The creator knows best

Sat., April 14, 2012

The March 30 front page article regarding the City Council jumping on the bandwagon by sponsoring an upcoming resolution supporting gay marriage caught my attention.

Mike Allen’s quote, “The Constitution says all are created equal” as his basis for support of this resolution is interesting. It is a fact that people are created either male or female. Furthermore, our creator defined marriage as the uniting of a male and female (just since the beginning of time, mind you).

I guess Gov. Chris Gregoire, Jon Snyder (who is sponsoring the resolution) and Mike Allen know more than the creator what is in the best interest of society! Maybe they should stick with the issues of running our city!
