It's discrimination to tell one group of people they can't do a certain thing which is offered to the rest of society based on sexual orientation.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-46925188782979101642009-05-05T18:58:00.000-05:002009-05-05T18:58:00.000-05:00Actually, anonymous, I deleted your comment becaus...Actually, anonymous, I deleted your comment because I think I made a bad choice by letting it through, since you basically equated same-sex marriage with murder/rape as things that should be legislated against.<br /><br />Can't believe I let that through.

In my last comment I said, "Same-sex couples cannot marry" when it would have been much more accurate to say it is not as easy for same-sex couples to marry due to marriage only being available to them in a few locales.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-23493185088261511322009-05-04T23:47:00.000-05:002009-05-04T23:47:00.000-05:00Same-sex couples cannot marry. You are suggesting ...Same-sex couples cannot marry. You are suggesting that they should be satisfied with the opportunity to marry someone of the opposite sex even though you clearly label them as <B>same-sex couples</B>. How nice of you to disregard their identities and claim that because they can have marriage your heterosexual way, they should be satisfied.<br /><br />And Perez Hilton was wrong for calling her a dumb bitch. That's messed up. But I do have a problem with Miss California trying to legislate her beliefs. It's perfectly fine for her to believe that same-sex marriage isn't right, but the fact that she is pushing to make it legislation is problematic.<br /><br />And because that is not pertinent to the original post, that is all I will be saying about that.
