(275 posts)57. How Gay Marriage could be worse than murder/sex trafficking of children is beyond me
Yet I don't see anyone from the christian conservatives starving themselves over tighter restriction on guns or until websites like backpage are raided and shutdown.
Or how about starving children? 1 in 4 are underfed in the US. Yes, the US, not Ghana or the Congo. I don't see them starving with them until our government, who really wouldn't have to spend THAT much to do so, feeds them. Instead we feed Wal-mart coffers.
God forbid two people, whose lives will likely never intersect theirs or cause any actual harm to anyone, get the same legal benefits that marriage has to offer in this country.

It had better or we'll be feeding someone to the lions. And I'll bet there a little more plump.

They don't believe in their absolutes and bemoan that we don't believe in their absolutes.

I'll change my sexual orientation to gay if it will help others jump on this band wagon.
