Good points from Digg:
"I am a Massachusetts parent helplessly watching public schools teaching my son that gay marriage is okay." Schools teaching kids to tolerate gay people? OH NO!!!

I'm still trying to figure out why a "California Doctor" has to choose between their faith and their job if gay marriage is legal.
Do you not treat a patient's broken leg if they got gay married? Or perhaps you're a gynecologist and you determine it's against your faith to give a gay married woman a pap smear? Perhaps a surgeon decides that hey, this gay man with a husband doesn't deserve to have his appendix taken out - obviously it's God's will that they came down with appendicitis.
Seriously here - why would someone either a) being gay, or b) being gay and being married to their partner in any way make a medical professional have to decide between their faith and their job?
"Nurse, fetch me the paddles - this man is in cardiac arrest!"
"Doctor, I can't - he has 'the gay', so it's against my faith to save his life! Jesus would want me to let them die!"
"Oh, well, if that's the reasoning, then I guess OK."
I'm missing something here.

if gays marry all the straight married couples will be forced to change their lifestyles. you cannot continue to live your life if the gays down the street (who am i kidding, the gays living downtown miles away from your safe all white village) are legally married. you will have to have bum sex. nothing but bum sex. that's what this is all about.
be afraid, be very afraid.
(NICE SARCASM)

"I'm a California doctor who must choose between my faith and my job."
You had better fucking choose job. If you don't want to help people to your fullest then don't choose that profession.

I love how these people are trying to convey how the gay rights activists are making decisions that affect THEIR lives. Hello!?!? What have these people been doing to gay families with the laws THEY pass for centuries??? Gay people are here, they pay taxes and they should have the same basic rights to form a contract with another person (which is really what marriage is) and form a family just like any other couples. It's not the end of the world.

I am a joyless homemaker, trapped in a loveless marriage of convenience. I can't even make eye contact with my children, much less talk about gay marriage.
Let me pass on my failures as God intended. Please stop gay marriage.*
*do i really have to use the sarcasm symbol here?

These people are too ignorant to even know or care that they are on the losing side of history.
They're no different than the people who went batshit crazy about interracial marriage, or school integration. They'll spend their later years denying they were ever the bigots they are.

Is anyone going to explain how same sex marriage would force a physician to choose between her faith and her job?
What in her job function changes because someone else can marry?
I am often ashamed of this country, but very hopeful for the future. My son and I will do everything possible to change this kind of intolerance.
