Thank you for doing just that, for formulating the words and arguments that I think but don't have time/ability to make. The use of one middle eastern population's irrational, superstitious, ancient and immoral laws as a reference point within out legal system, taking priority over any other views, beliefs etc. (including those from the many cultures who have *not* condemned homosexuality throughout time) makes a mockery of the idea that the U.S. has a true separation of church and state or can, in any way, claim to be the 'home of the free.' How sad. This whole issue makes me want to cry with frustration every time I read about it, though our mainstream media overlooks it *all* the time and fails to put forward an adequate critique.
