I'm surprised this debate is still going on in this thread. Stephen, as I
advised you earlier, let it go. Tom, if Stephen is going on the same as I,
it would be based on religious belief as outlayed in the Bible and not
really anything prejudicial in comparison/similarity to what you posted
above, and no am not going to provide any more references than I already
have since the one I gave has them in it. However, I'm just assuming that
is where his argument is stemming from that it is "impossible". There is
separation of Church and State but how far into reality is that?
Legislators in my home state or pressing harder to ban these arrangements (I
shall not refer to them as marriages, sorry). In any event, this is one of
those debates that will go on and on. Both sides have made valid points,
opinions, worthy of consideration; but ultimately, the decision rests with
the voters and elected officials, doesn't it? Stephen, let it go.

I have a simple curiosity question, though. Should this issue really be
discussed in military groups, where there are AD members posting, since the
military as this "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy? Doesn't it kind of
infringe upon that policy, even if it is indirectly so? I'm not trying to
argue, but am really curious about it, do you know?
