As we approach our 60th wedding anniversary, my wife and I have never been harmed in any way by homosexual individuals' or couples' actions or lifestyles. Neither have our siblings, children nor grandchildren.
It seems ironic that the largest group supporting Question 1 by fiat do not allow their pulpit spokesmen to actively participate in the cause they espouse — one man and one woman.
It seems tragic that Catholic church officials should spend more than a quarter of a million dollars in order to deny two people the right to affirm their love, when that amount, given to a charity such as the Good Shepherd Food-Bank would be multiplied three-fold and feed thousands of hungry, needy people.
While none of us may know how Jesus would vote on Question 1, I am confident that, in his loving kindness, he would not condemn or rebuke me when I vote "no" on Question 1.
