I say that MI should change its anti gay law . 1 because MI needs to adapt to the times .think about it if you loved someone and they loved you but both of you were the same sex why cant you be married i don't see why not . If some of bigots wold stop look in the mirror and see what they were doing(violating others rights) and thought if my kids were gay or lesbian would i stop there true love . wold i give up the love of my life because there were of the same sex . i don't think so

Amen to that. It's about time to show the country that MI is a progressive, forward-thinking state, that welcomes everyone. We need everyone to pitch in and work for the good of all people, not just the ones who “are just like me” and “think/believe just like me”. Then maybe we can get started on securing the rights of women by primarying Stupid Stupak.

Our constitution is beat up every-time a organized religion or church pays money to change, or introduce a new law. The churches or religious right have dictated their views on the entire country. I am a regular church goer, and I don't expect others to change their lives according to my beliefs. How arrogant would I be to do that? When our founders told us to keep church and state separated, they had a good reason. I see Iran and other countries run by religions and I don't like it. The organized religious groups even slide money to non-profit groups to hide the fact that they are contributing to a political issue. That is dis-honest in my eyes. I think that every religious group should lose their tax exemption immediately and be fined for their dis-honesty because it would send the wrong message to our children. To lead and teach our children through being an exemplary example of how we think one should live is the best policy to me. To teach them to be arrogant judges of others is very scary to me.
