You probably won’t find a whole lot of people in favor of “marriage equality” here.

Oh, I think there are many prominent gay or lesbians persons who are less controversial and have lower negative ratings than Rosie. Neil Patrick Harris springs to mind, who also lives in New York and recently announced marriage plans.

But I agree with the other member that celebrity marriages aren’t particularly newsworthy. I wouldn’t have known anything about NPH if I hadn’t just searched for information relevant to this discussion.

If I were in favor of this marriage, I would ask why she went the marriage route under false pretenses with Kelli Carpenter in 2004? How seriously can anyone take this “spokesperson?”

I mean, if she’s a serious proponent of marriage then she takes the subject of marrige itself seriously. Yet, she admitted on the air that by the time of the 2004 marriage she and Ms. Carpenter were merely “friends” and only played the role and did so so in defiance of the President (who I’m sure was unaffected by this “show” of defiance, having two wars on his mind). This self-aggrandizement was probably lost on Bush to no effect.

Well, living in New York State now, she may very well get to see the whole equality picture. That’s the equitable distributions laws of New York state should this marriage fail.

I’m sorry for her actually. God has given her so many opportunities and gifts, yet she misused the very one that she is prohibited from taking part in (by the Church) and then made a mockery of secular law by marrying someone she was no longer in love with because she didn’t like President Bush.

If that is indeed part of the reason for what she did, then what she did was DOUBLY deplorable, aside from already sinning against God and Holy Mother Church by engaging in gay marriage.

Oh, boy.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.

Because of the legal rights it brings. Which is why gay people want to marry to begin with. They’re already together, so they want to have the right to keep the fruits of their joint work when the other dies, hospital visits, tax benefits, pension, etc.

The Sacrament of marriage, on the other hand, belongs to the Church.

That is what civil unions are for. Can’t they leave the sacrament of marriage alone?
