If you disagree with Bush wanting to take away rights from gay people, sign this petition.  Thanks

*This has been edited because the original content sounded really stupid.  However, I was trying to say, call your congressmen and senators instead of merely signing a petition.  The difference starts there.*

Yeah, I'm not so sure my parents would appreciate me getting a phone call or mail about this, since they too agree that gay marriages shouldn't be legal.  I agree with you Nicole also though, that everyone should be allowed all the same rights/benefits that married men/women have (and I believe this VERY strongly)

Somehow I think it would...

Since I was sort of ignorant to all this til I found out someone close to me is gay... you'd really understand.

I understand that the sacrament of marriage is supposed to be a "sacred" thing... I'm Catholic, don't get me wrong... but I think that atleast they should get the same benefits as married couples, even if you're not going to call it marriage.

I agree.

I mean, seriously. Besides, the Bible was written nearly 300 years after Jesus died. Who can say that that's really what God says? I mean, if gay people are born that way, then why should it be so wrong?

Anyways, I think that even if Bush doesn't agree with it, he still shouldn't push his beliefs on others. I mean, not every has to believe what he does.  :roll:

What's the big deal? So they have the same genitals...what does that matter? Nothing. And how is it immoral? It's not. If god didn't want them to be gay he wouldn't have made them gay. Explain that to me please.

God did not make them gay, he gave man free will, and far too often man chooses sin over righteousness.
