Let the American Voters Define Marriage?

• Homophobia

The average American has the lexicographical powers of a snail. You might as well let the American voter define the color blue, the number seven and the meaning of civil liberty.

Daniel Avila, associate director for policy and research for the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, the public policy arm for the state's bishops, said churches just want to let voters set the definition of marriage.

"I don't see this as a civil rights issue," Avila said. "Civil rights are not what four judges come up with."

Mr. Avila needs to go back to schoola and study some US history.

The Holy scriptures have already defined marriage, so why do you think voters have the right to change anything???

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Let the American Voters Define Marriage?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
