Default Re: PWHoR 07-2) Defense of Marriage Amendment

Obviously for me this is a very personal issue. Forgive me if I become passionate about it. I find it outrageous that some are willing to go so far as to create a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that prevents homosexual relationships from being treated equally to heterosexual relationships within the scope of the law.

I see this as an attempt by the 'Religious Right' to flex their political muscle instead of using the good sense God gave them when it comes to loving unconditionally. This measure is not a loving measure nor it is something I think Jesus would do. We've had the "WWJD" revolution yet I don't think that many take it seriously. It's not "What Would Jesus Do?", it's become "What Would Jerry (Falwell) Do?".

I think that the policy is flawed on so many fundamental levels that the Representatives who sponsored it should have their head checked. Making heterosexual and homosexual relationships equal under the law is better for the country than what we currently have. This issue has become so hot, not because homosexuals are demanding special rights, but because the fundamentalists want to legislate morality.

I'm sure there will be more to come.
