Irrelevant. The mission of the organization does not depend on the motivation of the employees. As long as the work gets done the mission advances.
And spousal benefits for gay spouses will prevent the teaching, nursing, diagnosing, counseling, etc., from getting done how?
All 'gays' have an agenda. and they are all mentally ill
Right now, there's a giant group of heterosexuals who are temporarily uncomfortable with giving marriage rights to homosexual people, even though they wouldn't be overtly prejudicial against them. Comments like the one above are fairly certain to push these "mushy middle" folks, as I like to call them, squarely into the camp of the pro-gay-marriage forces.
It's not just flaming liberals who are willing to accept the fact that there are gay people in this world. Many people who are squeamish about homosexuality are not willing to enshrine their discomfort in law, because when they get down to it, they feel they have no basis on which to base the discrimination. Sell them your religion, if you can, but if you cannot, then watch as they avoid the "religious right" on this issue, and gravitate over to the side that makes them feel more comfortable.
I just hope they don't feel so uncomfortable that they vote for Rats, too. The President has done a good job of handling this issue without calling all homosexuals mentally ill, perverted, or psychopathic criminals. He's smart enough to know that if he did, regardless of his personal feelings, he'd provoke a nasty backlash.
