    This is just sick. It's depraved sexual behavior and it's promotion by the Democrat party and the press is deplorable.

    VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT IS GAY

    DON'T BE GAY.

    But if you do vote for a Democrat expect more of this depravity.

    Does it make people feel better when they insult others??? Is that a way to communicate?? What are you in kindergarten?

    conservative latina sounds like she's frustrated b/c her own marriage is on the brinks...novel!

    who are we to judge anyone else? last time I checked, no one could strike someone dead because they didn't take care of their children...

    I don't comprehend how our country still allows people to prohibit marriage between two other people who truly care about each other. As a straight woman, I have no desire to wed anybody, but I have that option. I always think that if I would have been born into a gay world, I would not want anybody prohibiting me from marrying a boy. What makes us (straight people) think that we can prohibit the same for gays? Our country claims to be against discrimination, but it seems to me that it's all a farce.

    and to add to my last comment. Heterosexual couples have a 60% divorce rate. I saw that was neglected in your arguements.

    Being a gay male, I am strictly monogomous, I want to find a partner and live out my life in peace. Nothing more than that. I want the same rights as everyone else. If it bothers people to call it "marriage" than call it a civil union. We just want the same rights as everyone else. We're still people, and we deserve the same rights.

    conservative latina said @ 10/08/2008 5:03:57 PM "I believe their [gay males] lifestyle demeans what marriage stands for..." Yes, heaven forbid committed gay couples have equal legal rights as straight couples. The sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage, for instance, would be destroyed. If you don't want all of the heterosexual world to be generalized in a demeaning way, do not do so to the homosexual world. And conservative Latina (such things exist?), perhaps the will of the majority ought to be enforced in each state. I???m sure many southern states would be happy to curtail the rights of your people, based on their majority opinion, right?

    God loves everyone. Why should any human being have more or less legal rights than another?

    People always talk about gay marriage as an "equal right". Gays have all the rights of straight couples. In other words, gays CAN marry just like I did. Gays choose a different path that is NOT marriage.. If you want all the rights (and responsibilities) of marriage, then get married (that requires an opposite sex partner by definition). If you chose a different living arrangement, then accept the consequences. Gays are like someone buying a dog and insisting that the rest of the world must accept it as a cat. You can howl all you want, but it won't change that marriage is the union of two DISSIMILIAR people, i.e. opposite sex.

    There is a middle ground in this debate that no one is talking about.

    The government shouldn't be defining what marriage is - the religious instituions should be. The United States wasn't concerned about marriage licenses and tracking unions until Social Security came around and spouses had to be verified for social security payouts, etc. To the government, historically, defining marriage was more about legal and property rights than giving validity to a religious institution.

    So a solution could be that governments get out of defining marriage, instead, they define civil unions. Leave defining marriage to the religious institutions, so if you believe in gay marriage, then you can join a congregation that shares your views, etc.

    So if two people are financially and legally dependent on each other, they should be able to enter into a civil union. It should have absolutely nothing to do with the nature of their relationship. If it's a mother and daughter that have lived together their entire lives, or a man and a women who do not want to get married in a church - whatever. I don't need the government to validate my marriage by calling it such - I just need its support in granting my husband legal and financial rights if something would ever happen to me. However, I know this will never happen - it makes way too much sense.

      I think you make several valid points. I support equal treatment of all people under the law, regardless of if they are gay, straight or bisexual.

      Indeed it does.

        Hey Phoenix:
        Are you from Phenix? I sold property out there for over 25 years.. I miss it, but I hear from a lot of my clients that stay in touch with me from Phoenix,, Not one of them ever cared that I was a lesbian.. It is about how you treat other people, not who you sleep with.

  • Posted By: joe 6pack @ 09/24/2008 5:57:02 PM

    Every state where laws were passed to allow gay marriage was controled by the Democrats.

    VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT IS GAY


    DON'T BE GAY......



  • Posted By: gramiamx6kids @ 09/17/2008 4:20:22 PM

    Hey sticks03, what do you care who is married to who? it does not effect you and I .. I happen to know many gay and lesbian people, some that I would trust more then a lot of the straight people,
    Don't be so judgemental, be more open minded like I am... I do not mind that you are straight..

  • Posted By: sticks03 @ 09/17/2008 12:58:10 PM

    The instituiton of a family is in disaray already. The concept of marriage is beetween a Man and a Woman. Not between two men or two women.

  • Posted By: sticks03 @ 09/17/2008 12:56:46 PM

    The institution of the family is not in full force with same sex marriages. If a couple want to live together thats fine, but a marriage is set to be between a man and a woman.

    I like the Democrats non-discriminatory platform towards gay marriage. It's more progressiveand in line with the rest of the world and the majority of Americans. If gay people want to get married, why should the federal govenrment get in the way. If people want guns, why can't they get married or serve in the armed forces like they can in Europe? The whole Republican "Shove Mary Cheney in the Closet" mentality is such an embarrassing way to handle gay rights issues in this country!

  • Posted By: trytrac @ 09/12/2008 9:24:35 PM

    If you don't like gay marriage, DON'T GET ONE. As much as the fundies hate it, this is one they are going to lose. People in the younger generations simply don't fear homosexuality as much as their narrow minded parents and grand parents, and one day, each and every one of those constitutional amendments in all of those states will fall, one by one. It may take a long time, but as an adult, the freedom to love and marry another adult of one's choosing will someday be a freedom everyone will enjoy.

    I have never had a negative experience with openly gay men and women. It was the closeted condemning homophobe(men and women) that plagued us as kids. If it is out in the open I am unafraid. I can't imagine loving someone like I have loved the men in my life (I am a woman) and not be able to show affection, walk hand in hand or get married. It is so difficult to find love in this world, why limit love and it's capabilities?
