got a problem with gay rights?

A marriage is a union in the eyes of god and in the eyes of society between a man and a woman.

A commitment ceremony is nothing.

Are you married, i have been, about 55% of all married couples divorce one another around 0,5% kill their better half...

A commitment ceremony before a god you do not believe in, (87%) is that cool?
 
The state of California offers same sex "partner" benefits for it's employees like you're married. So does Disney and many other companies. In 20 years I suspect this will be alright nationwide and even marriage since the rest of the country is about 20 years behind california on everything.
 
Bad argument

EXACTY, and there is all it is to it, gay, lesbian, black, white, brown, red... whatever... the same rights apply to EVERYONE...


This is why:

A person has no CHOICE in being born of a particular race. A person does have a choice in who he/she has sex with. There are a few people who feel that they are "born into the wrong body", but they are called "transexuals" and are many times NOT gay (of course some are buy many are not!) So it is not the same.

but you just HAD to tell ATOT?

I am writing on the subject, and you don't know me. 😉

They have a choice about who they have sex with but not who they love.

Los Angeles, California) A chain of mid sized newspapers has become the first publisher to order all of its papers to print gay and lesbian commitment announcements. Freedom Communications Inc began the announcements in its flagship paper, "The Orange County [Calif.] Register," and this week extended the policy to all its papers. The company owns more than thirty newspapers in 11 states, including "The [Alton, Ill.] Telegraph," the "Brownsville [Texas] Herald," and "The [Panama City, Fla.] News Herald." "This is another huge step for gay and lesbian couples," said Joan M. Garry, executive director for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). link 🙂 Another step in the right direction...equality.

Horrible. I know what newspapers I'm not buying.

Fvck ya

Come on people lets start a straight pride parade!

Pushin brown is wrong, the chocolate starfish should be exit only. Let them be gay maybe it will sspread aids faster and they can all die MUWAHAHA. But on aa more serious note i do believe nature is trying to kill them off. It used to be that people thought this was wrong now its like worse to say your homophobic then gay. Poor little fudge packer no one is nice to them so everybody starts freaking out and gining them all these stupid gay rights.

But when you really think about it its about where you draw the line. I draw it at sodemy. If you think about it it is simple. People who like to put it in sh!t are messed in the head, they should be put away or something. I put it in such vulgar terms because thats the way i see it it is disgusting to me so it should be spoken that way. Making it so open and yet still having the element of it being wrong makes it sordof a taboo and people like that they like to be different which is pushing them in the wrong direction.

Then we start putting it in comics and cartoons and movies for example "Ice age" little kids see this and they dont really know about it so they emulate it just like they emulate normal cartoons, but they portray it in a different way a more intimate way like they are pushing it into there heads how and what to do. This is Trickery, we shouldnt trick children into being gay or support the people who try to.

Oh and dont give me any of that copout BS about i should look at my own sexuality thats what everyone sais when someone is against it. That is SO weak when you people say that.
 
The only thing that pisses me of is that EE only posts this stuff! No other contributions does he make. Typical TROLL.

I assume that you realize that oral sex is part of sodomy? and that you are going to have an unhappy gf...

What's the point in putting "commitment announcments" in the paper? Just because? Or is it since they can't legally get married and they're screaming EQUALITY? Well guess what...mariage announcments aren't just to let everyone know that there's one more straight couple out there. It's because it's a legal matter and the public has the right to be informed on legal matters. So if a "commitment announcment" isn't a legal matter than why include it in the papers? Don't we have anough to write about in the papers already?

Maybe now we should be putting "commitment announcments" in the paper regarding boyfriend/girlfriend relationships.

You know...just because we can...

their cash is as green as anyone elses. newspapers are a buisness.

homosexuals have the right to marry a person of the opposite sex that they don't love just like most other married people*
