I think my post came across wrong or maybe you took it the wrong way. I'm all for 100% equal rights. I think all couples should be civil unions and get the same government benefits. Let the churches do the "marriage" designation. Since were to keep church and state seperate. I know its a huge step for equality and dont mean to take that away. People just need to learn to agree to disagree and move on. Just because I may not agree with something doesn't mean I'm trying to deny someone else's rights or think they're evil. I'm not that thick headed. I do think that most people hurting this cause are the heterosexual people that demand everyone be ok with it. Maybe that's where I'm.ignorant since I think we can disagree on issues without denying rights. Christians are guilty of casting homosexuals away and calling them horrible people. I'm sure we agree on that. I've moved away from "organized" religion bc of all the negative connotations that come with it. Jesus accepted all people and did things to help and lift people up. He did it through actions, not condescending talks. So I hope this clears it up a bit. Give people the same respect and rights across the board. But that doesn't mean you have to agree with everything. There is a difference.
