whether or not the bible is pro- or anti-gay, i don't understand what the bible has to do with our government's laws. we don't have an official religion; that would be unconstitutional. so why should our government cater to the current religious majority? you may think that your religion is correct, but others think theirs is correct. either way, they don't force you to take communion, make a hajj, get cremated, or not eat animals. besides, christianity can't even agree on whether or not homosexuality is wrong! some experts say yes, some say no. it isn't exactly clear cut, like how in the ten commandments god forbids you to murder.
keep religion out of our government, and especially out of my bedroom! and if you keep your religion out of my bedroom, i promise to keep mine out of yours.

They say separation of church and state, but with the religious being such a huge portion of the US population, you can't realistically get elected into office without somehow catering to those groups and promising policy that goes in line with their wants and needs.
I'll spare everyone the full rant.
it's probably true that a "loud and proud" atheist couldn't get elected to national office. :(
but i do wish that when people argued about marriage, they would leave religion out of it. if you believe that gays shouldn't marry because marriage is traditionally between two people of the opposite sex, well, i can accept that. but if you're arguing that marriage should be multi-sex because your holy book only has examples of that, well, that's just fucking rude.
The funny part is that prop 8 in California was voted in mainly due to the African-American vote, not the Christian majority.
I agree there should be a separation of church and state, but the biggest issue I think is that there is tons of homophobia, period.
you know people are actually protesting that "dancing with the stars" has chaz bono, who is a transgender? they're like "it's supposed to be a family show!!"
