My, oh, my... What a sweet condensation this article is of all the lies and misconceptions about non-heterosexual people. Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.
Nothing - and I mean nothing in capital letters - gives anybody the right to deny any category of citizens their basic rights. This includes religious texts. The US Constitution is very clear on this point. Freedom of religion may not impede inalienable rights, nor can government impede freedom of religion.
Stop writing and believing these outright lies. Non-heterosexual people are people and perfectly equal citizens. NO MORE LIES!

Initially, the adjective “gay” was transformed into a noun to that describes a homosexual man displaying effeminate mannerisms. It seemed to be a sociological fit, created a simple synonym with four less syllables, and lost some of its negative connotation.
It is reported that sexually abusive relationships and dysfunctional families may result in difficulties relating to the opposite sex, and the adoption of a homosexual lifestyle.
By definition heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite sex. In restrooms, dorm rooms, and military barracks, it’s a simple process to separate facilities to maintain the needed level of decorum and comfort between the sexes. However, homosexuality makes chaos out of this convention as separation, decorum and comfort disappear when it is not just opposites that attract.
If a policeman pats down someone’s daughter, it’s likely the city will be sued on a sexual assault charge. And likewise if the policeman is gay, and he pats down someone’s son, the offense would be no less.
The homosexual community is aware of the confusion and conflict they create for themselves and others. Furthermore they loose the prestige of a family legacy, are subject to increased suicide rates, learn that many parents do not want their children influenced by them, and tragically they die far too soon as a result of their homosexual activities. It is reportedly more lethal than smoking cigarettes, reducing their lifespan by 40%, and should not be considered a victimless lifestyle.

Surprisingly, there is virtually no mention from the main stream media that confirms or refutes the homosexual lifespan issue. Consider the economic consequences as Obama plans to provide health benefits to homosexuals. Some of the wisdom of the past is worth examining before making changes that can turn our society upside down and difficult to reverse.
Homosexual apologetics say that their orientation is genetically or culturally influenced. Similarly, people with substance abuse, criminal, and heterosexual illicit tendencies can make similar claims, although the financial, cultural and spiritual outcomes are commonly destructive.
In addition to the pragmatic reasons to oppose homosexuality, Judeo-Christians don’t mix words, clearly condemning this lifestyle on Biblical grounds:
Leviticus 18:22
“Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.”
And for raising children: Luke 17:2
“It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.”
More contemporary wisdom: "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness." Author: Mary Wollstonecraft

Do you ever actually read the Bible? Do you actually study the word in its historical context? Are your beliefs fabricated from what someone else told you what was right or did you actually come to an educated belief? It sounds like to me that a bunch of you church-going, Sunday-Christians don't even know what the Bible is actually saying. Study up a little.
Jesus said to NOT judge others, lest you be judged. We already have a God who is guiding us and will let us all know. Jesus told us to love one another, and though some Conservatives are concerned, more than half the time you are just acting self-righteous. Stop being a pharasee.

Basically, Gay and Lesbian government employees in long term stable partnerships got re-imbursement of the rental costs of a U-Haul to move when relocated out of the "memo."
Given the reaction of the Religious Right, he might as well have funded the receptions at same-sex marriages given the hyperbole that these people made out of so very little.

I think it's hilarious when I agree with CWofA. Their Pres talks up the social good of marriage, stating:
Marriage provides unique benefits to individuals, families, and society that cannot be replicated by any other living arrangements. Marriage helps nurture children and reduces social and financial costs to society by promoting healthy behavior.
She just about screams for the legalization of gay marriage since marriage is such a social good in her eyes, important to individuals [like Mary & Beth] and families [Bob & Ted, and their three kids] and society [financial interdependence, stability, health, education, community, etc].
Too bad that CWA and NOM do such harm to individuals, families and society, while marriage equality would have great benefits to us. They're just on the wrong side of..... well, everything.

This is my last post to you!
Lord Jesus Christ, you commanded us to love our enemies, those who defame and injure us, and to pray for them and forgive them. We know that you prayed for your enemies, who crucified you. Grant us, we pray, the spirit of Christian reconciliation and meekness, that we may forgive every injury. Help us to overcome ill will and personal offense with Christian meekness and true love of our neighbor. We further ask you, O Lord, to grant to our enemies true peace and forgiveness of sins. Do not allow them to leave this life without true faith and sincere conversion. And help us to repay evil with goodness and to remain safe from the temptations of the Devil and from all the perils that threaten us in the form of visible and invisible enemies. Amen.

Are you assuming I'm gay?
How homophobic of you!
One must wonder why you obsess of what gay people do.
As a heterosexual, what my son does with his partner has no impact on me, and I'm sure he doesn't need self-righteous people like you out to "save" him!
Your concern for his soul is like the saccharin love given by the Pharisees. Where you see yourself being compassionate, I see a hypocritical snake lying in the dark.
Focus on feeding the poor and all of the Ted Haggards and Jim Bakkers of the world.
People like you are the main reason we quit the church and decided to pursue bible study on our own. We don't need your judgment and we're tired of subsidzing your tax-exempt hate brigade.

As a Reformed Jew, my religion accepts same-sex marriage. What right do you have to impose your religion on anyone and demand that everyone be KKKristian! This is America for crying out loud! I don't care if your religion requires that you tattoo your forehead or speak in tounges or marry a 12-year-old "woman" as part of a polygamous cult. The founders set separation of church and state in place for a reason!
We don't say anything about you eating pork and lobster do we?!
And Sodom and Gomorrah was about inhospitality not homos!
You KKKristians like to pervert our Torah and insert all kinds of pagan things that weren't there to begin with! The Sabbath was never declared Sunday and G-d never once said he'd send Jesus as the messiah. Some Jewish boy just got a little excited and figured he was G-d.
