I also can not understand, how religious organizations that get involved, never mind allow hatred to be manifested and multiplied, retain their tax status. Then again, if the Constitution is not upheld with rights, I guess it would not be held up for the separation of church and state. In every instance where this has failed, it has been supported, and pumped full of money by so called "Christian's", religion, churches, and in the name of the same God that was supposed to say things like, "Judge lest you be judged", "love thy neighbor as yourself", etc.
These rights are at the government level, not religion. They even put in the thing to exclude any religious organization or person did not have to preform, support etc.
I guess my hurt, sadness, pain, and feeling of less than, comes from the fact that this was even allowed. There are protections from what happened here and in California, yet, as my Grandmother used to say, "Any law or right is only as good as its upheld". Its time for the Supreme Courts to step in, and put these things in place, with NO restrictions, per the constitution. Then if a church supports/gets involved in State activities, they relinquish their tax exempt basis. Pay taxes, on EVERYTHING.
Its hard to feel happy, when this State is where I was born, raised, served my country from for 12 years, (until Clinton signed his crap). This is the blood in my veins, air I breath, and the substance that feeds me. And I remain a person that is Less Than......
