The Townhall gives their audiences some perspectives on the same sex marriage topic in the article " Three Views on Same Sex Marriage". The article of Mike Adams includes 3 different view points on how to look at the gay marriage topic from a conservative, a liberal, and a libertarian. He states that the same sex marriage debate is about politics, not about religious views. The article is rather balanced.

This story explained that it is not necessarily your religious beliefs that determine your view on the marraige amendment but it is your political standing that determines your views.

Same sex marriage has never ceased to be a polarizing topic. Both pros and cons dwell their arguments on religious teachings. To me, the sensitivity that surrounds this topic is so great, majorty of people choose to go sotto voce. For fear of being branded or put in a cartegory, people plainly refuse to participate in the jaw-jaw fiesta. See no evil say no evil hear no evil is the silent mantra of most people.

But for the media, I believe this issue would have ... More »
