I am absolutely disgusted that "issues" such as same-sex marriage and abortion are even considered issues. This country was once glorified for its diversity. We were a country with "streets paved with gold" and so diverse as to be considered a "melting pot" of various cultures. It is not meant for the conservative Christian to be the proprietor of that pot.

When the citizens of a country like the United States of America (the supposed beacon of liberty and freedom), the nation that rose up as farmers and lawyers to progress toward a greater purpose than their own differences, begins to look down to a man or woman of that same country because of their views on love and choice.. Well, I ask you then, what are we to stand for now, if not the same equality and freedom that we once prided ourselves on with great vehemency?

If you suggest that any person in this great country, be it man or woman, straight or gay, Christian or Muslim, should have any less equality and any less right to make a personal choice on their own accord, then you are but one more link to the chains and weights that bring down that once invincible arm of our Lady Liberty. And if the weights and links of the absurd notion that anything less than equality for all is acceptable should succeed, then the torch shall tumble into the harbor, and its ripples will create waves that will destroy us. The beacon will be extinguished, and with it, everything that we hold dear.
