    I never realized until this discussion thread, the extent to which homosexuals hated Christians and Black Americans. For all the "tolerance" they plead for themselves, they sure don't extend the same to others.

    Get a GRIP America! Of all the things to freak out over and this is the subject chosen??? Are you serious right now??? Marriage is not a religious matter. IT'S NOT !!!!!! Its between two people who vow to be together as long as they both shall live, or how or what ever they had said to each other in their vows. It is a civil ceremony between to people and frankly its an honor to ever be invited, and bere witness to such a greater love between two people who want to devote their lives to each other. Whether it be the same sex or the opposite. Who are you ( racist-biggots, and religious #**@**##!) to say anything about people who love each other and want family and friends to share in their happiness. This is right up there although a few yards shy of those crazy M**##f'ers who crash funerals for our fallen soldiers!! That really pisses me off! Its the same, people, religious ass's who have to be heard out loud and proud and they are right and the rest of the world is wrong! BullS#@t!!! Like I said of all the things to freak out over it has to be Gay Marriage! Get a GRIP!!!! Look around people there is much much more to freak out over!!! EYE's OPEN MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!!!!!!

    GUYS DONT YOU GET IT??

    pedophiles are just a small disenfranchised minority who share a strong love for children

    mostly...its men loving young boys

    little do they know if they just wait another 5-6 years....they can marry those little boys

    thanks to a godless liberal agenda....

    every real democrat knows that there are two things wrong with out party...

    amnesty advocates and gay rights proponents....

    just like the republican party is unfortunately linked with big oil and racism...

    catering to the gay agenda may be easy for some of you now....in the age of will and grace on the WB

    but in 20 years....when the science is available to give gay men the opportunity to birth children....

    you wont be screaming equal rights then....youlle scream abomination!...but itlle be too late

    because thanks to some of you.....we all have the equal right to rewrite mankind as we know it

    First and foremost people should understand that marriage is a civil ceremony, some people simply choose to have weddings in churches. Also, the Old Testament was written as laws governing the Jewish people over 2000 years ago. Not all people then were Jews, nor are all people Jews or Christians now so the idea of marriage as originally a state of religious being is absurd. Most bigots break out the bible argument...well America wasn't founded with the bible as our official governing document, it's the constitution. We can't discrimnate based on religious beliefs...that is one of the exact reasons this country was founded. It's criminal and completely against the truth of Christianity. How does anyone else's rights define another persons marriage. What kind of sad limited mind and heart defines a part of their life by denying other people their right to that same part? I'll tell you who...bigots, people who are ignorant of the true history of the bible, and Christianity in general, and haters. That is who. And btw, I am a staight, white. 47 yo male from Texas, raised Christian.

    Divorce among straights is 5o percent clearly they are in no position to speak of the holiness of marriage,these are the same people that are more upset of same sex marriage but abortion is legal.Ever hear of a condom or birth control pill.What is between 2 consenting adults is their business,how are 2 people of the same sex going to effect a straight persons life,its not.Seperation of church and state,if I want your religion I will go to your church,this country is not just Christian its multi religion and no religion.The problem occurs
    when these religious do gooders feel the need to share or more like dominate the world with their religious beliefs(terroists)and force them on everyone .If everyone worried about htemselves instead of minding everyone elses business whos sleeping with who the world would be better off!Hypocrites,god will judge not them,who are they but a human??With sin!!!

  • Posted By: gayisthenewblack @ 12/07/2008 1:42:23 PM

    This is totally stupid. Gay marriage should be legal... Seriously... You can't control who you love... Though in Leviticus it says you cannot marry man and man and woman and woman, there has been alot of contreversy on that matter. There was a part of the bible when a man raped another man. He had sinned because he had raped someone, not that it was another man... people should be able to love without fearing

    Wow there is a lot of hatred and ignorance in society today. "Go to hell"... are you kidding me? That's disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself 52005snak

    JKSR you didn't miss the fine print . It is plainly spoken of in the BIBLE that marraige is between a man and a woman. But at the same time we are to love all people and pray for them not condemm them. After all we are all sinners that need the forgiveness of Jesus for our sins.

  • Posted By: s2005snak @ 12/07/2008 12:52:43 PM

    YES ON 8!!!! GO TO HELL YOU GAY BASTARDS!!!

  • Posted By: Roy Rogers @ 12/07/2008 12:47:53 PM

    Newsweek is publishing "gay propaganda". The majority voted YES on Prop 8. America is still a Christian nation with a strong sense of morality. If that offends you, stay and "deal with it" or leave. It's a free country after all.

    How does someone force their lifestyle on someone, unless they are openly having sexual intercourse in front of you? Showing affection to a partner is normal, you see heterosexual couples holding hands, hugging and kissing openly in the world; How would this be any different if a couple of the same sex was doing the same thing? We are all God's children, or did I miss the fine print? I think that couples no matter what gender or sexual orientation should have the right to be accepted and recognized. Religion is "forcing their lifestyle" on gays; hmmm a little hypocritical don't you think?

  • Posted By: dinka49 @ 12/07/2008 12:20:36 PM

    People in California, Arizona, and Florida voted to keep marriage between 1 man and 1 woman. The majority won or doesn't the majority vote count anymore. It seems most doesn't want the majority vote to count unless it goes a certain way. Just because you didn't win in this election doesn't mean you will never have another chance to vote on the subject again. But don't try to change the way the Constitution is to suit you.

    Yea, you mean like organized religion? good, solid response............Christians should be feared as much as you fear leaving the confines of the USA. ....................Gay's are human's , we as people should'nt even debate this. Look at Canada light years ahead of the good old biggoted USA. You Christ-o-breeders are forcing your ways on people and take advantage of the desperate, poor and jobless believing that you are going to be saved................."Christians, screwing up man one guilt at a time"

    Whoaaaa... My many Christian, Jewish and Muslim friends... True enough this country was founded to, among many issues, attain religious freedoms. And it is true the Founding Fathers (and mothers) did have the Christian Bible as their side... Christ (remember Him??) did say... "...render unto Cesar, that which is Cesar's"... Now in that simple parable, we are commanded to make sure the laws, (the benefits and the costs of this land) are to be available to, and borne by all... Any government benefit to those who wish to avail themselves of a union should be allowed to, AND to receive the same treatments...
    Having said all this, both Christ and the voters of this country have been pretty up front, that a "Marriage" union is one that is between 1 man and 1 woman...
    To the gay community: I stand on your side when we speak of rights, I, however, will not allow the gay community to bastardize the term marriage...
    Can we still be friends and co-supporters, or is it ONLY YOUR WAY ?????

      I will agree with you that every person is free to live his life as he wants, as long as it does not hurt someone else and the homo's do have the right. But they don't have the right to force their lifestyle on anyone else....wanting to be accepted as right.

  • Posted By: kingjudd @ 12/07/2008 11:45:59 AM

    sorry you college educated journalist. The media is once again propagrating a myth. Most journalist are so deluted to what really goes on in the real world. They feel the need to make up stories, so they can feel important . If the above journalist was so concerned about the homosexual lifestyle, then go study the effects of it on the people that are involved. But don't tells us people are excepting it, because in reality maybe 1% at the most engage in same-sex intercourse. MTV ,Nickeloden ,Oprah and hollywood are pushing this as well as Teen and pre-teen sex on America and the world. Soon the Democrats( marxist) will be in control, and they will control the journalists.

  • Posted By: newvoyage @ 12/06/2008 3:28:41 PM

    So you apparently think that since you're "disgusted" by someone's "lifestyle," you have the right to deny them equality under the law. You clearly need to go back and reconsider your opinion, because you are fantastically ignorant about the Constitution and the values upon which America was built. It's about "equality" regardless of your private feelings about any person's legal behavior. Your calling being gay a "sexual choice" is laughably ignorant. Sexual orientation is not a "choice." By any chance, do you live in a cabin in the woods?

    • Posted By: halifax@gmail.com @ 12/07/2008 11:35:55 AM

      It is a choice!!! Get out from under your rock and stop believeing everything that makes you feel good about yourself....see it as what it is it's your desires and they are not right. I might desire to have an affair with someone,( which I don't ) but because that is a desire of my flesh does not make it right....Why is it that you people don't see anything wrong with anything any more. WRONG WRONG WRONG.....Not by my
      standard but God's...

    • Posted By: halifax@gmail.com @ 12/07/2008 10:50:03 AM

      I have the right to disagree with you and tell you that you live in sin and God is disguested with your sin. God said it not me. But that gives me the right to be disguseted with it also. And as Christians we would like to raise our children in an atmoshere of truth, not the lie that our enemy is decieveing people like you with. We are desiring good not bad things. You are just blinded by the enemy and you don't know the truth or you do and choose to go against it.

  • Posted By: justagirlinlovewithagirl @ 12/06/2008 6:32:24 PM

    Because we want and are asking for equal rights it's called whining? and because we want what we deserve...it's called attacking?...wow i think there needs to be a better choice of words, better yet maybe you shouldn't be so bias! ...you don't see homo's going around being bias against hetero's...to each their own! besides is there a book with laws saying whats right and whats wrong??...NO!...because there is no right and wrong!

    • Posted By: halifax@gmail.com @ 12/07/2008 11:16:52 AM

      Yes, there is a book of what is right and what is wrong. BIBLE read it and you will have to realize that all this dialogue of living by our feeling is a total lie. We all have feelings and they are decieving. Just get you a Bible and read if you desire truth you can find it. Love is totally not what people see it as being. God is Love, that is from this book I ask you to read.

    Comment: Contrary to the opinion of so many people there can be no separation of church and state, our laws are all based on bibical principles (with the exception of abortion). As it should be, when we start moving away from these principles we get in trouble as a nation. And those who say that we are not a nation set up and based on these principles all I can say is study it out for yourself, don't take everything that you hear or read on the internet as truth. The only truth we have is from God, read your bible and you will find the answer to the questions, and decision's we must make. What's right way to live and what is sin and temptation. Please don't believe what other people tell you. We must all study the gudeline God gave us to live by to know for ourselves how to live our lives. We all as individual's are and will be held accountable before God for how we live our lives. We can't blame someone else because it is our responsiblity to find the answer . And when it is written in the all inspired Word of God we just can't disagree with that. We can't take the Bible and believe the parts that fit our lives, we must fit our lives to the Wors of God. Love is not always tellling someone they are right or supporting our loved one in a sinful life style, that is not what the Word teaches. We either believe in all the Bible says, or we don't believe any of it. If we pick what we want and say the rest isn't true, is only saying well thats not what I accept because it doesn't fit my lifestyle. Love is not sex and can not be defined as such. We are not born as anything but human beings with a freedom to decide if we live according to the principles of the Bible or not. If we are believer's or not. It is our choice, but it is also my commission and every other Christian to tell other's about the truth, you can accept or reject, but please read the Bible and decide for yourself, don't live by other uninformed peoples ideas. Because they are just that another human beings ideas....you need to know what the God of the Universe has to say about life and how we need to live it.
