		<description><![CDATA[Jeff,

   Question.  We don&#039;t allow Same Sex Marriage; however who murders their unborn children?
   Answer.  That would be us heterosexual males and females who recklessly have sex and than after discussing the matter, choose abortion.

God would be very proud of homosexuals for looking to enter marriage and I imagine a tear coming from his eyes when he realizes that some &quot;unwanted&quot; children will get a chance at life and love.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay men and women have the same right to marriage as all adults.

The state determined that marraige is between a man and a woman. If a gay man wants to be married, he must marry a woman. A lesbian must marry a man. They have the right to marry.

Gays want to create a new right, a natural right to homosexual marriage. Such a right has never existed, it is a right created by judges, not a natural right created by god.

I do not have the right to marry my sister, even if a Judge were to declare it to be a natural right. It is still wrong.

I sincerely desire to be tolerant, and respect all persons, no matter what my personal feelings are.

I will never accept that Gay marriage is a natural right, even if a Judge declares it so. It is just wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matthew,
Yes, you are clearly missing my point. We are not speaking the same language . A civil union will do this for insurance, medical decisions, etc. period! If thats what you want.  You and I are in the audience, watching a two battles between the Constitution, and the judges, and supreme law and the judiciary. Activest judges know they have &quot;Judicial Immunity,&quot; Walker knows he is immune from lawsuit so why not go for it!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jeff,

Quite frankly, the gay rights movement is considered an equivalent to black suffrage or women&#039;s rights. It&#039;s about eliminating the segregation of Americans who should be able to enjoy full rights of an being an American citizen.
Also, you mentioned the importance of a man and a woman in child-rearing, but multiple studies have shown that there are no significant differences of psychosocial behavior between children of heterosexual parents and children of homosexual parents. Furthermore, children of two, loving homosexual parents have often become more socially adjusted than children of single-parent households. Therefore, these &quot;traditional&quot; values of marriage hold no greater impact on raising a family.
And I&#039;m interested, what kind of legal, cultural and political consequences will follow this decision? Perhaps gay marriage will pull more money into the economy, as a significantly larger amount of people will begin to get married. Politically, this impact will probably have no impact on you. Culturally, our nation becomes more accepting and tolerant. This could be beneficial for the United States.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmmm I wonder if that is the same cnn that removes posts?

Judicial activist Judge Walker chose to ignore precedence and through judicial supremacy ruled same sex options to be more important than traditional ones. Walker and gay activists want to plant in my mind gay marriage is equal to things like the abolition of slavery, or women overcoming patriarchy! Well that just gives the gay  side a false sense of credibility by exploiting those past struggles. Furthermore, I am insulted by your racist attitude that claims I don’t know any better. Who are you narcissist Judge Walker  to label my thoughts as irrational? You claim anyone who opposes your view is a bigot or homophobe! I guess that helps you and the activists justify your actions, but it&#039;s clearly not reality. Your reasoning? It&#039;s gays right because you say it is!! Who are you to marginalize opponents to your point of view? Oh I see gay ideas of what should be redefined are more important then everyone else’s. Combining homosexual life styles to redefine the importance of man and woman in child-rearing and  the value of traditional marriage is not within the judiciaries subject matter jurisdiction, that’s why we had such a one sided 136 page trial, and the public deserves better. I guess I am supposed to cave and accept redefining marriage and morality. I am supposed to shut up and openly accept the stage set for an anything goes society and not see the legal, cultural, and political consequences to follow this precedent.  After marriage is conquered, the activists wont&#039; shut up, because marriage is just the first step in the far-reaching agenda to redefine.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how today&#039;s decision goes, it is the ultimate Supreme Court Ruling that is of greatest importance.  I have the uttmost confidence in the soundness of Judge Walkers decisions.

It is a new day.  Gone are the days of class superiority:

“Hey darkey, come on into the grand dining room and serve us white folk ’cause you do it so well, but do not think for a skinny moment that you can EAT with US for Gods sake! Here – take this plate of leftovers to the kitchen – enjoy.”

Lesser is not Equal.  Equality for all!]]></description>
