<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ms. Roskovich, To think that within the last 72
hours you expressed the notion that I'm a mite mean spirited and have a
little to much time on my hands and yet here we are, handing out
the feel goods. I seriously doubt that Ms. Kraut is a homophobe, much less a
racist. To be handing out those titles based on your admittedly imperfect
understanding of her brief post comes across as a smidge judgmental, don't you
think? Or does your crowded schedule and generous spirit demand that you
leap to the harshest conclusion possible all in the name of effective
time management?</FONT></DIV>

are trying to argue with the state and this is a church issue.
The<BR>>church does not want to marry homosexuals because the bible talks
about it<BR>>being an no-no. The church also questioned marrying outside
of their<BR>>religion and race because the bible suggests it is not a
good thing. By<BR>>taking the issue to the church you would actually have
to discuss this<BR>>problem with some reality which of course is why it
is presented to the<BR>>state. If the church decided to marry outside of
race you need to seek the<BR>>answer from churches. There are churches
that are willing to marry<BR>>homosexuals also...with some of the same
problems that happened when some<BR>>chose to marry outside of
race.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> > >From today's

gay<BR>> > marriage?<BR>> ><BR>> > A coalition of civil
rights groups that back gay marriage is using<BR>>photos of<BR>> >
prominent couples like the former Republican governor and his
Mexican-<BR>>born<BR>> > wife, Columba, in an advertising campaign
marking the 40th anniversary of<BR>> > Loving v. Virginia, a U.S.
Supreme Court decision that gave interracial<BR>> > couples the right
to marry.<BR>> ><BR>> > The groups say they hope to use the
couples and the court case to bolster<BR>> > their contention that
marriage is a civil right that should know no<BR>>bounds -<BR>> >
even for those of the same sex.<BR>> ><BR>> > "We're honoring
and celebrating something that just over 40 years ago<BR>>some<BR>>

Jimmy<BR>> > Creech, the executive director of Faith in America, a gay
rights advocacy<BR>> > group that is bankrolling the ad campaign.
"We're celebrating the wisdom<BR>> > that prejudice and bigotry was
removed from the law books and Americans<BR>>were<BR>> > given the
right to marry the person they loved, regardless of race."<BR>>
><BR>> > The "Freedom to Marry" advertising campaign - to be
launched Monday -<BR>> > consists of six ads that will run in two
Capitol Hill publications, Roll<BR>> > Call and Politico. They feature
photos of interracial couples like golfer<BR>> > Tiger Woods and his
wife, Elin, and former U.S. Defense Secretary Bill<BR>>Cohen<BR>> >
and his wife, Janet Langhart, who have authored a book about
their<BR>>marriage,<BR>> > "Love in Black and White." Couples
married to someone of a different<BR>> > ethnicity, like the Bushes,
are also featured.<BR>> ><BR>> > The ads note that 16 states
still banned interracial marriages until the<BR>> > Supreme Court
struck down a Virginia law in 1967, finding "the freedom to<BR>> >
marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal
rights<BR>>essential<BR>> > to the orderly pursuit of happiness by
free men."<BR>> ><BR>> > "Jeb and Columba Bush couldn't marry
today if discrimination were still<BR>>the<BR>> > law of the land,"
the ad that features the former Florida first couple<BR>> >
reads.<BR>> ><BR>> > Bush didn't respond to a request for
comment. But John Stemberger, an<BR>> > Orlando attorney who is
spearheading a petition drive to put a gay<BR>>marriage<BR>> > ban
up for a vote in Florida in 2008, called the ads "a little
