.  Just assess what happened in California with Prop 8!</description>

		<description>Jay... &quot;We must &#039;sue&#039; for polygamist marriage and allowing marriage of siblings&quot;????????????????

By &quot;We&quot;, I assume you are referring to yourself ??? ... I do believe that the Federal &amp; State Courts have already weighed in, and set precident, on the illegality of both incest &amp; multiple wives, which pretty much makes your attempting to &quot;sue&quot; for marriage rights a rather moot point, and quite illegal. If you want to marry your sister, or mother, or marry multiple relatives or wives, same or opposite sex, it is a legal certainty that no amount of finger pointing against gay marriage will take the heat off of yourself on this one.  

First off, Gay marriage has been &#039;made&#039; illegal by DOMA, State Initiatives/Ballot Measures, &amp; Constitutional Ammendments, etc., as NO civil law that specifically defined marriage as between a man &amp; a woman has ever existed prior. 

Gay marriage is neither incest nor is it polygamy, and additionally, whether referring to a &quot;gay couple&quot; or a &quot;straight couple&quot;, it is the exact same marriage license either way. The actual marriage license does NOT grant rights of incest or polygamy, period ! Same applies to the other typically tiring arguments of beastiality or pedophile.</description>

That also describes many Catholic Priests, yet the Catholic Church along with The Church of Present-Day H8 were the largest contributors /supporters of H8.</description>
