When I read the thread title and link, my first thought was that there was a tie between liberal viewpoints and reduced divorce rates, and subsequent reading kind of points in that direction. Obviously, most people who support gay marriage tend to be of a more liberal mindset than, say, Pat Robertson supporters. Perhaps the Family Values people need to start valuing the families they currently have, rather than seeking out new ones.

I am a Catholic.

I don't consider myself completely conservative. I don't consider myself liberal, either.

I consider myself logical.

In my mind, I can be a Catholic (which I am) and support my gay friends, too, which I do with all of my heart. Christianity, to me, has always meant tolerance and complete love for others. That is how I was brought up. So, why on earth would I read that to mean "tolerance for only men who love women and the women who love them?" That sounds more like a self-help book, not principles to live by. My mom used to tell me (as well as my favroite priest) never follow blindly. God gave you a brain. A mind.

I believe in God with all of my heart and soul. I believe in him to be benevelont and loving. I think the ability to love is the most amazing thing in the world. Ever since I was a little girl I used to think, "If you are lucky to find another person to love, why does it matter who?" That just made complete sense to me. I'm sure I thought that at a young age because I had a Mom & Dad who spent 24 hours at each other's throat's.

Who you love & what you do in your bedroom is none of my, or anybody else's business. Not Pat Robertson, not Joe Blow the rag picker residing under the freeway. Unless, of course, your'e making love to Joe Blow the rag picker. If that's the case, I want full details.

Now, what I do in the bedroom is everybody's business because I feel the obnoxious need to post about it so much, but that's another Thread..

You can call me simple. You can call me idealistic. Judge not lest ye be judged. It's just as easy as that.
