We are all people and we should not have to justify who we love. We should all have the same rights. We all have to follow the same laws and we should all be treated equally. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Be a lesbian in todays world its not that bad you do get a bunch a B.S. but overall many people dont even care anymore. we have many more freedoms that gays/lesbians 20 years ago didn't have. I'd love to be able to marry my girlfriend but its just not legal and to me thats the most hurtful discrimination i've ever gotten from being lesbian. if straight people can get married and be joined for life by God then why cant gay people... I mean who does it hurt?! who does it hurt to not be able to get married being the way i am? It hurts every gay couple. thats not right. we should have the luxary to get married.

I'd take the donor's offer because a needful organ to save my childs life is important i mean its like my child will turn gay lol its not a disease its a way of living and its just what you perfer.

Nobody has the right to come between the love which manifests between two consenting adults

The question is irrelevant since all should be subject to equal rights

Equal rights for all persons, there should be no difference.

I would certainly want the homosexual to help my child medically, but I don't look at people like that. I don't segregate them.

We were all created and born the same exact way. It is unfortunate for some of us that we didn't turn out to be the kind of exact person that some others wanted us to be. Life is for all of us to do with what makes us happy and we should all be able to get married and live a full life of love and joy. So what if some of us cannot procreate? There are lots who can, so what is the big deal here anyway? Justice for all I say. Gays and Lesbians should be able to love, marry and have equal rights as others do.

In Perfect Love And Perfect Trust, Punishing All Who Discriminate Against Us, Is a Must. So Mote It Be. Separate All Churches From All States (Move them to Mars)! Marriage My Foot!! Civil My Ass!! Is the Pope Civil? GOD HATES FAG HATERS!! We've got to eliminate Hate of the GLBT Community, and this is a wonderful way to get everyone more aware of the fact that we need everyone's help.. What’s wrong with the Government Here, I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. . I Beg all Intelligent and Responsible People to Please Stop Letting This Happen STILL.. How can you when your kids and your friend’s kids and your kids kids and your kids friends kids and so forth; Need you to stand up and take action daily for their own safety.. WE’VE GOT TO STOP THE MADNESS AND IT STARTS WITH GOVERNMENTS ALLOWING THESE TERRIBLE THINGS TO HAPPEN!! .. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. I’m sickened and disgusted. We will get all those Ridiculous Pork barrel Policy Twisting Hate Fanatics to grow up and stop Hating & SPREADING “HATE FOR GAYS”.. I will be working until I die to take care of these people through my online influences and I hope you do to. They say they are not Homophobic but they are worse, they are Big Animal Eating, war promoting, Conservative Religious Fundamentalist Homophobes fighting Against Dignity & Human Rights and they're encouraging to many others to also be that way by denying us Equal/Civil Rights.. With more and more people protesting Against Gay & Lesbian Equal Rights to get married and call it marriage, will you be helping Us or Them? Please do the right thing, and stand up for our equal rights when ever you can, because staying silent is like helping them. We can‘t do very much but what we‘re doing now: constantly fighting for supportive, nurturing and inclusive communities around the world; gay, lesbian, Trans, GIRLY, FEMMIE, SOFT-SPOKEN, Intersex, drag and gender-variant communities is one of the constituencies which make up the rich fabric of Diversity in the world and throughout all societies.

Men who Rape, Men who Abuse Women, Men Who Kill, Men Who Steal and Men after 3 divorces, Are All Men Who Can Marry another Woman when ever they want and call that marriage, but 2 adult Gay People can’t marry each other and call it marriage? Or get complete Civil Rights like everyone else Heterosexual Can get? Separate but equal will no longer be tolerated. Those who have taken advantage of Gays & Lesbians (all or through half of their life time) but never Fight for our Rights need to give back. Here is the perfect opportunity.. Stand up (or write letters/sign petitions) Against Prop 8 Amendment 2 and all Legislation & Government Laws; as well as Doctors, Businesses, Organizations and publishing companies, that encourage hate of glbt‘s everywhere. If not for me then for yourselves, and if not for yourselves then for the millions of others in the world who know how denying us freedom to marry, will deny many others from different cultures and races (straight and gay, animal & human) the freedom of many other things that they care about also. In Perfect Love And Perfect Trust, Arresting All Who Discriminate Against Us, Is a Must… So Mote It Be. - - http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=166371046&blogID=455881604 Time is running out and they’re setting us up for global disasters. As there are Governments still ordering a crack-downs on many peaceful protests (the freedom of the voice of the people), a forced censorship of major civilization threats and sponsored beating and imprisonment of innocent activists, bloggers & reporters by plain-clothed police (threatening the freedom of the speech & press). It's Corruption at all it's finest!!! But they never seem to Stop the Religious Fundamentalists & Hate Fanatics from screaming disgusting and disturbing things to Gays & Lesbians having a peaceful rally for equality and freedom.. Love Arishmary...
