Smulyan: Reject same-sex amendment

A letter to the editor, yesterday, said it all. 100's and even 1000's of jobs have businesses behind them, committed to coming to Indiana. They are coming here because of the traditional family atmosphere here. It's good for business.
These few businesses who want to hire people who commit attempted-sex acts with people the same gender, and allow them marital rights, are in the vast minority. A woman who through unnatural means wants to "be a man" for another woman, and be over her in authority...a man who through feces-saturated means wants to "be a man" for another man...if that is not against God and nature, what is. What is more sickening, or disease-provoking...85% of these men have Hepatitis B, according to statistics.
And how many have died of AIDS???
May God have mercy on whom He will.
Thank God it's not me in that situation! I've been bad enough, but thank God it didn't go that far!! Thank you, Jesus!
Pray for them, don't help them stay in that!!!

I am ashamed of the business leaders that asbsolutely attack an amendment the strong majority of Hoosiers want passed. They wrongly state that people will not come here because we are not inclusionists? They forget that the majority of America BY FAR supports this amendment. This amendment simply states that only a man and a woman can be married. That is what the vast majority want. These liberal biased messages that the CEO of Lilly and Mr. Smulyan want to spread to try and strike fear into our workers is purely political bias. I used to love WIBC. I now will never listen again! I will have to only watch the Colts because I will never support or buy ads again from WIBC. Let's hit them in the pocket book and make Smulyan have to sell the company!

God says it is an abomination !!! what's next people marrying animals? come on ! lets stand up for something..the reason we even have to have this as an issue is because society now pretty much goes along with anything..

Right on! What's next - allowing people to marry horses? Allowing them to marry children? Allowing them to marry vegetables? Because these are all what will certainly happen if we start down this slippery slope. Haven't we already done enough damage to the sanctity of marriage by legalizing divorce?

If this amendment passes, all of the rational people and businesses will leave town and the religious right can fulfill their dream of turning the great state of Indiana back into a 1700's style southern colony of uneducated, bigoted, god-fearing morons.

So tiring having to explain the same things over and over every time this issue comes up...
Not all Americans are Christian, therefore not all Americans believe it's an abomination. Imagine for a moment that Judaism is the largest religion in the U.S. and someone proposes a bill banning pork. How would you react? Clearly, it's not a sin to eat pork as a Christian, right? So, why should their religious doctrines apply to you as a free American?
Some day the tables may turn, fmy riend. Christianity is on the decline. And won't it be ironic when Christians are the ones being persecuted?
You are not called upon as Christians to legislate your morals. If you understood your religion at all, you would know this.
Oh, and animals cannot consent. Homosexual relationships are between two consenting adults. Ergo, you don't have to worry about people marrying their dogs (or children). Consent, consent, consent. It’s an important thing you should really try and grasp.
May your emotions stop clouding your judgment...
