I have no problem with her POV. I have a problem with they was she states it and her wanting to take freedoms away from others. Who can I be a bigot when it has to do with intolerance??
Who has said one cannot believe homosexuality is bad? What I've seen objections to is wishing a group one does not wish to "tolerate" should disappear -- to the point of wishing to censor all sight or sound of said group.
I got married a year and a half ago. There is no possibility of my husband and I every having children together. That wasn't why we married.
While procreation is one reason for folks to marry, it is hardly the only reason folks marry. Nor do domestic partnership benefits no matter how liberal they are (and I live in the state that has the best example of close to equal benefits) they are NOT the same as the benefits that come with marriage. This is particularly when the benefits are only for things like health insurance, and not for rights having to do with automatic next-of-kin status, automatic dual custody rights for children of the couple (adopted or natural -- if a heterosexual couple adopts a child or has a child using an alternative method of conception -- sperm donor, IVF etc, both parents have custody rights to that child).

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
Hmm, replace all the references to homosexuals with Christianity or religion.

why do you ask? Do you know no marriages wherein the couple do not have children?
