"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pusuit of Happiness..." (Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776).
On this July 4th, Independence Day Celebration, let us not forget that this declaration is for ALL men and women in the U.S. That includes gay men and women. They too are entitled to the right of the "pursuit of Happiness." NOT allowing gay men and women the same "unalienable Rights" is against the law. This includes the right to pursue happiness through marriage if one chooses. How any law can be established denying this god-given right is beyond my comprehension. Maybe Congress should pass a law exempting any State that discriminates from obtaining any federal funding! So, go ahead States, make your laws of discrimation, but be prepared to go it alone, not with the Federal Government's agreement. (One can dream, can't he?).

As with the Bible, people pick and choose which parts they agree with and decide to follow, and ignore the rest.
