It will affect me because I perfer not to be walking down a store andd seeing a gay couple with a ring signifiying their marriage.
Marriage is a religous rite and what gays do is everything against religion therefore they shouldn't have the right to marry. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That is all I have to say.
So its about jewelry? You want to deny a couple the rights that other couples have just so you won't have to see a gay couple with wedding bands on?
My wife and I can:
1) Get tax breaks
2) Make decisions about each other's medical care if one of us in unable.
3) Obtain joint health, home and auto insurance
4) Inherit from each other without a will
5) Take bereavement or sick leave to care for each other or our child
6) Choose the final resting place for each other
7) Get wrongful death benefits for each other or our child
8) Get a division of property in a divorce
9) have joint child custody
10) Have each other covered under Social Security or Medicare
Please point out which of those have ANYTHING to do with your religious beliefs?
Please tell me, other than YOUR religious beliefs, what possible reason can their be for denying these benefits to a portion of our society just because you dislike them.
