It is sad we are taking away rights from a group because of who they are. No law should limit any group in particular based on "morals."

you would still be entitled to your opinion if gay marriage was legal. but when you start oppressing others with that opinion that's when it's wrong. Not everyone believes in God.

Keep it personal and not try to force morality via the government.

If you read my post correctly, you would clearly see I don't think forcing my view of marriage on others. The same idea is my view on abortion, I believe that it's wrong, but we shouldn't bully them into "the right thing". That being said, I would have voted for this in NC solely on my beliefs. I don't support gay marriage, but I do think it's a personal choice.

so you would've voted for the government to interfere with a personal choice?

Agreed, that is what I said earlier.

The problem with this kind of public referendum is that there are more people that are passionately against gay marriage than passionately for it so when it comes up for a vote it gets voted down. Meanwhile the majority of people don't really care about it one way or the other so they don't even vote.

This kind of thing should never go before a public vote.

It's just a huge waste of money, especially in a time when budgets are thin. This will undoubtedly be overturned by the courts eventually.

Correct. It's like choosing the lesser of two evils. I don't like either one, but voting against it would be going against my religious and moral beliefs. I probably would have not voted if I had the choice.

Hell, I've always been a liberal because I believe that the richest country in the world should look out for it's poor, infirm, elderly, and mentally incapacitated. I'm beginning to agree with the libertarians, more and more. Let's just do away with all the bullshyt, and start over again, as a new republic, where only the strong and able survive. My first target as the leader of this new establishment, is no more tax write-offs for the "religious" institutions. Make them pay the same flat tax as the rest of America. Make them accountable. No more tax-free status for churches. Let's do away with provisions in the tax code for the progenitors of anti-Constitutional rhetoric! Down with the Moral Minority!
