MSNBC -- "The Place For Politics?"
It looks like MSNBC caved into McCain's complaints, which will anger liberals. David Gregory? FOX news didn't get to be the number-one cable news network by being dull and balanced.

Keith Olbermann's Prop 8 Special Comment: It's "About The Human Heart" (VIDEO)

How is allowing gay marriage hurting anyone? It depends on your perception of homosexuality. If you are a reasonably compassionate person, you either view it as a healthy expression of human sexuality, or you view it as sexual brokenness in need of healing. Neither perception is hateful nor condemning towards homosexuals. Simply put, if you believe homosexuality is healthy, there is nothing to heal and the law should honor your union. However, if you believe it is a form of sexual brokenness, it is harmful for the law to honor it because that promotes the falsehood that there is nothing to heal, preventing those in need of healing from seeking or receiving it.
Some who don't think of homosexuality as completely healthy don't want to pass "judgment" on someone else's sexual preference. Why? "That's their own personal choice, they aren't hurting anyone, and who am I to judge? Everyone should just love and accept each other..." This reasoning implies the only ways to love and accept homosexuals is to agree their lifestyle is healthy and best for them, or to avoid caring about that part of them altogether. I believe that acceptance, love, and compassion can happen without having to believe that lifestyle is the healthiest one for them -- even if they disagree. Discerning a lifestyle as unhealthy does not equate to hatred and condemnation, and I feel taking the passive approach of "not judging" is actually more apathetic than compassionate -- it's their life, why should I care?
