Tolerance promotes a "live and let live" policy, which does not address the difference. Acceptance and equality is essential. How can the American people accept that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality if our leaders do not promote that message. Instead, lawmakers across the country cry "what rights they have are sufficient." Until we are at a point where all couples are given equal rights and utilities, gay or straight, the message to the people from the government will always be "they're here... they're loud... we might as well throw them a bone to make them quiet down."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-45440721721040112242009-03-26T22:51:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:51:00.000-04:00by the way, I called the guv. ^__^by the way, I called the guv. ^__^brainw0rmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590474282838266374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-20515463234898551742009-03-26T22:50:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:50:00.000-04:00to Mollie:Maybe I am wrong here, but I thought tha...to Mollie:<BR/><BR/>Maybe I am wrong here, but I thought that the marriage benefits were denied on a federal level. If a state gets marriage for gays, do they then get the 1100+ federal benefits that those with civil unions do not have? I am confused here. Do married gays in CT and MA get the federal benefits, or are they still denied those by the federal DOMA?brainw0rmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04590474282838266374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-72946155394798773502009-03-26T18:05:00.000-04:002009-03-26T18:05:00.000-04:00I ask people if civil unions and marriages are the...I ask people if civil unions and marriages are the same why do we have different titles for them?

You cite the economy as justification. First of all, more marriage will stimulate the economy. Second of all, however, marriage equality is not just another piece of legislation. It determines other peoples' lives, health, happiness, security, individual economy, and overall well-being. Civil unions grant the citizens of Vermont state-wide rights and responsibilities, but there are still another 1000+ FEDERAL rights and responsibilities that you will continue to withhold from your constituents and their families. Anti-equality and homophobic initiatives such as vetoing this bill only serve to perpetuate anti-gay attitudes and further marginalise the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community.Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645182013448108428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-8658692232128550362009-03-26T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-26T16:09:00.000-04:00Yeah...Cause he's in the closet...Miss you!!!Lauri...Yeah...Cause he's in the closet...<BR/><BR/>Miss you!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-69227723550488253822009-03-26T15:53:00.000-04:002009-03-26T15:53:00.000-04:00AH COME on Jim!
