Supreme Court judges are smarter than your average american, so it's good news that at least some people in this country realize that denying civil rights to a minority is a violation of the Constitution of the U.S.

It's like school integration. The vast majority of people in the states with segregated schools were in favor of segregation. Nevertheless it denied the rights of black schoolchildren, who (regardless of how the racists felt about it) were citizens of these United States, and therefore entitled to attend the same schools that the little white citizens attended.

In this case, the Supreme Court of the state of Connecticut has recognized that its gay citizens are just that - citizens. As such they are entitled to the same rights of contract (and legally, marriage is a contract) as all other citizens.

That's bad news to folks who are more concerned about their testimonies for Christ than they are about assuaging the hurt feelings of homosexuals who think everybody has to be tolerant of their behavior.

problem is the so called "testimonies" to for Christ more like for the person's own ego, revolved around stopping other's people's rights..so say a civil union and partner benefits..

That's why we vote. My RIGHT to leave marriage defined as it always has been is not superseded by the rights of gays to redefine marriage.

Your theological view point should not interfere with the rights of others. Would you like it if the Jewish or Muslim folks of America tried to make it illegalf or you to buy bacon or sausage?

 

[Zaac]

Your theological view point should not interfere with the rights of others.

Neither should yours. Your view against my theological viewpoint is just as much of a theology as is mine.

Would you like it if the Jewish or Muslim folks of America tried to make it illegalf or you to buy bacon or sausage?

Let em try. There's enough of us bacon and sausage loving Americans to keep things just the way they are.

It's a non religious view point that those who want to marry or have a union should be able to do so...

But wouldn't it be going too far if the bacon and sausage loving Americans voted to make Kosher and Hallal meats illegal?

That "non-religious" viewpoint creates it's own religion with its own brand of theology.

 

[Zaac]

Why? If sausage loving Americans didn't want Kosher and Hallal meats to redefine what good ole sausgae is, why is it going to far?

Not really, it's simply common sense that a group of people should not be discriminated against...I don't see how it's a theology.

Good ole sausages have been redefined by vegetables and soy and leaving out animal intestines...

 

[Zaac]

Good ole sausages have been redefined by vegetables and soy and leaving out animal intestines...

Please. That ain't sausage. That's imitation meat that wants to be the real thing, but lacks the qualities of the real thing.

A group of people ain't being discriminated against. A group of people just trying to redefine what marriage is.

First, ain't isn't a word, stop using it.

Second, i'm sure if this country was primarily muslim, and wanted to redefine the meaning of "Christian", you and your fundie counterparts would be up in arms declaring constitutional violation and persecution. Double standards are fun aren't (not ain't) they?
