I am so sick of having opinion’s dismissed because they are “divisive”. It is such an illogical argument. Of course everyone could be forced to spout the exact same Communist party line and thereby eliminate “division”, but that would not be freedom nor would it be America.
“We oppose the Defense of Marriage Act and all attempts to use this issue to divide us.”
Isn’t it the gay activists and their allies who are the divisive ones here? There was no controversy or division in America about how to define marriage until they came along and started filing their lawsuits on the subject.
I don’t get this. Those opposed to changing the marriage status quo are the ones who are divisive, according to the gay activists. They act as if there would be no controversy if only those opposed to their agenda would get out of the way.
While polls show Americans are more accepting of domestic partner type laws, most Americans are not there regarding full fledged same-sex marriage rights.
And who exactly is using the Defense of Marriage Act to divide us? Those who oppose repeal of the law simply want the status quo to stand. They don’t hate homosexuals; they simply want marriage to stay the way it is, regardless of what happens with the “gay” rights movement.
Those who oppose repeal of the law actually don’t spend a lot of time thinking about homosexuals. They consider it settled law that should stand.
