Seperate but Equal

March 30th, 2004 Chris Posted in Uncategorized |

One suggestion on the table by activists is to create a doctrine of “Separate but Equal” and allow gays to have civil unions, but not marriage. To me, that’s exactly like restricting blacks to the back of the bus and saying “Well, at least we’re giving you a ride.”

Personally, I think we should take after some other countries and separate the idea of marriage from legal matters. If religious people claim marriage as a sacrament, then there should be a separate, legal definition (perhaps civil unions for all) that has no theistic basis.

  1. Woo-hoo!

  2. I dont think that gay should be allowed to marry though because that is just sick

  3. Well, thank you for wowing me with your astounding logic. How could I not have seen that it’s “just sick”?!

    (end sarcasm;)

  4. I would have to agree I might not like what they do but they are human beings too!! They can not control what gender they like. But I do not think we should be comparing this to the what happened to African-Americans. Yes gays are not being treated right but were gays slaves?? were they made to go to different restrooms gays over there hedersexuals over here. People can agree or not but that is what I think.

  5. I think that gay people should be allowed to marry because they are humans just like straight people and they should be able to be happy with the man/woman that they want to be with.
