That's your right; it's protected by our constitution. Doesn't mean I agree with you, but that's what makes this country great.

The tide is turning on acceptance of gays, but again, our struggle for a union of equal footing as marriage has absolutely nothing with my desire to be "accepted" by strangers (not you, just generally speaking).

Something tells me you'd have a bigger problem with having a gay preacher rather than one who cheated on his wife and repented.

I agree they don't want history to judge them unkindly (who does?) . Arkansas's AG has admitted as much. I'm curious as to why you call them "cowards" though.
Question for you, if the first portion of your statement is true, doesn't it invalidate their rulings to anyone attempting to be even the slightest bit honest.

You're a funny guy, Toddy. 20,000 posts, and nobody here has a clue what your second most important issue is

No, it just means you feel differently about something that still divides the country. I don't mind people who disagree with me. That's fine. But there's no reason to be hateful about it (you haven't been, just commenting on a lot of people who are).
I have a very, very bigoted uncle (knowing I'm gay) said to me a few years ago, "Ya know, I don't agree with homosexuals. Truthfully, it makes me want to puke. But you live your life as you want, and I'll do the same. I don't like gay marriage, so I won't have one, but you do what you want."

The government can't get out of marriage because their are many functions that require it.

States aren't being forced to recognize first cousin marriages.
That means "persecuting" Alabama fans is constitutional but "persecuting" same sex couples is bigotry
Has nothing to do with the religiously based opposition to gay marriage.

Because society would collapse without cops beating up homeless people or jailing cheech and chong.

I could have a civil conversation with you. You may not not agree
with but you respect my right to my opinion. My opinion is based upon my Christian beliefs. If someone wants to live that lifestyle thats on them. If someone wants to call me a mindless hick because I refuse change my beliefs to make them happy thats fine.

This bigoted part of your post completely invalidates your first few reasonable sentences.

Yeah, they did. A lot of what they said turned out to be correct.

It would say a lot about them wouldn't it?

The fact that you didn't go for the gay preacher tells me a lot about you actually.

Society would not collapse by allowing Gay Marriage either. It is possible for the government to get out of marriage but thats a way taller mountain to climb than Gay marriage. That would basically make marriage have about as much meaning as a "friendship" as far as the government is concerned, which would take away special rights away from people who are married. I don't think their are many judges or politicians who have the will to do that.
Simply saying the government should get out of marriage will just never happen even, If I don't personally have a problem with it. Thats kinda what this debate really boils down too.
Why can't a Gay Married couple with adopted kids have the same Tax breaks (rights) as a straight couple with kids?
