Idiot.
Here's the rub, you live in a country where a modicum of personal freedom still exists, at least for the moment in time.
What care YOU if the State recognizes it.
YOU do not have to, no one will make you, and no one really cares if you do or don't.
So just pack up your thinly veiled petty personal hatreds and emotional baggage, and do the smart thing, just sniff in derision, state that YOU, personally, do not recognize it as such, and be on your merry, ehe ?
Damn folks are boneheaded sometimes.

Fred,
Usually I am in agreement with you...however.
I care, and so should you. Im surprised that you are not with me on this one.
I am against there being laws stating that I MUST recognize it as a "marriage".
Personal, petty, hatreds? Such as? Please enlighten me.
Other than that, frak off. I don't care what people do in the privacy of their homes, to or with each other. Not my business.
I do care, however, when you try and push your shit on me. I don't have to believe or parrot what is "socially acceptable" or P.C.

Wulf,
do you at all see a double standard here?
While I appreciate your liberetarian sense of state not being allowed to dictate to you what marriage is, wouldn't you agree that if the gay population at large didn't like having to accept heterosexual marriage in the face of their own being rejected, that the state would be forcing them to accept its definition of marriage? and wouldn't that fly in the face of your belief that the state should stay out of it?
You still have yet to state that all state sanctioned marriages should be known only as 'civil unions', at which point we could debate semantics,
sadly we're still debating equality

Righteous,
I could make a crack about seperate-but-equal, however I don't think you would understand that I was joking.
If gays get married at a church that allows it, then I guess you can call it marriage. Fair enough?

yeah, definitely,
and I promise you that if the ever issue arises where people are demanding that the pope marry gay people in the vatican, or that or some similarly bizarre entitlement, I'll be with you on the separation of church and state issue. They have no business telling churches how to run their affairs, and that is mutual.
By the way....you said gay and crack in the same post...heheh
heh

Any idea, no matter how much you may agree with it, can be radicalized and employed as an excuse for violence. There is no such thing as a righteous or untouchable philosophy, and when you start thinking that there is, you have become an extremist.- Finn Mac Cumhal

Okay. So you are a bigot then. Or at least use all the codewords.
