RE: Wilde Stein remains vigilant …

I’m just curious why there is a LGBTQIA flag being hung and not an American flag?

Aren’t we all American? Why was that flag not hung in order to unite the campus and rather a flag with the goal of dividing it?

I feel sorry for those who because of their religious beliefs now must suffer from an unsafe learning enviroment. We have had many people complain of hate speech being used against them at USM and it takes away from what college is there for: an education.

RE: Revs —A team without a home

Excellent article. As a Revs season ticket holder, it is hard to look at what other teams have in MLS, and then keep a happy face when I go to a game at Gillette Stadium.

RE: ‘Yes on 1’ voters mummified …

In the United States, religious officials can perform marriage ceremonies, however without a signed government-issued marriage license, neither spouse can take advantage of the legal benefits of marriage such as being included on one spouse’s health insurance policy, tax breaks, the ability to speak on behalf of the spouse should the other become incapacitated in some way, etc.

That’s is what [Question 1] was about, not whether two homosexuals are going to “besmirch” your religious institutions with their taboo union.

Samantha is right; this [vote] has driven another nail into marriage’s coffin.
