Shortly after midnight, Steven Goldstein and Daniel Gross renewed their vows as New Jersey became the third state in the nation to offer civil unions for gay couples.

I think I am ok with them getting equal benefits from the government they do pay taxes too. I do not think that any church of any kind should marry them in the name of God. Civil union ok God Blessed marriage no

I do not hate gay people and find many of my customers that are gay are much easier to deal with than most others. We do not have to talk about their sex life or mine far as that goes so respect is the order of the day.

I can agree to some of that. I think they should have legal rights as far as marriage goes. I'm not about to open the can on spiritual rights. But as far as my personal composure goes, my position is the same as that in the military. "Don't ask, don't tell....and NO PDA!!!"

LAF

The zealot thinks we should change the laws to not only dismiss the First Amendment and separation of church and state, but also to give special rights to a minority of the American population..

And you have the audacity to call others anti-American?

Do you even know what the word means?

we already give special privileges to the minorities... too numerous to count, However, the minority today may be the majority of the future...JUST A LITTLE COMPASSION FOR OTHERS NEVER HURTS...what happen to the golden rule.

Call me an optimist, but I'm not really worried about homosexuals becoming a majority in America.

If some one is gay they can not hide it from all the people all the time. The don't ask don't tell is kind of a PC thing. I feel if they obey the law and pay their bills then they are just as American as I am. I must say civil union sounds better than a church ordained marriage but to me churches are political factions too and the in fighting that goes on in many denominations at the top levels is worse than the problems on a local level.

At least it will give more mathematicians a job. Have to recalculate life expectancies, and all risk associated... potential rate hike in the near future to share the extra burden.

Civil Union? LOL, sometimes my marriage isn't very civil at all!
