no one's going to force anyone to get gay married

there seems to be confusion as to the underlying intent of personal freedom laws regulating such things as an individual person's individual right to terminate a pregnancy for whatever personal reason that individual person has or an individual person's individual right to marry another individual person of their individual personal choosing - regardless of their sexual orientation.

you see a bunch of leaders from the orthodox, catholic and evangelical ilks have signed a document called the "manhattan declaration" calling on christians to practice civil disobedience when it comes to implementing laws that directly oppose their beliefs. interesting - last time i checked no one was required to get an abortion or even to marry people of the same sex. but, bring on the sit ins and boycotts i say because people should take steps to defend their beliefs. i just hope that the people in these groups remember to practice civil disobedience when it comes to the treatment of the poor and children or even against those who insist on cutting their hair and eating pork!
