Would someone please tell the nosey minister that we all know someone who is gay… So does that mean no one can make decisions regarding this except you?

I would ask the same of the “preacher-man,” are you gay or someone in your past?

Go away strange un-important man.

LOL! How many “great empires” that DIDN’T “redefine marriage” still exist? Isn’t the answer “none”? Or is it true that, say, the Assyrian and Mongol Empires collapsed because they allowed gay marriage? Is that what brought down the Aztec and Inca Empires too?

This is too funny. The talking point from the ’70s was that tolerating gay SEX supposedly brought down Rome and Greece. But neither ever allowed gay MARRIAGE. She can’t even get the talking point from the 1970s right!

If it is a conflict of interest for a board member to have homosexual family or friends, it is just as much a conflict for those who have straight family or friends.

These black ministers and “leaders” have a very short memory. Black civil rights were ultimately achieved through the courts and the legal process — so will ours.

I am glad that I was never in Corinthia Boone’s history class. Civilizations of antiquity have a funny habit of no longer existing. A glaring exception is China, land of the “passion of the cut sleeve” between an emperor and his male concubine.

Oh here they go again, these religious right preachers are still trying to preach hate and hide behind the bible. When do we get to vote on their marriages? I think I should be able to put that on the ballot anytime I see fit and make them argue why their right to marry should be respected when mine isn’t. Thank God this board has blown them off again, and correctly cited their effort as illegal. Why they didn’t figure this out in California before Prop 8 was allowed to go forward I will never know. We shouldn’t allow these clowns to take away our rights any more than they would allow us to put their rights up for a vote.
