dqandhallie: For you being such a religious nut, I'm surprised at your poor grammar skills. When writing, "God" should be capitalized. "God" is always a proper noun unless you are saying that someone is "a god". Work on your education. Maybe you'll proper grammar and how NOT to be a bigot.

Dqandhallie, what makes you the expert on Gods will? You may not believe that I was born this way, but I and many others do. Can you explain to me why it is so hard for everyone to treat all people as equals in this country? If you were being oppressed for one reason or another, you would probably be screaming as loud as you can to be treated equally. That's all we want.

As for Mr. VanHollen, I still don't agree with his choice not to represent the state. His personal beliefs should have nothing to do with the job he was elected to do. There is proof that the Domestic Partnership law does not violate the marriage amendment. I think that it is sad that his future political aspirations is going to cost us tax payers even more money.

why is that they cannot understand that being queer is not the norm and it is not gods will

Well, I would prefer that he follow through on his responsibilities, but it's probably better that he recuse himself rather than participate and do a half-hearted job.

Does anyone really care if I'm married or not? I fail to understand how my being married or in a domestic partnership adversely affects you or your marriage.

Oh, that's right. It doesn't.

That is totally gay.
