Gay Marriage Debate - Dixon, IL

[Anna Hartsell]

Martin Luther King. Jr once said the famous words of "we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!". Notice how he includes religion. I think its fair to say that he thought all men and women were created equal no matter what their appearance or beliefs. I believe that everyone is created equal no matter who you love. Love is love and if you want to be gay, that's your choice. i really don't see a problem with being gay. i support gay marriage.

Dixon should OPPOSE gay marriage, as the institution of marriage is intended for a MAN and a WOMAN only with no mistake!!

Marriage is a civil contract between two consenting adults. As a contract it,by its very nature, is gender neutral. So there is no reason, save for personal prejudices, to deny ssm

HELL NO!!

Women are for men, as men are for women!! Anything else is dysfunctional!!!
Why can't people get this?

Leave religious babble out of it, if you're gay then you're dysfunctional and that's all there is to it!

THOSE are the minorities, the majority in that area are HETEROSEXUAL so that argument doesn't fly! Burke has to remain neutral(and kiss gay ass) if he wants to stay mayor!
