So where is this religious freedom you were talking about? For someone who is so enthusiastic about religious freedoms, you don't have any respect for the right of those with different religious values, do you? I wonder what you have done for this right that you keep bragging about, except being born into it and by the looks of it, hating it. ohwell

This looks like an educational program for kids, just like your average Sunday school. She is trying to educate little children about gay marriage. Just because you disagree with her, doesn't mean it's cheap.


Not that I disagree with her message that is for sure! I don't like the way she is doing it. If you want to justify in those terms fine..I don't see it that way myself.
"Judge, I object, she is leading the witness" screams out to me. Anyone other TV lawyers see it this way? Again it is not the message it is the way she is getting the girl to answer the question to make her point.



Religious freedom dictates you can believer, and teach your children that gay marriage is right, wrong, or neither. Same with pre marital sex, and a panoply of other issues. The main difference between what the USA SHOULD BE (but often is not) and what we perceive Iran to be is that religious views permeate the secular area. What right wingers in the US do not seem to get is that on issues like abortion, gay marriage, and a panoply of others, the freedom to hold one religious belief or another has nothing to do what is permissable in the secular world. For example if gay marriage is legal in one or more states, it does not mean the government can compel, say the Catholic church to perform gay marriages.

"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
