The pilgrims came to the New World to escape prosecution of the English church, that can be found in my history books
The pilgrims didn't write the Constitution. . . .
I didn't say that, but their descendants did (in the way that people followed the pilgrims, and their following generations did). But that is a minuscule statement. Once again here is the link:
www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html
could you please point out where in the constitution that it supports your statement.

I already friggin' did. . .it is unconstitutional because it prevents a person to pursue happiness. Also, gay marriage doesn't violate the equal rights of another, and whilst it doesn't directly state it, gay marriage is something that is in the pursuit of happiness for homosexual couples, and denying that is denying 1,138 federal rights, so it violates the pursuit of happiness statement AND the freeedom one.
OK, first you need to chillax -- now let me straighten out a few things for you. The Declaration of Independence was singed by the second continental congress, and sent to the King of England, essentially telling him that they were free men, and the king was going against their freedom. This is the document that contains the phrase, and I quote from www.ushistory.org:
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 pursuit of Happiness
This document
DOES NOT give us our laws. Then towards the end of the Revolution, another document was made and signed by congress, this was the Constituition of these United States of America. In it they outlined the new government, later on though, they found they had to make amendments, these were called the Bill of Rights. So when you say that it is unconstitutional to deny 'rights' to the gays, then you are saying that there is something in the constitution that allows these people their 'rights', and now I ask you, will you please point it out, otherwise, your argument that is unconstitutional, does not hold any value since its false.

As for the Equality Matters site, first of all it is a biased source, it is clearly advocating for gay 'rights', hence the propaganda that put on their site will be so to influence your mind towards their cause. Even so, I clicked on the "view more" for the rights and they listed less than 100, which 100<1138 in my book, nowhere on that site did they have a complete broken down list. They more clearly state 1,138
REASONS which do not equal rights in my book.
Now for the other site, I first clicked on the
⢠What causes a person to have a particular sexual orientation?
If you are looking somewhere else, please let me know, under this a short paragraph follows:
There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation.
BAM! first sentence they clearly state this there is no absolute truth yet about whether it is nature or nurture. Next significant sentence is:
Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.
I even highlighted the key word in this phrase, THINK, THINK, THINK. Thinking is not a fact for which you can base an argument, these scientists have not yet made a logical deduction based on the scientific method as to the causes for homosexuality.
P.S. Sorry, it wasn't until after I made my post that I realized that you had in fact provided the link, I beg your pardon, I acted prematurely.
