Dear Brent, I notice the following statement in the decision he wrote: "It does not involve whether the government must give formal recognition to any relationship that homosexual persons seek to enter." Doesn't sound like he is interested in legalizing homosexual marriages at all! The issue in this particular case was clearly one of privacy. A third party had provided false information to the police in order to justify a raid which would catch the gay couple in the act of sodomy. Even Baha'i law only allows sanctions to be taken against persons flagrantly violating our laws against homosexuality. If I had been sitting on the Supreme Court I would have made the same decision as Kennedy did. warmest, Susan ---------- You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.jccc.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=bahai-st news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
