Reply #28: How is "marriage as their religion allows" different [View All]

than being for civil unions that are legally acknowledged and let every church decide what it wants to do? Which is (DUH) Dean's position. Right now, marriage is a religious AND civil instrument. Dean wants to legalize the latter and allow churches to handle the former as they wish.

You say that "Dennis Kucinich supports gay marriage and will do everything in his power to grant the homosexual community their first amendment right to practice their religion, including marriage...in full force."

Does that mean that it's a violation of their First Amendment rights if churches won't perform gay marriage?

I say the Feds and the states have no goddam right to force any religion to recognize gay marriage. I say keep religion out of it. Make it a legal, civil issue and it has legs.

I'm from Northeast Ohio and have watched the Kucinich self-promotion ego machine first hand. (I wasn't going to say this but it's late.)
