      <![CDATA[Dale, I find it ridiculous and, to be frank, troubling that you hold African-Americans to a different standard on this subject. Yes, any individual in favor of discriminating against homosexuals is a bigot and deserves either our scorn or our efforts to educate them about their error, but it is in no way more 'reprehensible' because that person has experienced prejudice themselves.

      <![CDATA[I fail to understand how African Americans, who understand all too well the wretchedness of prejudice & discrimination based on an innate characteristic, have been on the receiving end of it, can turn around and perpetrate the exact same bigotry on another minority, gay people. Shame on them.

      <![CDATA[Given the economic crisis of North Carolina right now, I would like the answer to one single question from the legislators who are pursuing this Constitutional Amendment:  What is the financial, social and business cost of this amendment for the taxpayers and citizens of North Carolina? I have asked them to tell me and their response has been  to forward the question  to my own legislator who does not support thier bill.<br>
<br>
I can imagine that the cost of the time spent on debating this issue, of running a special referendum for the people of NC and of implementing the law will be enormous for our state when we are already cutting vital services from our state budget.

      <![CDATA[What this all comes down to is that (some) religious people hate gay people because they were brought up to believe that they should. This has nothing to do with undermining marriage (flat-out lie) or procreation (not required for marriage) or polygamy (still illegal everywhere) or marrying your toaster.
