Santa Ana: 'I'm not judging them, but my religion is against it'

Anthony Delos Santos, 26, and Jennifer Taylor, 24, of Garden Grove didn't realize when they joined a  reception after their wedding that it was to celebrate gay couples. The young newlyweds -- she in a white sun dress, he in a black suit -- said their religion bars them from accepting same-sex unions. “I’m not judging them, but my religion is against it,” said Delos Santos, who is a Jehovah's Witness.

The couple was married in the tiny chapel in the old county courthouse in Santa Ana, then went upstairs and posed for pictures while cutting into a cake that read, “Congratulations on your historic wedding day.” Whatever the reason for the reception, Taylor said, “It was nice; it makes it feel like the real thing.”

Sure, “I’m not judging them, but my religion is against it.” The same logic applies to "Hitler killed the Jews, not the fascists."

Hittler also killed a great amount of jehovah's witnesses. ever heard of the purple triangle? Hittler was a murderer. How is bealiving that the gay lifestyle is morally wrong compare to that? Dont make stupid comments/comparisons people
If you are gay, thats your decision. Dont expect everybody to accept your decisions or agree with them. Just like you have the freedom to be who you want to be, so do others (have the right to bealive what they want to bealive). I'll treat you with the respect that every person deserves. just dont ask me to accept and agree with your lifestily.

I'm not agains people having rights...if you want x person to get your SS or pension or whatever or have health/legal privileges you should have that right. But marriage, the union stablished by God should be/remain between a Man and a Woman.
