To me, its seems crazy and nonsensical. Unions are fine just dont get in my face with it.

Furthermore, the feds need to keep their noses out of states rights and let the people decide what is right or wrong. :colbert:

This story is what got me thinking about it this morning:

http://abcnews.go.com/us/wirestory/rights-sex-military-spouses-vary-state-25692285

Same-sex marriage is legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Challenges in other states continue to make their way through the courts, many of them successfully.
A three-judge federal appeals panel recently upheld a lower court ruling striking down Virginia's same-sex marriage ban, a legal precedent considered binding on a judge currently considering the constitutionality of North Carolina's very similar prohibition.
The Virginia ruling, like similar cases in a slew of states, remains on hold and appears headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Moved from OT.

Who cares?? Is two same sex people being married hurting your way of life some how?

I say let them be as miserable as the rest of married people.... :p

It doesn't bother me. Nobody's in my face about getting married to their same sex partner, it doesn't affect my wallet, so go nuts.

What someone DOES need to do something about is No-Sex Marriage, which seems to be an epidemic ;)

Exactly. For those afraid of the gayness think how much gay sex you'll be preventing by accepting gay marriage.

You guys have the wrong attitude. I dont want to live in a world that makes no sense. That husband & husband / wife & wife thing makes no sense and its strange.

Call it a gay union and be happy with that.

To me, its seems crazy and nonsensical that people would care about who other people, people they don't even know, would choose to marry.

If two adult people find each other to love, then that's great and they should be allowed to marry if they choose to, even if they are of the same gender.

I remember hearing the same arguments from the right before interracial marriages became acceptable.

Rejecting gay marriage has nothing to do with whether you like 'gayness' or not. Society is fine the way it is. Dont rock the boat.

There is no correlation be race and sex.

You've been brain washed. Our attitudes are just fine. Maybe pull your head out of your rectum and realize that it's not a big deal. Your irrational fears should not prevent two people from being happy.

Yes there is. They are 2 things that one cannot change about themselves as they are born that way. And on a side note even if its only a "choice" i still dont care. What 2 consenting adults do with one another is none of my business. How would you like it if the whole thing was in reverse and you werent allowed to marry your female partner? (im assuming you are a male)

Same-sex unions were actually very common and socially acceptable in most societies until roughly 500 years ago when Christianity and Islam took over.

Agree. It's not natural and it's not the way the human body is supposed to function.

I don't understand why we need to get the govt's permission to be involved with people.

People should (are) free to go to a lawyer whenever and draw up any kind of agreement they like.

Better than this bullshit stealth agreement by statute.

being against gay marriage is kinda funny. why? because you are letting a book dictate that punishing others for something is ok.

how does gay marraige effect you? it doesn't in fact as a straight guy it helps me. why? it takes a guy off the playing field. less guys hitting on a women means better luck for me!

Then perhaps you personally wouldn't want to enter into a gay marriage.
There are however, people that would want to, so why not let them?

Heart God, eh? You should act like it then!

Because it's not right, that's why. Same way you shouldn't be able to marry your sister or a group of 5 people marrying each other. It's ridiculous to even ponder it.

"bu...bu...bu, we see it in over 1500 species of animals...."


so is murder, cannibalism, genocide (ever see a group of Hornets raid a beehive), but those are socially rejected.

Can't have it both ways...but people want to cherry pick what they'll accept as natural and acceptable...especially gay marriage proponents.

The bible is bullshit and has nothing to do with anything. You don't need a bible to know that dicks are not supposed to go in your ass. Perhaps that's why gays spread so much diseases?

And just because it doesn't affect me, that doesn't make it ok. I could drink 5 gallons of horse piss and it wouldn't affect you, but that doesn't mean its something that should be considered socially acceptable.

it's also not something that should be against the law. if you want to drink 5 gallons of horse piss go for it.

same if 2 guys or 2 gals want to hook up and get married


just because you find it disgusting does not mean everyone does.
