Poll: Support For Gay Marriage Growing

Which sux. People are who they are, that can't be changed. But we can only try and hope to change the attitudes of others. It'll take a lot of time before it'll happen, so the best we can do is have patience.

DOMA was huge mistake ever and they are currently challenged in court right now and DOMA will soon goes to history.

I doubt it will be overturned. We will see.

Well, not always about representatives or voters, in some cases, gay marriage are installed by court.

That is being challenged as well.
 
Gay California Man Begs Obama For DOMA Reprieve To Prevent Husband's Deportation

A California gay man's heartbreaking plea to prevent the deportation of his immigrant husband is making the blogosphere rounds just days before the couple's March 22 federal immigration court hearing.

In a blog for The Doma Project: Stop The Deportations, San Francisco resident Brian Willingham, who is banned from petitioning for his same-sex spouse Alfonso Garcia's green card under the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), writes:

"As a gay American citizen the federal government offers me zero, zilch, nada, null access to the federal rights that all married couples have. This is not an issue of separate but equal. There are no separate federal rights for married gay couples. There are no rights at all. This is not a front of the bus, back of the bus issue. This is the federal government telling us to get the hell off of the bus. They called it the “Defense of Marriage Act” when they made it law in 1996 when I was only 22 years old. But now that I am 37 and I am being persecuted by the federal government, I can tell you that DOMA is more like 'Destroy Our Marriage Aggressively.'"

Of Garcia, a Mexican native whom he describes "an integral part of our family and is there for every joyous celebration," Willingham notes, "Our lives are meant to be together –- to be here for each other, like any couple."

"So Mr. President I need your help," Willingham concludes. "I am calling on you to stop the deportation of my husband. Not with vague references to a deportation policy that has been reformed to keep families together, but with explicit written directives to stop deportations of couples like, who but for DOMA, would have access to a green card."

Earlier this month, David Gonzalez, a gay Costa Rican immigrant, was spared from deportation by a Texas immigration judge based on his same-sex marriage to a U.S. citizen in a case that was hailed as "great news" by local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocates, The Houston Chronicle reports.

I don't even have a stance really. Pretty indifferent to the issue.

That's correct but there are some people see you as unfriendly to GLBT rights, however I wasn't trying to offend or label you like that way.

I've never spent more than three seconds worrying what other people think about me. I'm me for me.

that's why I'm telling you because it's understand that a person is not always aware the effect oneself is causing on others. try and keep yourself in check.

I have a question. Why do I get the impression every time I am reading about or discussing homosexual marriage "rights" that I am left thinking it is really an attack on people of faith? Not just Christians, but any faith that views marriage as being between a man and a woman?

Is it just me that is left with that impression?

Also, if the Federal Government recognizes marriages as being between a man and a woman, aren't they respecting an establishment of religion? In fact, if they recognize ANY marriage, isn't that respecting an establishment of religion, since marriage is inherently religious?

Well ... those were several questions ... sorry.
