In reply to Lisa McDonald.

Thank you Lisa. Your posting is a breath of fresh air. The U.S. is a multi-faith country living in relative religious peace because we agree to allow for disagreement, we maintain a separation of church and state, and we hold the Constitution in high regard. The Constitution requires that all people be treated equally. This implies that everyone should have access to basic human rights, like to the right to marry the person that one loves, and to whom they are committed. Heterosexuals will naturally choose an opposite-sex partner, while those with a homosexual orientation will naturally choose a same-sex partner. But the love, commitment, and mutual support are the same.
