I totally agree! This would have far more 'unmentioned' consequences than just a 'marriage' between two people. Don't ge fooled people. It is not about 'rights'. It's about the destruction of America from the inside out.

Wow, you decoded our secret agenda- congratulations! We're going to bring about the "destruction of America" by ......gasp!......committing to a monogamous relationship with the person we love; promising to care for one another till death do us part; raising our children in a loving home. Oooooh, so radical!

Maybe you could get Fux News to do a "breaking story"......

A contract has to be signed by all involved parties to be valid.

Therefore, all marriages are invalid contracts and always will be invalid contracts.

Yeah, my "play marriage" has outlasted all 3 of my straight sibling's "real marriages". All are on their 2nd or 3rd marriages, all being remarried to someone else with multiple marriages.
23 years of monogamous committment to each other- that's as real as it gets. There are still many people in this country that don't recognize inter-racial marriages as "real"- do you think I'll lose even a moment of sleep over it? Not likely. But it does give me great pleasure to "force" it on them against their will......

Good for you. If you can make it that long and still want to be married to each other that is great.

One thing that the Christian right doesn't want you to know is that Christians get divorced more than couples of other religions or non religious people. It seems to me that they should stop worrying about other people and start worrying about their own.

I am happy for you but quit trying to force you choice on the rest of us.

I'm not forcing you to marry someone of the same sex. That's entirely up to you.

See, unlike your side, when we get our "agenda" passed, YOU are still able to marry the person of your choice. Unfortunately the same can't be said when the bigots get their agenda passed.

Luckily for him other people don't have to recognize the marriage - only the state does.

The state can regonize anything they want, But if the state thinks that I am going to regonize same sex marriage. They got something coming, Because it aint going to happen.

So if the state tries to tell me that I have to give benefits to same sex couples who I employ. They can go to hell, Because it aint going to happen. Of course, I will never have any gay person working for me at all.

So fricken what....Do you want a trophy or something like that?

And unfortunately for you and the bigot community, marriage includes same-sex couples in 5 states with more to come.

Only in states that they didnt allow the people to voice their opinions. How does that 0 for 31 statistic sound? I thought so.....

'Decide' you're gay? Doesn't that go along with choice versus being 'born' that way?

I said if YOU decide you're gay, because you seem to believe it's a choice. What a moron.

Couldn't explain how gays getting married changed your marriage. Still waiting for an answer on that......

Really? Seems my same-sex marriage produced the exact same result as my Aunt & Uncle; they couldn't have kids the old-fashioned way either.

Nobody's perfect but when it comes to consistently not producing the same result, gay couples score perfectly.

That's okay I'm sure no gay person would want to work for you.

I'm straight and I wouldn't even want to work for you.

It's not just about you. If we open the door for one form on non-traditional marriage, we have to open it for ALL non-tradtional marriages. That is what will destroy us. We will have chaos and malfunction. This is what you all want. Our children will have to be taught that YOUR choices are the same as GOD's design.

It's been told to you a hundred times. I've read them. You simply dissmiss them as hate and bigotry, but what is being said to you IS the truth.

Gee, could there be a stronger endorsement of the need to pass ENDA (employment non-discrination). It's because of bigots like you that these laws need to be "forced" on the public.

I would never work for a bigot like you, but I would apply for a job just so I could sue you for discrimination.

You ARE attempting to 'force' your lifestyle on the rest of us. If same-sex marriage is supposed to be...why not until NOW has it been an issue. NO ancient civilizations have sanctioned same-sex marriages.

They revoked the 1st amendment in those 5 states? Really? I must have missed that.

Those people had the exact same opportunity as everyone else in their state to voice their opinions. Equality.

How should I know. I dont read the bible. Dont need to be religious to understand that gay marriage is wrong.

Guess then homophobes just tend to be stupid and uneducated. Figures.

Unfortunately for you and the gay community. You argument is wrong as well, Because marriage is defined between 1 man and 1 woman in 31 states.

That's why we have courts. To protect the rights of the minority against they tyranny of the majority.

Couple is definitely an acceptable term for any kind of pairing whether hetero or homo, married or unmarried, humans or animals. But when it comes to union, that of a man and a woman can never be equated to that of two men or two women because they will never produce the same results.
And when it comes to marriage, it's the union of a man and a woman that is the basis for this institution. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is a stupid circular argument. Rather like arguing we shouldn't legalize pot because pot is illegal.

When you have no argument, you bring up children.
And you have no evidence god exists.
