Folks, its really quite simple. Here in America, we have a process to decide how we want to shape our society. That process is DEMOCRACY.

And this is essentially what we are speaking about with the gay marriage issue...how we want our society to be structured. If the conservatives want to have certain constraints, they can try to make it law....just as the liberals can.

But, I do think that we (America) is really getting off the path with the emerging "everything is ok" culture.

Do I think homosexuality is wrong? Hell yes. I liken it to a mental health problem, or possibly a chemical imbalance. There's just no denying it....we are born with certain "equipment" that works with the other sex's "equipment". Dudes with dudes just isn't natural, and NOTHING anyone says can refute that.

To summarize, the majority makes our societal rules (democracy), and I see no problem with either side arguing their point, but both sides need to agree that what the majority decides should be accepted. If we have supreme court judges that rule FOR gay marriage against the desires of the public majority, we have a vehicle to get them ousted, and should do so.
