Throwing the first stone with a log in his eye

A wife is not a punishment to be endured for the benefit of society! If you are unhappy with your marriage it is not somehow the fault of the activities of lesbians in Provincetown or gay men in San Francisco!

George Bush seems to think that society is going to collapse if gay people are allowed to marry. Apparently he wants to protect the sanctity of a Britney Spears weekend marriage from the clutches of "evil" lesbians like Mary Cheney (daughter of VP Dick Cheney).

How is it fair or equal to relegate homosexual Americans to "separate but equal" status? How, exactly, is the sanctity of marriage jeopardized by the actions of gay people? How, further, is it Christian to judge anyone?

Bush 'disappointed' by concept of equal treatment under the law for the Godless queers


It is human nature to feel better about oneself when playing the role of martyr or persecutor. As far as I can tell society would be a lot better off without either type of person. We need more people that take personal responsibility for their own actions and who tolerate the activities of their neighbors which do them no harm. Someone once said something about treating others the way you wanted to be treated yourself. I forget who said that or why, but it seems relevant. If they can find that quote, maybe they should put it up in a courtroom to serve as a mantra to those that judge others.
