Lovely ceremonies, one in a church, one on the lawn of a private estate. My wonderful opposite sex marriage certainly hasn't been weakened by them. On the contrary. After the first one in early July, my wife and I reflected on our own great fortune to have found each other's life companionship and are both very happy all our friends here in MA, same sex or opposite, can have the it exactly the same. I hope one day laws like these are looked back upon with the same feeling of shame some folks wish gay people to feel. It is a shame that discrimination and prejudice is being written into the very documents that are supposed to protect people from discrimination. On another note... Today a Judge in Washington state cleared the way to overturn the gay marriage ban there.

Discrimination? You discriminated against people when you chose your wife. You excercised judgement and made a decision that discriminated in favour of her. How can you blanketly trumpet discrimination as evil? Like fundamentalism, it is what the CONTENTS of belief, or actions, that causes discrimination, fundamentalism, intolerance or any other judgement to be "good" or "evil". [/QUOTE]When your arguments boil down to picking apart a single statement or asanine analyzations about semantics, it seems as so much angry flailing in the face of logic.
