Exactly. Why should the government be bound to recognize the 'Christian' definition of marriage, (man and woman) rather than that of the Church of Hugo (any two people who love and committ to one another)? THAT is religious discrimination. The government MUST recognize ALL, or NONE.
If ALL, then same-sex unions are included, or can be, under that religion clause (and as Head of the Church of Hugo, I'm gonna make a mint on new members).
If NONE, then NO religion's definition of 'marriage' is relevant to whether a couple is or should be allowed to recieve benefits.

Oh joy, another attempt to make my life more misrable in the future. No wonder I'm majoring in Political Science, I'm already to fuck my way to a congressional seat to stop things like this from happening.

I dont't think that politics and religion can be separated in the U.S.A. People are far too influenced by their religious beliefs so they can't see the difference, which fortunately still exists, IMO. (Religion is just speculation about matters which we'll never understand, and what God REALLY wants, thats a question we are not able to answer, whatever your local priest might say)

I am prepared to help you in any way I can to help you win your campaigns!!!!! For free!!
That is another problem with our government. Important positions like defense secratary are being handed out to a bunch of rich dumbasses who aren't qualified to do the jobs that they have been appointed for. All because they donated a few hundred-thousand bucks to a canidates fucking campaign!!!

I know that. It isn't exactly new to me! I'm just saying that it's one of the many problems in this country.

I DON'T THINK POLITICAL HANDOUTS ARE THAT OLD. MAYBE THE DARK AGES. WHEN PEOPLE DONATED MONEY TO THE KING SO THEY COULD BE THE LOCAL BISHOP.
GAY PEOPLE SCARE ME. THEY DON'T JUST FREAK ME OUT, OR MAKE ME FEEL JUST PLAIN SCARED, BUT THEY TERRIFY ME IN A MILLION WAYS. THEY DO STRANGE AN UNHUMAN THINGS TO EACH OTHERS BACKSIDES. THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THIER RIGHT MINDS SHOULD EVEN SUBCONSCIOUSLY THINK ABOUT.

People who type in all-caps worry me. They should be rounded up and put somewhere 'safe.'
Obviously, Dabang's never heard about the millions of hetero males who do the same things to their female partners' backsides...
