gay marriage

Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice... It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else.

"Pope Benedict XVI, self-described Christian, said recently that the prohibition on gay marriage is not a peculiarity of Roman Catholic moral teaching but part of "an elementary truth regarding our common humanity." Elementary, indeed. Third grade, I should say.
