		<description>I've been to a bunch of NYGMC concerts and they are a lot of fun.  The show is great and there's nothing like Carnegie Hall filled to the brim with Queer folk.  I highly recommend it!</description>

		<description>1) Every single one of these arguments has been debunked already.  (www.noonprop8.com).  They are all lies or misleading comments; every single one of these have nothing to do with Proposition 8.

2) It's amazing how quickly the Yes on 8 people have portrayed themselves as the victims.  They're not the victims; none of their threatening statements will come true.  If they cared so much about religious freedom or schools, they'd be changing laws about enforcement or the curricula, not taking away rights from people.  The backers of the Yes on 8 campaign?  The Mormon Church, the Knights of Columbus, and Focus on the Family, all of whom oppose both gay marriage and civil unions.  This is a fight to take rights away from gays and lesbians, not to help religious people based on some fear that they may be persecuted.

Please donate to the campaign at www.noonprop8.com and make a difference.  These statements are blatantly homophobic and threaten us all, everywhere.</description>

		<description>As a point of fact, same sex couples cannot be legally married in the US except in Massachusetts and now California.  Even if a couple is married in those states, however, the Federal Government does not recognize the marriages.

The marriage equality movement is simply about allowing any two adult citizens the right to marry each other, without requiring them to be of different sexes.</description>

		<description>No, it's not "marriage equality." Gays have had the equal right to marry since Walt Whitman. No gay man or lesbian has ever been prevented from marrying because of his or her sexual orientation. I know many happily married gays and lesbians. I'm as queer as a three dollar bill, and I plan to marry some day.

It's just that gays and lesbians do not have the right to redefine marriage to match their minority viewpoint about what marriage is. If they did have that right, why wouldn't I have the right to re-re-define marriage to match my majority viewpoint about what marriage is? If everyone gets the equal right to redefine marriage to match their own ideas about matrimony, then the only fair way to determine what marriage is would be to go with the majority, which would be man-woman marriage.

Visit my Web site www.GaysDefendMarriage.com for more non-homophobic reasons to defend marriage as the union of a man and a woman.</description>

		<description>Thank you for sharing this list and hononoring those on it!  I had to laugh when I saw my name on it the first time more than five years ago - it was the first I'd heard that I was Jewish!  While my last name is of Swiss origin, my father was Southern Baptist and my mother Presbyterian.  I'm pretty much on the continuum from agnostic to athiest.  I'd have to guess that others were put on the list with a similar story.  The folks who put the list together, needless to say, are not known for their care with accuacy of information.  My hat, however, is also off to all of the wonderful Jewish people I've had the honor to work with in this good fight.</description>
