Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth and therein lies the conflict with those who believe they are to set up a ‘christian’ civilization/ culture at the expense of everyone else’s liberties.

Now why would you repeat a right wing lie as though it were your own belief? Those states did not protect marriage, no one was trying to prevent heterosexuals from marrying, there was nothing to protect. Those states didn’t protect marriage, they banned marriages, they attacked marriage.

Well, technically true but, as has been pointed out, these people are on record as supporting “almost the same as marriage” civil unions. At the same time, Obama has not exactly been proactive in securing equal rights for gays… he could suspend “don’t ask, don’t tell” military dismissals, for example, but he has refused to do so. And no big push to get the Defense of Marriage Act repealed, etc.

Huckabee and his ilk however, want to be Christian AT gays, what to be heterosexual AT gays in a vain attempt to coerce change in gay people, or in the protective laws of state and federal Constitutional law.

They keep throwing religious belief around as if that justifies just about everything or as if horrendous human rights abuses weren’t rationalized by the same.
And in recent history in America for someone like Huckabee to know better.

Uhh.. the problem is not “practicing your faith.” Practicing your faith means YOU don’t get gay married and YOU don’t gay adopt.

Nowhere in your faith does it say you have to go make laws and injure others.

As you can see though, bigots continue to make hay with the No to Marriage, Yes to Civil Unions position of the more cowardly Democrats. That needs to change.
