Is Banning Gay Marriage Constitutional?

[yamaha0343]

If we let lesbians marry, just think of how clean their dishes would be!

I find it very funny that someone can condemn another to burning in hell then turn around and request that same person be respectful of your beliefs.

Agreed.

It is funny, if you read the 1st page of replies and then skip to read the very last page.

My $00.02 is anyone should be allowed to get married to anyone. How can we expect to keep the Gov't out of our weapon closet but allow them into the bedroom? they deserve the right to be miserable just like the rest of us.

I don't think this is about the legality or illegality of homosexual acts.

The original question was about marriage. For the homos, it's all about tax breaks and health insurance; in other words, it's all about money. All the BS about wanting to show the world they are committed to one another is just that; BS.

You're making a lot of assumptions.

You're making a lot of assumptions.

Or just an observation, in which then would not be assumptions, but facts based on his own observations.

He clearly made the assumption that every gay couple wants to get married solely for the tax benefits, etc, that come with it.

Not really an assumption but like Hitman said, an observation. I have personally seen gays on TV boo-hooing about how unfair it was that the mean heterosexuals got the tax credit for being married and could put their spouse on their health insurance.

Hey, what if a couple single heterosexual guys want to pose as homos and get married for the bennies? Would that be fraud? How would you know? You going to go over and check them out?

Look, it's obviously against nature and just not right. You're either a pitcher or you're a catcher but you can't be both.

I used the burning in Hell example to prove a point and stated it as my opinion. You stated your disbeliefs of God as if it were fact. You cannot prove there is not a God. It's funny what a bunch of titty babies athiest progressive liberals are. They can bash Christianity all day long. But when you offend them they get the "how dare you" attitude.

Maybe not your nature, however you have NO right to prohibit a man or women from joining together in such a way. It in no way affects you, or your family. It does not effect your property. You may have a different definition of "right" than others, but that does not give you the right to enforce your will upon them. It is not for you, or the State, to decide. It is up to a church and the individuals involved to figure out what is the best for them.

Does being an atheist automatically a make you a "titty baby progressive liberal"?

Nick, this happens everyday though dude. There's no middle ground, things either benefit society or tear it down. How does Homosexuality benefit society?

We HAVE to police ourselves within exceptable moral ranges, otherwise the world would be even crazier if we all did what we thought was right. So how do we do it? For now the Ten Commandments rule our Judicial System and have been doing so for quite sometime.

So you're saying it should be legal for any two people to become married in the legal sense; any combination of two people, whether they're men, women, or both?

Seriously, do you think it's OK for any two people to form a legal union to take advantage of the benefits normally reserved for married couples?

 

[swamper]

When two gay men or two gay women can increase the population of a deserted island by one within 9 months without any outside intervention, they can be married. Until then, call it civil unions with the benefits thereof.

While I love discussions like this, I'll just throw out this little tidbit.

Homosexuality can be found in over 1500 animal species and is thoroughly documented in at least 500.

Of course, to the best of my knowledge, other than humans, none of those species have a holy book to explain the error of their ways.

It makes those two individuals happy and content with that aspect of their life. I would say a happy society is better than an unhappy one?

Titty baby atheist progressive liberal?

I suppose I could brand everyone that believes in god as a radical, rabidly conservative lunatic who can't fathom that this world is all there is to it and therefore rely upon the crutch of religion just to get them through the day all the while drowning themselves in their own self importance and talking to an imaginary friend.

Painting with broad brushes is fun, isn't it?

In one word: Yes. I have no problem with it whatsoever. The right to enter a voluntary contract with another, which is marriage, should NEVER be infringed by the state.

Happy? Content? These are spiritual states of mind(Un-Natrualistic) not benefits of a forward moving species.

In nature, how does homosexuality benefit the human race?




And Paul Animals do this why? The answer to that doesn't even match up at all with why humans are doing it. Wonder why that is ... Are we different from animals?
