The movie is called Liberty and it's playing at a theater called America. Those that are sitting in the Gay Marriage seat are sitting squarely in front of those sitting in the Religion seat. Those sitting in the Religion seat would like it if same-sex couples could sit one seat over in the Civil Union seat so that they aren't being 50% blocked. The question being debated by both sides is how different are the Marriage and Civil Union seats. One side says they are different in name only, the other says the vantage point is very different. In my opinion, the best path of success is not by calling out "hate" but by proving exactly which rights are being denied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-46100712506252045972008-10-29T21:55:00.000-04:002008-10-29T21:55:00.000-04:00Hey QU!i was checking out the write to marry and f...Hey QU!<BR/><BR/>i was checking out the write to marry and found you, wanted to give you a shout out!p.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744542418370037799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-86624456845620032602008-10-29T16:00:00.000-04:002008-10-29T16:00:00.000-04:00I will add this to my to-blog list.

I also get frustrated with "what's the big deal to YOU if they're married?" I have a few (very few) friends who are sensitive, caring, reasonable, progressive minded people who have that knee-jerk attitude against gays marrying. No matter the rational or emotional arguement, there's the emphatic fear of change. Argh. <BR/><BR/>So, thanks for all your hard work, Queers United!shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-5811909962499725372008-10-29T15:36:00.000-04:002008-10-29T15:36:00.000-04:00Just say No to all the Props!Just say No to all the Props!ReneeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868834978136618763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-55807936265564468532008-10-29T12:58:00.000-04:002008-10-29T12:58:00.000-04:00Same here Sinnerviewer.

It drives me nuts that this is even an issue to be contested *shrug*T.

I just wrote a fairly articulate comment that got lost in the click process.<BR/>Basically it is important to us so that we don't have to "prove" we are a family, or partners, or parents to each other's children, or have the right to each other's home and cars, to make medical decisions, etc. It is way past time to overturn DOMA and let marriage freedom ring for ALL!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-72942863211207150652008-10-29T06:31:00.000-04:002008-10-29T06:31:00.000-04:00It is so hard for me to comprehend why this is eve...It is so hard for me to comprehend why this is even an issue when the Bill of Rights is so crystal clear.
