I can't believe the democrats have the house. (I'm doing the happy dance) In a perfect world, the greens would, but I need to be realistic. After Bush got elected the first timeI felt like I felt guilty for weeks because I voted my principal and voted for Ralph. What was I thinking

I read this in someone's journal entry the other day, : "I honestly dread the day when man & man or woman & woman will be legally bound together."

Wow... that person really needs to find better things to be afraid of.. like, I don't know, global warming, world poverty, etc. :\

Just because I dread something, doesn't make me scared.

a novel anyone?

I am probably disappointingly un-political. I don't like Bush at all, but mostly it has to do with his alarming inability to speak. Wtf? How can you be president and such an awful public speaker

I've tried for many years to seperate my religios beliefs with my political views, and frankly, it just doesn't work for me. It may for some, but it just doesnt, no matter how hard I try.

I don't think gay people are hell bound, I don't think there aren't some awesome gay people in the world. No doubt, there are. But, I also don't support someones sin. I have a brother who has a live-in girlfriend, I don't support that. Do I love them both? Of course.
Just because I don't approve of something doesn't mean I disapprove of the person doing it.

I sin every single day of my life. And will until the day I die. There's so much more to God than just his love. He loves us, of course. But he also hates sin, hates divorce, hates a whole bunch of things I've done in my life.

Anyways, I wish you would have just commented in my journal, rather than making a post about it. I think that's what hurts my feelings more.

If you don't think gay people are hell bound then why "dread the day when man & man or woman & woman will be legally bound together." Is it because you think it is a sin that I want to marry the person who I love, support, and have been committed to for over 5 years? If you do, then you believe that I am hell bound. So why "dread" it? Will me or any other homosexual couple actually kill the "sanctity of marriage?" I'd like to point out that the heterosexual community has already ruined that sanctity when the first drive through wedding chapel and then granted an annulment the next day. I just want to be able to have the same rights as everyone else. I want to be able to make the decision to pull the plug or be allowed to go back in the ICU room because I am ACTUALLY married to her. I want to be able to say I'm a lesbian and not have to worry about someone taking my children away from me to prove I'm not a pervert. I would also like to be able to rest in peace and know that if I were to die my children could not be taken away by my

And that's my struggle. I feel for you, I honestly, truly do. Do I think anyone should be denied a legal right of doing something? Not at all. But do I support gay marriage? No. I don't know how to make the two fit. I dread it, because I don't understand it. I dread it because how do I teach my child that it is wrong (in our religion) if Suzy and Johnny's mommies are married? I don't know so many of the answers, and it leaves me in such a weird state

i didn't name names for that very reason.
