Right, I mean, does counterproductivity always have to be so bad? Look at it this way: the more same-sex couples there are, the less people there are born to attribute to overpopulation and homelessness even quicker. Plus, these same-sex couples could adopt a baby whose parents don't want/can't take care of, which would actually help America out when you think about it. There's no international maxim which states, "Gay people suck at raising kids!" last time I checked, so I figure, "Why not?" As a matter of fact, one of my younger sister's friends through her softball actually has "two mothers", now that I think about it. True story.

And just because you love somebody doesn't give you the right to complain to everybody else and change the laws of your state. Just because your mindset doesn't agree with a law doesn't mean that it should be changed. If we changed laws based on how people felt, prostitution would be legal as well as drugs and murder and almost everything else.

I doubt that bolded part highly, for some reason, especially the "murder and almost everything else" part. Last time I checked, most people don't like prostitution, drugs, murdering people, rape, robbing banks, drive-bys, etc. In all seriousness, though, actually yes it does give you the right to complain, if you feel strongly about something. Especially since, last time I checked the statistics, almost or around 50% of Americans support Gay Rights. 150,000,000 people seems pretty important to me, yet you're saying that they aren't allowed to complain just because they don't agree with the current laws that govern most of our nation? I'll go back to the Blacks' and Women's Rights Movements again, if necessary.

But if they voted this way because of their religion, Christianity, then that's where the separation of Church and State concept comes into play, I think. Or I could be wrong and could just be typing to see my own words on the screen. *pokes your avatar and location*

What kind of a president would not veto a law legalizing murder? If someone feels one way, there will always be someone else to oppose, right?

That's very true, however....how in the hell would a law legalizing murder ever even be written, LMAO? It wouldn't even get out of the hands of the sponsor, much less the House or Senate. I know what you're trying to say, though, just using an extreme example, I see.
