Problem: Law&Order/Religion - Gay Marriage 11/13/09
Should gays and lesbians be allowed to marry?
Gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry because of separation of church and state.
Solution: They should be able to have the same rights as anyone else when it comes to marriage. I don't think that there should be a law or anything or the sort that prevents people from marrying who they want. Even if a person doesn't agree with that and thinks that it is wrong, they shouldn't condemn others for feeling a certain way.

Problem: Religion- Gay Marriage 11/13/09
Legalizing gay marriage would cause difficulties or legal issues for religious institutions if a gay couple wanted to get married in a church.
Solution: Only allow gay marriages to take place in city halls or non-religious institutions.

Problem: Religion 11/12/09
Religion being used as a means of social, ethical, & moral excuse.
Religion is consistently being used as a means of excuse, whether it be over issues such as gay rights or abortion rights.
Solution: If people actually judged the issue for its worth, instead of approaching it with a moral sentiment attatched, the solution to the proposed problem will be solved at a much more productive and efficient rate.
Perspective: Politically Moderate. No religious affiliation.
