There’s no reason that the government should prevent homosexuals from entering civil marriages because some religions object to the concept, any more than the government should ban atheism because some religions object to it.

Governor John Huntsman has come out in favor of civil unions and supports the Common Ground Initiative. A republican. In Utah. Who’d have guessed? I guess miracles haven’t ceased.
Freedom to Marry Week. Get Involved.

Isn’t this just special. Supporters of Prop 8 let slip in an amicus brief they don’t really think that ministers will be forced to perform marriages that are contrary to their beliefs.

…and it’s about damn time. You gotta see this at Pam’s House Blend:
Macy’s Bold Affirmation of Marriage Equality.

Boi from Troy asks, “Why does Obama oppose gay marriage?” Ostensibly Obama’s reason is because his religious views dictate that marriage should be between a man and a woman. He might as well have finished his statement with, “Polly want a cracker!”
Obama doesn’t support gay marriage because it is not politically expedient to do [...]
