When I say that I get guff (from both sides) that straight people can't keep commitments either. I suspect it's because gay people have had no sanctioned way to express their commitment in an accepted way, so I think it's time for that, in a civil way, but no reason to call it marriage. One step at a time.JohnSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232529806415462712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-89761387337509380442009-05-16T17:22:00.000-06:002009-05-16T17:22:00.000-06:00Perez Hilton is a nobody in my book.

I would think that even secularists pull their kids away from staring at the crap.<br /><br />The point that JohnSD amplified is worth considering - go to civil unions and keep the govt. out of defining "marriage" - let the First Amendment work for all "sides" on this issue. Although I still think we will be arguing about the best arrangement for raising kids, so maybe not as easy as it sounds on first pass.TLF+https://www.blogger.com/profile/01650010433581488888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-27123717012655856702009-05-13T08:29:00.000-06:002009-05-13T08:29:00.000-06:00Donald Trump must be an example of what a good mar...Donald Trump must be an example of what a good marriage should be, after three attempts of his own.<br /><br />The question about gay marriage should have never been posed to a beauty pageant contestant. She's not a politician, has no authority to change laws. It had the same volatility as a question on abortion.<br /><br />Donald Trump still lives by his motto, "I don't care what they say about me, as long as they're talking about me." <br /><br />I actually feel sorry for Ms. Prejean because she's being attacked about something she has nothing to do with. The question should have been screened.

It has to be some type of intentional ignorance. There are just too many historical accounts of how marriage has changed to suite our societal need.
