(there its called nazareno) the picture is not of a klan member its of an adolescent boy probably ın sevilla participating in a harmless religous ceremony İ swear google semana santa nazareno.

So wild fires rage in Calif. huh?
Well I guess GOD is just p-o'ed about all that Prop. 8 stuff and how the vote turned out. Just wait...there will be more mayhem in Calif. later this month, prediction #1 - earthquake Mag. 7.4 hits central Calif next Thursday in the late morning (local time in Calif.), prediction #2 some fundies in a state other than Calif. will organise and fund an accross the U.S. of A. rally to commemorate the outcome of Prop. 8, with several large well known Religous type groups in tow for media purposes.

I truly do not mean to be insensitive but I admit I am ignorant of the subject... that said, why isn't the argument about gay and lesbian "marriage" posed as asserting rights to a legally equal "civil union?" (Or have I missed something?) It seems this might grant the rights and responsibilities desired, while taking the wind out of the sails of the opposition who would remain owners of the term "marriage."
Once again, I am seeking enlightenment, without intending insult or offense.

jukk0u: Civil unions fail to assure about 900-1000 rights that automatically come along with "regular" marriage.

And civil unions are failing in practice, too: in New Jersey, where civil unions are available, something like 2/3 of civilly-unioned partners who have asked for partners' employment benefits have been denied by their insurance agencies. The reason? They don't have a "real" marriage.

So yeah, there's no substitute for the real thing. And separate is NOT equal. I hope you choose to vote, and fight, for us.

Am I the only one who wonders what the government is doing in marriage anyway? "Marriage" should be a social/religious arrangement, not a civil one. Let everyone have equal access to "civil unions," and leave marriage up to individuals.

Hmm. . . that 'anti-classmates.com' link - is that really, truly meant to allegedly send one to a site of some kind? I only ask, or axe, because there doesn't seem to be any such website to arrive at when the link is clicked upon.

are you seriously comparing someone trying to re-coup $15 from a web-site to ROSA PARKS? wow i'v never doubted you before last days, but holy shit shame on you!

suckit - fer cris'sake, buy yourself a sense of humor!
