"Mass. Decision Encourages Federal Marriage Amendment Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - Tuesday's decision by Massachusetts' highest court, paving the way for homosexual couples to be recognized as legally "married" in that state, could provide the impetus needed for passage of a federal constitutional amendment that would legally define marriage and render the courts powerless to change that definition. Full Story"
Hmmm, I wonder what THEIR definition of marraige is....

Nice post bear..... Who does decide what is "moral" ? Christanity? Here's my take. Just live and let live, why are we ( Americans) consistantly in peoples bedrooms all of the time? What would be so horrible about letting two people who love each other be together? Very well put Jlew. çó

I hope that one day all gay marriages are legal in every state in the country. Unfortunately, that probably won't happen for a long time. I just think that its none of the government's business who loves who. I mean, God made us how we are, so if someone is gay it is because God made them that way. I just think that its noone's business what someone does in the privacy of their homes.

Anyone who wants to live in a country governed by a single religion has many places to go. Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Taliban-controlled sectors of Afghanistan, etc.
The United States of America was founded by men who had a horror of religious intolerance and persecution. They specifically set up our government as a SECULAR one. Recognizing no religion as pre-eminent.
Now, if there are any anti-Americans who want to go against the Founding Fathers, I say they can just move to China with all the other commie pinko anti-Americans.

So what if I was a religion that didn't believe in god, would that mean my marriage wouldn't be recognized?
