For example, I think it is important for the LGBTQ community to understand why the city's supeaneas included ministers who were not part of the signature gathering, and I hope it becomes clearer why sermons were supeaneaed. Lastly, there seemed to be asnafu where some official approved or certified the signatures before they were determined to be unacceptable. I think the City was entirely in the right, but these are important details to this controversy.Thomas Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192373548604834201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-78841761325278927402015-01-19T11:28:52.184-08:002015-01-19T11:28:52.184-08:00I know this has been said many times, recently, bu...I know this has been said many times, recently, but, they are out of arguments. All that is left for them is to keep fishing with the same rhetoric in the hopes there is still one big catch available to them. There will still be the problem of attempting to place discrimination into law, such as in Virginia and, alas, my home state of Indiana. Cities and towns will also be looking for ways to ignore Federal law. Which brings up a further step.<br /><br />Once the marriage equality issue is settled there may be an even larger issue to address: that of "religious liberty." (I, purposely, did not capitalize.)Unless SCOTUS puts their collective foot down, which they can't without a case before them, it could be many more years before attempts to incorporate religion into civil law are stopped. <br /><br />I must, once again, leave my soap box. There is so much to do on so many fronts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
