Since the response I wrote is Jefferson in his own words that support
his own words (Declaration of Independence) I would say that your
response leaves you looking rather STUPID.
As to the sexual proclivities of Jesus or anyone else for that matter
maybe you should learn from Jefferson that some things are meant to be
kept personal and government should not interfere.
What you do not seem to want to (it may also be a simple in/dis-
ability) understand is that most Constitutionalists would favor the
rollback of all Federal pro-marriage acts rather than see the
constitution further bastardized by adding anyone to it.
Healthcare, hiring quotas, telling me who I can or can not sell my
house to, charging an income tax, are all things beyond the scope of
said document and are the pervue of the states. The differences were
and are what makes different states repugnant or attractive to the
individual... and was the reason for the enumeration/limitation of
Federal powers.
