The Unprotected Americans

I am utterly baffled and disgusted to think that religion, which is purely a choice, is a protected class in these United States of America. Yet sexuality in all it's wide-spectrum, from homosexuality all the way to heterosexuality, which is a natural born trait of all humans is not a protected class.

How can this be? How can religion be protected and not the human trait of sexuality? This has to CHANGE and should be written into our Constitution.

Just as all peoples have the right to freely practice any religion, all peoples should be free from religion as well. I know there is the alleged separation of Church & State, but that seems to have disappeared. There should never be a referendum, law, amendment, etc that imposes religious beliefs on any group or class of people.

Campaign to revoke the tax-exempt status of hateful meddling churches

There is a campaign to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Church of Later Day Saint (aka the Mormon Church or LDS). They funded the campaign for California's Prop 8 passage and have thus violated the separation of church and state. They should be fined and should have their tax-exempt status revoked!

Tax the Church and not the Gays

As US Citizens, we should all have equal rights, the right to marry the person we love and want to spend our lives with should be one of them. If a group of US Citizens want to take away a fundamental right from those who are part of the LGBT community, then why should the LGBT community be required to pay taxes in a nation where we don't have the same rights as everyone else? The argument that its about religion and what is 'traditional' does not hold true, as a US Citizen, we have the right to freedom of religion, by denying the LGBT community the right to marry the person of their choice, that is violating our freedom of religion and forcing the religion of others upon us. Prop 8 passing is just another sign of how much prejudice still exists in our great nation. Thank you to those who voted NO on 8 [in California].

And I am here to say... No, I am here to DEMAND that the US Government revoke tax exemption to all Churches because of their political involvements. There is something fundamentally wrong when Churches are tax exempt, yet American citizens are denied equal rights under the Constitution.

Vote NO on Prop 8 in California
