The media needs to define Republican candidates as mean spirited haters.
The gay question is the new abortion question.
The correct answer is to state your position and indicate it’s a state issue and be done with it.
But for nonbelievers in the possibility of a marriage between two people of the same sex, it is not and it cannot be, a "state issue".
If someone does not believe that such state-sanctioned sexual arrangements are a "marriage", and if he or she transacts business that lies within state commercial codes, then calling it a "state matter" means that the police power of the state in question may be used to force him or her to execute documents, write employment contracts, pay benefits to, etc, a man's "husband" or a woman's "wife".
For nonbelievers, this establishes a tyranny.
Do you agree that, as a "state matter", that this is OK?
