Sorry but it's not that clearly a religious issue, although certainly most of the strong support for a ban against gay marriage comes from the religious right. But people often see it as a further erosion of the traditional family, as something that will open the way for more pro-gay curriculum in schools, etc. There is a very large segment of our population that doesn't believe gays should be openly discriminated against...but does not want them becoming mainstream either. It's a simplification of things to label it as strictly a religious issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:282716 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
