If we are endowed by our Creator with rights, then why shouldn't those be attainable by Gays and Lesbians?

Simply put, if The Lord made homosexuals as well as heterosexuals, why should I discriminate against their civil marriage? I shouldn't, and I won't.

So I will add my name to the petition of senators asking the Supreme Court to declare the law that prohibits gay marriage unconstitutional

The six remaining Democrats are:

Tim Johnson (S.D.)
Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.)
Mary Landrieu (La.)
Joe Donnelly (Ind.)
Joe Manchin (W. Va.)
Mark Pryor (Ark.)

1. Yesssss!

Awesome!

I called his office a couple days ago and left a message.

Glad to see another one on the good side.

2. He's also the 51st Senator to do it - majority! n/t

3. Awesome!

Now maybe my gay friends will invite me to some weddings.

4. I think we will have one more person come forward

and that is Landrieu I think the rest will likely keep to their views with Johnson retiring.

5. I think there might be a one more

Tim Johnson is retiring so it would not really hurt him.

6. someone said his son is going to run for his seat which might explain

his lack of support even though he is retiring.
