Question: Now that expensive militaristic fascism is going out, will these boards still retain their vitriol?

Also: So having sex that results in pregnancy is your definition of what marriage is about?

The raising a family part is nigh on irrelevant?



Why the special term and institution for something that hetero couples can and do engage in frequently without any special committment? So they have an easier time inducing pregnancy than infertile or homosexual couples do, but that alone doesn't deserve special aknowledgement. If that's all it took, there wouldn't be nearly as many babies in the world waiting for adoption.

I do not think this word means what he think it means.

Of course nobody is saying that because it's unconstitutional. As much as you'd like to tell gays what they're doing is wrong, you're not powerful enough and you can't.

Fine...you need to make sure fertility tests are part of the marriage license process. If one parent fails, no license for them, untill they undergo fertility treatment and things change.

After gay marriage is legalized, then that kind of draconian Conservative Evangelical inspired inquisition crap will matter as much as Bush Republicans...not at all.

Prop 8 is just a way for heteros who don't like gays to express that without having to say it out loud individually. The rest is just smoke and misdirection and blah blah. If they felt differently there would be no need for the conversation.

I do not think this word means what he think it means.

Just like with McCain's odd use of the word 'prisoner' (when he addressed a rally as 'fellow prisoners'), this has got my attention stuck. What did he mean ? What word was he going for ? How is this ... incidental ? accidental ? occasional ?

ARRgghhhh - I fell into a word ear-worm and can't get out !

Gays should be allowed to make the same mistakes as straights.

Survival of the species, and not merely taking care of other's offspring, is what makes marriage between a man and woman such a vital basis for humanity


To me, the selfless act of caring for ANOTHER'S offspring is a far more "human" gesture than caring for your own offspring.

So far, not one single person here has explained to me the how or why of gay marriage destroying the species. If you allow gay couples to marry, heteros can't fuck anymore? No one will be allowed to breed? I mean, what the hell? What is it that's so scary about it?

I think what's closer to the truth is that you actually think god is going to destroy the world if gays are accepted into it as "real people". Like all the hatred, bigotry, war, greed, and general horribleness wasn't enough to doom us all anyway - NOW god's really pissed, 'cause two dudes kissed and the people didn't kill them for it.

And that's about as rational an argument as any I've gotten AGAINST gay marriage.
