Do you know why? You see Jaimee is a lesbian and has been very happy with her mate, but she is not allowed to get married by law. Each time she takes issue with this on Internet Forums all the Christians start quoting scripture and all sorts of hokum and slander? Well one young man came to her rescue in an attempt to easy the burden. Jaimee, I am not of a religious connotation. So, I am looking at this issue from outside the cave. I see your point. There is nothing I can do to help you and look how intense these debates get. I suppose if the Gay and Lesbian Community would have started this level of push 30 years ago then today it would be happening in the USA like it is in most other nations. There are also lobbyists who are Corporate who are opposed because it means approximately 5% increased in healthcare co-pays and other entitlements. Right now we have many Corporations trying to get out from under under-funded pensions and negotiating with Unions in many industries, Auto, Manufacturing, Airlines, etc. to cut benefits. So that too is an issue catching you between a rock and a hard place. It appears that there are some benefits issues here in corporate America on top of the Christian Right voting block and they may not be able to afford an onslaught of additional gay and lesbian marriages. Or so they say. But either way apparently there is a lot of money flow and huge voting blocks against gay marriage, so it looks like it maybe a while yet still for Jaimee and her friend. Consider all this in 2006. |
