cbuckyoung - abuse against children is a criminal act. Speaking of illogical... I believe that being gay is no different than having green eyes... you are what you are. You may not feel that way, I respect that. I'm unsure what you mean by "orthodox" but I'm fairly sure I'm pretty typical. I'm a married, educated woman, mother, nurse, friend. You single me out with your faulty logic, erroneous argument and for no reason at all. If you believe that God defined marriage somewhere and it's between a man and a woman - fabulous. I respect that. I hope your marriage is as happy as my own. This country thrives on a diverse belief system... which is why laws in our country serve to protect diversity, not abolish it.

How does the Raleigh City Council feel about other issues:

Abortion?

Capital Punishment?

The attack on Libya?

The assassination of Osama?

The war in Afghanistan?

You have broken your own posting guidelines in post concerning this story. You state that post can not make "generalizations about a group of people. Yet, a posters call people that are favor marriage as defined by God as "bigots" and another post slanders orthodox people as causing "BIGOTRY in this STATE". Under their definition of equal rights pedophiles would be allowed to practice their "beliefs" because we should tolerate "equal rights for everyone, not just people we agree with. The tortured logic of homosexuals and their "supporters" is untenable morally or logically.

Very fine sentiments....

I’d be much more impressed if they would devote their time to doing things that might actually improve our fair city ....
