"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who signed the petition is as necessary as toward those who support gay marriage. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that same sex marriage is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Let's replace his regular coffee with Folger's crystals.

"Selectman Richard Olson said tolerance toward those who own slaves is as necessary as toward those who support the abolition of slavery. 'If somebody feels for religious or other reasons that the abolition of slavery is wrong, they're entitled to it,' he said."

NO. There is NO TOLERANCE FOR THIS. There is no tolerance for hate, there is no tolerance for discrimination, there is no tolerance for denying rights to human beings. The people who feel this way must be told that they are WRONG.

People are not entitled to be wrong!!

Actually, a gay couple is perfectly capable of having children, just not with each other. That's what sperm donors and surigate mothers are for. So is marriage for the purpose of raising children or breeding them? And if a woman gets pregenant by a man who is not her husband or a man gets another woman pregenant does that mean that their marriage is automatically disolved?

No, no. According to the New York decision, hetero-couples are permitted special protection because they can potentially have children accidentally, unlike gay couples. Surrogate and other options are planned. Marriage provides a safety net for "oopses."

The NY decision is really a backhanded compliment to gays.
