[QUOTE=IamAlejo]I do support the banning of *** marriages to tell you the truth. Our country, while not fully supporting one religious belief, was founded on religious belief. Marriage is stated as a bonding between a man and a woman. I don't see it as ruining the Constitution at all. Do you think the people who wrote it would support *** marriages?[QUOTE]
I've been trying to stay out of this for the last, oh about 7 pages, but this I had to respond to. The government has to be able to adapt to changes in society as the years pass, and to say that we have to stick with the ideals and values upheld by the founders of the country over a hundred years ago is absurd. Social climate changes, and as that changes, the government has to be able to change as well. up until the later 1900's blacks were treated as inferior citizens, because that's the way the founders of the US considered them. does that mean that by giving black's equal rights the US was undermining the values that the country was built upon? of course not. anyone trying to argue that would be deemed ignorant and intolerant (not to mention a racist a**hole but i'm trying to keep this post clean.) so why is there a double standard for homosexuals?
