""We aren't here to impose our beliefs on anyone. We are here to begin a dialogue on civil rights," said Cleve Jones, a pioneer activist and protege of Harvey Milk, San Francisco's first openly gay leader who was slain in 1978. "Harvey said we can't win unless we open up our hearts to connecting with people who appear to be very different from us."

MARRIAGE SHOULD BE BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN ONLY

Well, everyone has the right to their opinion, as long as they accord me the same right. I disagree with you, Elaine.

One day it will be you that is persecuted and judged by the public.
after 61 years of life I have never seen love harm anyone. We need more love not less.
Hate takes many forms, this just seems like another.

From a very straight man

There was a time not so long ago..that marriage between a black and a white could not be..

Marriage is..or certainly should be about love..commitment..caring and sharing ones life with another..

The time is coming..maybe not today..perhaps not tomorrow.. but soon..it will come..Equal rights for all..

And Patrick I agree with everything you wrote..Thank you..
