Birth Control the same thing as Abortion?

[Super Buu]

I don't like it when people blame the government for hypocritical policies and dumb laws. The policies of politicians aren't so much determined by their own personal opinions or rationality as they are by how much they match up to the opinions of the public. You can be as wise and truthful a leader as you want, but that won't help anyone if you don't get voted into office. Therefore, the majority public - albeit by proxy - determine the laws with their beliefs. The problem isn't corrupt politicians, it's the dumb opinions of people in general and lack of education.

There is no argument against gay marriage in a secular sense. Religions can do what they like, it's their perogative. A gay man shouldn't want a church that opposes them to bless their union any more than a black man should want to join the KKK.

I completely agree with that, but the problem is the legal and economic benefits of marriage. From that standpoint, I'd legalise gay marriage in general, but if specific churches wanted to prohibit it, then let them.
