It is simply wrong to tell people who they can or can not be legally attached to. If we're going to make a law saying a certain type of people can't wed, then we might as well go back to saying women can't vote and black people have to use different bathrooms. It's discrimination and it's wrong. I accept the people who have different views and beliefs than I do, but why do their views and beliefs have to step on other people's lives?Midwestgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661565661567050896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710094899729488847.post-34527038018540071472010-08-11T17:02:07.460-05:002010-08-11T17:02:07.460-05:00To play devil's advocate: You say: "I wi...To play devil's advocate: You say: "I wish people would realize that our differences are what make us who we are. If we all would accept people for being who they are there would be a lot less stress and frustration in the world." <br /><br />If we are to embrace differences, should we refuse to focus on who "wins" and who "loses" in this, the latest chapter of the ever-continuing debate? <br /><br />Shouldn't we also accept the fact others see the debate differently and do not agree with your reasoning (for whatever reason)? <br /><br />Wouldn't such acceptance also reduce stress and frustration in the world? <br /><br />Are those who laud the judge's ruling - whether they "like" it on Facebook or dance in the streets - just as guilty of not accepting that others see the world differently? Or does this simply promote the continuation of an unending argument? Perhaps just another "tis so" to the omnipresent "tis not"? <br /><br />Had the ruling gone the other way, would it have limited our ability to love whomever we choose?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836219996927319476noreply@blogger.com
