Putting people in concentration camps is going to make them less likely to agree with you, not more.

“put them in a concentration camp so they can turn straight and come too Jesus.”

"Put gays in concentration camps" come on now. Yeah I'm reporting this violent *** rhetoric.

Because marriage bestows legal benefits. Its not a religious question, its a legal terminology one.

If two people love each other and live together and want to be married, but legally cannot be, then their ability to say- inherit the home they own with their significant other becomes complicated. Their ability to collect retirement or social security benefits after their passing becomes complicated.

So just like we allow non-religious straight couples to marry outside of a church, we can likewise allow gay couples to marry outside of a church because this is a LEGAL ISSUE NOT A RELIGIOUS ONE.…  Read more

Your church doesn't have to believe gay marriage is biblical marriage, for it to be a legally binding government marriage.

since people wish for Gay marriage to be a crime.

those people are idiots for marriage is a right, and love is love.

  @BlankRepublican  from Hawaii  disagreed…4mos4MO

Are you calling all homophobes idiots? Please show some respect for others.

It's not a crime, it's just not what the word marriage means.

 @LehiMello  from Utah  commented…2yrs2Y

Because a bunch of people didn't have a good experience with the different sex and they didn't see a therapist either, but don't persecute them or anything

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
