Did you know that the gays had such insane designs on our straight society? Thank God for local conservatives, or else we would never know!

(In-law bitching about Obama).
Me: Yeah, I heard he’s not just gonna’ make gay marriage legal, he’s gonna make it mandatory. You better pick out someone now, so the guvmint doesn’t assign you a stranger. You and your buddy Gene would make a cute couple.
(In-law turns red).
Packaging anti-gay as religious freedom = today’s version of packaging pro-slavery as states’ rights.
FWIW, I’m all for churches being allowed to marry or not marry whomever they please, for whatever the reason. Let them just put up a ‘we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone’ sign and be done with it. So doing would utterly destroy the religious freedom argument, since they could not logically claim anyone was infringing upon their freedom of worship by forcing teh gay marriage upon their houses.

The irony is, of course, that all churches do not enjoy the same religious freedoms as it now stands – a gay ceremony at our Quaker meeting will not be recognized by the state. So why isn’t anyone up in arms about our right to marry people?
Hey Jeff at 11:04: I have a blast doing the same shit to one of my dittohead friends. At a Super Bowl party he dusted off the old “Obama’s gonna take my guns”. My response: “Of course he is. It will make it easier to force you to marry a gay Muslim”. Then I stood back so as not to get exploding brain matter on my good shirt.

Sis, “we marry none.” You know that!
oh, you know, it would just take too long to explain, “Why isn’t anyone up in arms about our right to sit in Corporate Witness whilst God marries gay couples.”
Although that last phrase might make some right wing heads explode. Hmmm…
“Why isn’t anyone up in arms about our right to sit in Corporate Witness whilst God marries gay couples.”
One more example of why Quakers love bumper stickers. When we try to say anything on our own, it comes out looking like that!
“Why isn’t anyone up in arms about our right to sit in Corporate Witness whilst God marries gay couples.”
Um. Should I be?
Duros, the original meaning got a bit lost in translation. This entire argument that legalizing gay marriage somehow impinges on religious freedom completely ignores the religious freedom of faiths that do marry gays. Why won’t the state recognize a Quaker gay marriage, the same way it recognizes a Quaker straight marriage? What about our religious freedoms, hmmm?

Maybe I’m still not getting it. If the state doesn’t recognize gay marriage no matter WHO performs it, how does that impinge on the religious freedoms of you or any other denomination?
I mean, I’m outraged, sure. Not sure where to point it.
I was trying (unsuccessfully I see) to make a point about the ridiculousness of the entire argument that making gay marriage legally recognized somehow infringes on the religious freedoms of the conservative church.
Oh.
Well…..yeah.
Or did I answer my own question?
