Commentary on Tolerating Intolerance

First of Andrea, I'd like to say that I love San Francisco and I catch myself day dreaming of chowder in a sourdough bread bowl all the time.  Now that that is out of the way, we can get to your blog post.

I absolutely agree with your position that homosexuals should have the same right to be in a legally bound relationship.  It is hard to imagine that this is still an issue.  In a "free" society people should have the right to pick a partner and live their life how they choose.  If no one is being harmed, what's the big deal?  It feels like homosexuality is becoming more accepted by the majority of people in this country.  On the flip, people are becoming more polarized against homosexuality (I believe) with the advent of the internet.  The net allows people with similar ideas and morals to organize and influence other people towards their beliefs, for better or worse.

The only criticism I could muster is that, no where in the Constitution does it specifically state that there must be a "separation of church and state", rather it has been argued that it is implied in Constitution.
