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.

I don’t know who Lisa Pampuch is. There are dozens of her on the Net. I couldn’t find the original source [...]
To say that life has been stressful the last couple of months would be an absurd understatement. My primary client unexpectedly lost his funding, leaving me several thousand in the lurch. New work has been slow in coming and my savings is evaporating at an alarming rate. Not to mention I just spent several thousand [...]
Apparently the Mormon church set an official spokesperson to a public hearing on a non-discrimination ordinance that would protect LGBT people from housing and job discrimination. In a nutshell,
