You're a huge idiot, star. I'm embarrassed for you because you're a politician who should know private religious beliefs have no place in creating secular laws. It's explicitly forbidden. You're so arrogant to think only YOUR religious beliefs should be forced on others, no one else's. What about religions who condone same sex marriages? What about their rights? The science is against you. The overwhelming consensus in the scientific community (people who study this for a living, kind of like how scientists created rocketships, medicine, studied populations, and diagnosed disease) is that being gay is 'fine', not a choice, and is most likely inborn. Ignorance is a choice-your choice. If 99 doctors tell me to do one thing, I'm not going

You are aware that the idea that women should have the same legal rights as men is unique to Christianity, right? Sure, Buddhism and Neoplatonism have a similar idea, but only denying that the sexes actually exist.

The idea that men don't have sexual rights to their slaves is unique to Judaism and Christianity.

I can go on, really. As Nietszche said, "This morality is not self-evident. This point must be exhibited again and again."

Overwhelming scientific evidence. I have never seen a liberal that has a clue about science. You are incredibly ignorant and need to go away while you still have a chance.

How about murder? Why do we put people in jail for murder? Whose law is it, religious or secular?
How about stealing? Whose law is this one, religious or secular?
Abortion is a secular law and you force this law on everybody.
Gay marriages is secular and your forcing your will on everybody.

First, Star is not a politician, she's a conservative journalist. Second, and really important, science is never, ever decided by consensus; science always questions, tests, and questions again and again; the discovery that rockets or planes can lift is due to Newton's law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction....Newton didn't arrive at that law through consensus. Values are missing from the public square and the schools; what student's are subjected to is the left's secular perspective and it is every bit propaganda....I know, I am a school teacher. The population isn't against Ms. Parker, voters in a majority of states have defined marriage as between a man and a women.....it's you that is foolish and ignorant.

She's not really a journalist, she just writes pundit-like articles that are sophomoric. I think calling her a journalist grossly inflates her capabilities.

If every state voted about sodomite marriage, I believe all but maybe California and Massachusetts would vote against it. Then a sodomite loving judge would overrule the peoples' votes which is why people are getting sick of all this being thrust upon us. November cannot come fast enough for most of us.

Hate to break it to you, but when it came down to it, California DID vote against gay marriage. It was thrust upon the state by executive and judicial fiat, and has been tied up in the court system ever since.

Plainly, Aura, you never took a journalism class. "Basic literacy" was considered the high-watermark of success.

President Obama now commands center stage following his formal announcement that, yes, he supports same sex marriage.

But for perspective on how we got to this point, we should shift our sights to three days before the president’s announcement. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan appeared on MSNBC where he responded “yes, I do” when asked if he supports same sex marriage.

Duncan at best raised a few eyebrows by stating his support for same sex marriage.

If he had said that homosexuality is immoral there would have been demands for his ouster.

How have we gone from a nation where...
