This gay-marraige Constitutional Amendment is not Christian [View All]

[x-g.o.p.er]

I think this proposed amendment that would ban gay marriage flies in the face of Christianity. The hypocrisy of the fundamentalists has never shown brighter. Judge not lest you be judged, love your neighbor, do unto others as you would have others do unto you are just rolling through my head for no particular reason...

I am an avowed heterosexual, and have been married to my wife for almost fifteen years, but for the life of me, I can't see how this is detrimental to me in any way, shape, or form.

There are also two core political isues at stake: personal freedom and individual/states rights. I think it's funny that "the party of small government", (the same party that claims to want to scale back the role of federal government in every day life) wants to impose, through a constitutional amendment no less, a law that should be decided by individual states.

I also find it ironic that the party that touts itself the "champion of individual freedoms" would deny those same freedoms to a small group of people...who are just as much American as I am. Wasn't the purpose of a representative republic to prevent this very thing from happening?

If this amendment gets passed, and a certain group of people can be individually marginalized by fiat, then who's to say another group couldn't be?

I weep for the future.....
