Reply #79: No, you don't. You don't strip them of their argument. [View All]

Because the bigots aren't excluding because of religion. They're excluding because of hate. They're using religion as a tool. But they're absolutely excluding them for exclusions' sake. Make no mistake about that. They want to marginalize them. They want those rights stripped from them. Religion is the quickest and easiest way to do it, so that's how they do it. Don't think that because we change the words that that will stop them. That is naive.

And why am I getting heated because of a legal term? Why not? I'm married. I'm married just like millions of other couples. Why shouldn't I get heated about it if people want to place me in a different category simply because I'm not religious. Let me tell you, it's hard enough not being religious in this country. I don't need to be placed in yet another "other" category. That's why I get heated about it. It's about not creating a separate category. Plenty of reasons to get heated about that.
