Why? [/QUOTE]Because we have a seperation of church and state in this country. See, my morals are different from your morals are different from George Bush's morals. I'm a very moral person. I see nothing wrong with homosexuality and have a huge problem with war, discrimination, injustice, and greed. I believe George Bush does immoral things. Some don't. Some would percieve ME as immoral. That's their right.
You can't legislate morality because hardly ANY morality is universal.
Deal with it. [/QUOTE]You yourself are proposing to legislate morality. You have decided "all are equal" should be made law under your interpretation of that statement. How can you criticise the other side for doing the exact same thing? That is hypocrisy and double standards.
You mention the separation of church and state, yet the state will end up dictating to the church on this issue. Is it a one-way seperation - meaning the church can't influence the state but the state can influence the church - or a true seperation? Make up your mind because at the moment you seem to want things both ways.
