So? They're leeches on society who ought to go get productive jobs.
Civil servants?

No, the clergy.
Because that was a perfect definition for politicians..lol
I'm not really religious nor do I particularly think about organized religions. I think they're too much into dogma and appearance but otherwise they don't bother me.
What's not established is whether "separate but equal" applies here.Hardly. There's already a perfectly acceptable word in use, we've established that "separate but equal" is an unacceptable concept in this country, therefore they ought to use the word we already have to refer to an equivalent thing.

And if we're not going to recognize gay relationships as marriages?If we're going to give gays equal rights to marry, there's no rational reason not to give them access to the same word that heterosexuals use. "Separate but equal" should never apply to anything in the United States, only true equality should.

Sry not following you. You quoted my question.no one can force anyone to have an opinion, what's your question?

That's my point. Unless the church wants to abide by anti-discrimination laws (which might contradict their core beliefs), then they should forfeit their legal authority to authorize/confirm/validate a state-recognized marriage.
If this becomes the case gays are welcome to form their own non-profit churches and perform their own weddings. Besides, you don't have to go to church to get married anyway.
adding a question mark to an incomplete sentence doesn't really turn it into a question.
More likely it's the people calling others "idiots," "retards," and "freaks" that are standing in the way - no matter what side of the argument they're on.I don't think there's any chance in hell that's going to happen now, once the ball starts rolling, and it's rolling really fast now, there's no stopping it. Only the idiots and the religious retards are standing in the way and I hope it runs all of those freaks over.
Gays have to understand that not everyone is ''OK'' with it..
Yet the second anyone says anything negative about the religious, they go screaming and whining that they're being discriminated against.
I love your avatar(sorry for change of subject)..but I had a pet lion once..
My mother had a pet bobcat growing up. While I'm glad people are largely not allowed to do that these days, there are one or two big cats I'd love to have as a pet.
Nope.
100% for gay marriages.
100% against forcing anyone to perform the ceremony.
