Don't be an idiot.
What President Obama said is not a 'war on religion'. For this to be a 'war on religion' he would be asking for the Church to recognize gay marriage as a sacrament.
Nope. He just wants them to be able to file a joint tax return.
If people can't tell the difference between a legal marriage and the sacrament of marriage, maybe that speaks of their own religious understanding more than that of the President. I'm married - and the religious definition means I'm finally allowed to have sex, the legal means she gets half if we get divorced. So let's not pretend our friends in the gay and lesbian community are getting the better half of this deal.
And if this is about the 'sanctity of marriage' then outlaw divorce. The only authority straight people have in discussing the 'sanctity of marriage' in the first place is because they are so fucking good at divorce. Trusting straight people on how to fix marriage is like hiring a bomb squad as your contractor.
If there is a segment people of people out there that think preventing gay marriage is going to stop all the gay sex, I'd like to invite them to every. single. college campus to show them how outlawing drugs has prevented a bunch of annoying hippies from smoking pot and listening to the Dave Matthew's Band all day. And I think we can agree Dave Matthews is a much bigger threat to society.
What President Obama said shouldn't even be news. He thinks people in a homosexual relationship should be able to receive the legal benefits of marriage - which is more or less some boring shit about taxes and insurance and medical privileges. There is no mention of the sacrament. There is no 13-minute version of Ave Maria. People aren't going to sit, then stand, then kneel, then stand, then kneel, then sit, then stand, then kneel, then do a tri-pod like a normal mass. It is just for the legal benefits and recognition.
Maybe instead of just having the separation of Church and State, it is time for them to get a divorce.

love it.
hit the nail on the head, couldn't agree more!
Well said, President Nomina
Stop caring who people share their love with stupid people... and find something else to complain about. Let people love who they love.
officially a fan.
so so so so so true!
im proud to work for a company that allows same sex partners to be insured with our benefits. I agree, I think people have the idea that if they can't get married they'll stop being gay.
that's pretty retarded!
Call me an idiot if you will but what is wrong with connoting gay people and church sanction? Seems to me Jesus was all about love. For everyone. No conditions applied.
Great post! I couldn't agree more. Everyone should be able to be married!
@lacochran's Evil Twin: Jesus is all about love except the one thing he does state in the New Testament is that sex should be between a man and a woman. However, he then goes on to state that no sin is greater than any other sin, so having sex with someone of the same sex is the same sin as having sex before you're married. So being in love with someone of the same sex isn't the sin, it's the actual act of sex. I think the problem most people have with same sex couples getting married in the church is that they consider it an unrepentant sin. But then again, don't most people quit having sex once they're married????
Go Suck Bomas D*&%
