I don't think your really thought about that assertion...
Most importantly, it makes the word marriage meaningless.
....

How can a word be rendered meaningless?

Isn't the purpose of all words to label something?

Now, if you are trying to say that something will render your own marriage meaningless, or your own concept of marriage meaningless, that sounds more like a personal problem.

You can't blame others for that sort of thing.

We've asked you before where your fruit and nut theory is codified into current marriage law.

You have not yet supplied any valid references.

Lesbian couples rank last, behind single parents. Simply the fact jack.

There is no valid peer-reviewed study that shows any such thing, as you well know.

You need to explain, in detail, how allowing those lesbian couples to legally marry would make it worse for their children. How does having legally married parents make any child's life worse?

When talking about marriage and children here, we aren't talking about who is allowed to raise a child - that's already encoded in law and isn't going to change.

We are only discussing whether or not having legally married parents is beneficial or harmful to a child.

Make your case.

Valid stats only, please.

Spring break,Mardi gras etc... are NOT Straight Pride Parades.

What does any parade have to do with the millions of gay people who did not attend it?
Do we also prevent straight people form legally marrying because of "girls gone wild" videos, spring break footage, and Mardi gras celebrations?

Other than being nutty and fruity, the bitch has nothing.

I'm ashamed to have to be forced to ride around with this asshat.

Your response has no bearing on my question.

[Googly Bear]

You are correct.
Those parades ARE quite indefensible.

So, basically, you're babbling randomly. Okay then...

[Googly Bear]

HA HA.
But you eventually will need to answer for this.
Your community is being painted with a broad brush on this
issue. Sorry, I don't mean to make you late for the next parade.

Address the issue? Okay:

Illinois approved same-sex civil unions in 2010. Last week, the Illinois Senate approved gay marriage. In the coming weeks, the Illinois House will approve gay marriage, then the Governor will sign the law makng Illinois the 10th state to allow gay marriage.

And there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Feel better?

[Googly Bear]

So What are you wearing to the parade( if anything )?

We can all celebrate and show our TRUE colors.

Your citation is not the latest, and as for the rest: http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/10/30/1110...
Ever heard of open marriage? Not every marriage is about monogamy, and that's not illegal.

Sorry, I don't accept hissy fit gay twirl articles from a GLBT magazine. Please reference a serious source.

An 'open' marriage is no marriage at all.

Silly girl.

Smile.

What does free speech have to do with marriage?

If you read the context silly girl, you'd know the response was about the free expression of religion.
