I know it is not supported by the church and such, but politics is even more corrupt then a pc virus, so why let the gays not have their legal rights?Why is gov makin such a big fus about gay marriage?
A basic conservative desire to reverse Gideon v. Wainwright and Loving v. Virginia.
The bible makes no such statement that marriage is between a man and a woman, probably because the writers back in the Dark Ages never though of it otherwise. And when religion ruled the world, it was known as the Dark Ages for VERY good reason!
The cons can keep their religion out of my government, thank you very much! If Barry Goldwater didn't have a problem with gay rights (he supported their right to serve openly in the military, something that most Neo-Cons refuse to admin) then the cons need to drop the issue. If you don't wish to marry someone of the same sex then by all means don't! Nobody is forcing anyone to marry anyone else in the US and the state has no right to limit marriage absent a scientific basis to the contrary, such as barring incestuous relationships or child endangerment.
The dim-witted claim that it will reduce the population is absurd on its face and is so typical of small-minded conservatives. Banning a marriage is NOT going to force a single gay person to marry someone of the opposite sex merely for the purposes of procreation. Plenty of gays raise families through adoption or surrogacy.Why is gov makin such a big fus about gay marriage?
It's ridiculous.
Also anyone who says that civil unions are the same thing, well I analogize that to them saying segregation based on race is the same thing. Because you know what, separate but equal is by definition not equal.
Who cares what the Bible defines it as. The same people who use that strict interpretation fail to stone their children when they disrespect them, or stone people for wearing two different fabrics, or leather on the sabbath.
EDIT: Paula, actually there are a couple of States that have done it. Also, marriage is not a concept, it is a word and a legal contract. In the bible marriage was a contract between a man, a woman, and that woman's father. So....
First, gays do not have ';legal rights'; to marry.
Second, if Keith Olbermann is in favor of something, then it is probably a BAD idea.
Third, throughout the millennia over which the concept of ';marriage'; has developed, it has always been opposite-sexed (it included relationships such as one man/one woman, one man/several women, several men/one woman, and several men/several women).
This concept of ';marriage'; has been embodied in both religion AND law.
At no time was a same-sex relationship included in the concept of ';marriage.';
If same-sex people want a relationship similar to ';marriage';, let them go to their Legislature and request that a new concept be defined (e.g., civil unions), rather than demand that they be included in the concept of ';marriage';.
Note - In the U.S. there are NO States where the voters OR the Legislature have allowed same-sex ';marriage';, it has only been imposed by judicial fiat.
The fuss has to do with tradition and the definition of the word marriage. The bible says marriage is between a man and a women as does websters dictionary. So this is what Christians believe. As far as equal rights, most of us Christians have no problem if gays call it anything other then marriage. A civil union with all the same rights is fine with me and a good thing. What is not right in my eyes and many others is with the word marriage. That's it in a nut shell.
Because it promotes gayness LOL Gayness is wrong or there would not be any controversy.I mean are we making a big deal about men and women getting married NO because they are not gay and it dosnt raise an eyebrow.Most gay men are petifiles and will go after young boys Just like older str8 men love younger women. Does it make sense to you. Peter puffing is wrong if you have a peter of your own.I mean I dont have a shirt that says '; Hetrosexuall and Proud'; because really who cares.What if people who drink their own pee want to get married.Would they get a shirt that says '; I drink my own Pee'; and if they did would YOU make a big deal about it??I mean if a person wants to drink their own pee its their choice isnt it.What if people who had sexuall fantasies about banging a nun hung out at churchs with shirts on that said '; Iwant to bang a NUN'; woulkd that be wrong?? I mean they cant help it if they want to bang a nun, they were Quote '; BORN THAT WAY'; thats why its a big deal because if we allow these fruitcakes to marry then some other group of donkey ******* will want to marry how bout we keep it simple if gay people want to marry then so be it just keep it quiet like i do I dont have a shirt that says I love my wifes cookie and eat it everyday because really WHO CARES!!!!!!!!
I don't understand it. Marriage was originally a state institution, not a religious intstitution. I am all for gay people getting married. I believe in equality and if people are in love, how can I deny them marriage? How can ANYONE have the right to deny them marriage? It's a sad thing.
I am generally against gay marriage. However, after I saw this, I was forced to re-think my position a little.

The population would go down! Gay marriages=no kids! it is a known fact, also they don't want certain states to boom into a huge population of gays!
