POPSWhy is Gay Marriage a Civil RIghts Issue? This is why refusing communion is not a violation of civil rights - because communion is not a civil contract, it does not confer civil rights or responsibilities, and is therefore not a matter of civil law. I will say it yet again. Your laws that say same-sex couples can't get married are the same laws that say they can't eat shrimp or cut their beards. Which is fine and well for you, but I'm going to continue to enjoy my crab louie salad bare-faced without even humoring the idea that I need to protect, defend, and preserve your "sanctity of brunch". It's about civil rights, plain and simple. All your arguments about "Tradition" and such are nothing more than religious bigotry in flowery dressing. Be a bigot if your god calls you to be. But we will fight you when you try to make your bigotry law. And we will win.
