I understood the question as What do you THINK about gay marriages. When an opinion or thought is ask for then have enough courtesy to NOT thumbs down the answer because of the opposing Thought, but, because the answer was incorrect/or wrong. My answer did receive 11 (thus far) thumbs down....because, I had a thought about the question and it was in opposition to the majority. The thought was the belief in the God of my choice. That was so stated in my answer. Those that display that type of mentality or the ones that apparently don't believe in my God or maybe any God for that matter.
Well guess what? What I believe and my answer probably received some ♫ Hallelujahs! ♫ from topside.
I could be wrong about my interpretation of the question. Just as I could be about anything else in life.
Could anyone else out therebe wrong?
Upon entering the question and this idea in this particular category I realize will greatly offend some. The best I can say, It's not meant to.

I think its great that you expounded on your answer to clarify it and made an effort not to be misunderstood. If I could meet you, I would shake your hand. Not everyone who is at odds (with a particular thought/idea/belief) would make the kind of effort you did and I have to applaud you for that.
I wish you well in whatever you do.

>>"However, I do agree that this was not the best question to ask because of the backlash that would occur." Yes, the question is very controversial and will clearly lead to a lot of backlash, either way -- however, it is a question bubbling in a lot of people's minds right now, seeing as states are enacting the fourteenth amendment little by little. I think, in many ways, the question is EXTREMELY appropriate; Miss America has more to deal with than world peace. >>"In actuality, Ms. California showed no disrespect to homosexuals. I honestly don't take issue with what she said. My parents are for heterosexual marriages, and so am I. I too was raised to believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. But I have homosexual relatives, and I don't love them any less, I just don't agree with what they are doing." No, of course not. Homosexuals are not protected under {let me see how many times I can use this text before you'll actually read it} THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT: homosexuals are not and should not be equal citizens. Homosexuals are secondary citizens. Homosexuals should not receive basic FEDERAL benefits which straight, married couples may. By that logic, Miss California wasn't disrespectful at all! Just a bigot! Speaking of bigots, the kind of "Palin defense" of your love of the gays is the sort of red flag to a polite homophobia. "I love gay people! Gay people are my best friends! They just shouldn't have equal rights because they're different!" >>"The only thing that bothers me with SOME homosexuals is that they compare their plight to the contemporary discrimination of Hispanics, Native Americans, and African Americans." Correct: we are in the midst of a civil rights struggle. I personally don't believe we're dealing with the systematic discrimination any of the above ethnic groups went through {although the homosexual community has arguably lived, and died, through a genocide: see, the AIDS crisis and how long it was ignored by the government only to be subsumed under heterosexual worries}, but we are certainly dealing with a democratic problem -- rights included in the Constitution aren't being awarded, due to people's often religious prejudices. >>"We face discrimination over our origins, and that is something we could not control." Unlike homosexuality, which people CAN control. Wai hallo thar Freudian slip. :) PS: I would have actually preferred we not fight for marriage: it's an out-dated, broken institution which causes more harm than good. However, since it's on the table, I'm going to go to bat for it.

Umm. Yes you missed something. Not in the question, but in the thumbs up or down. when it comes to an opinion question you can't take the thumbs up or down as they think your answer is wrong, it just means they don't agree with your opinion. i hope that helps.

also God made gay people, and God doesn't make mistakes.
furthermore the Bible says judge not lest ye be judged.

Believing that the reality of marriage is a religious issue is more like having your head stuck in the ground. The truth is, marriage is nothing more than a civil contract that requires sepcific performance. If you disagree, then try to get a divorce.

Very well then, Granny. But, this is a questions forum, not a message board. You made it clear you didn't like that you got alot of thumbs down. But, what exactly is your QUESTION?

A person is free to give thumbs down for answers he or she doesn't like. That's how thumbs down work. Deal with it.

lots of dancing around to try to hide that your view is bigoted and hate mongering.
