Poster Comment:
Queer sex perverts have no right to pretend they are married. Just like a math teacher has no right to say two plus three equals seven. If queers can pretend they are married. Then christians can exercise their first amendment religious rights. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
