Comments about ‘Group countering Prop. 8 backers' ad’

To Roger,
If we were debating a law that would outlaw certain or all people from getting married you statement might make sense. However, if theCatholic Church wants clerical celibacy they can have it, and as long as they do not try to force it on the rest of us, than it is not a political issue.
However, if your reference is specifically to Matthew 19 than you clearly need to study the relationship of the Catholic church and divorce and the role Matthew 19 played in this.

That is the point, John, gays are not trying to force it on you.

I don't know where you got the idea that gays were trying to force "gay marriage" on anybody.

They want gay marriage to themselves.

same-sex marriage is a sin.
that is the whole issue.

Gay rights are not civil rights. Too many anti-8 people are crying "Violation of civil rights", but The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Title VII Section 703 (a) states that it is unlawful to discriminate any individual based on: Race, Color, National Origin, Religion, or Gender.

Sexual preference/orientation is not a civil right as defined by the Civil Rights act of 1964. Just to set the record straight.

Their are equal employment rights, in which sexual preference is mentioned, but it is not a civil right.

That having been said, the LDS church didn't break any laws by supporting Proposition 8. It asked people to vote, they got out the vote, and supported a cause legally and with class. I wish I could say the same thing of the "No on 8" side. Vandalizing churches, protests in front of mormon temples, hazing people trying to get to church, etc. A lot of that is illegal, and definitely classless.

Anyone looking for a classy and legal side to join in this argument can clearly see which side has taken the higher road.

Yes on 8.
