like marriage?

Isn't traditional marriage between a man and several women?

The men are dramatic as hell, and always act like they are going to whoop some arse to overcompensate for their feminism.

no, some people just don't want to be forced to make a wedding cake for a homosexual marriage.


Then they shouldn't run a bakery in Colorado where the state constitution says you don't have a choice.

Not in this country.

In the Middle East. Of course, if you want to go by their norms, we'll be stoning and hanging homosexuals.

A simple "k " will suffice as a response to that post.

Every single thing I do or try to do is based off religion. Can't take it away and just make up answers.

As I've asked you before on the Poli Board, give me a secular reason to be against homosexual marriage and I'm all ears...


I'm not asking you to be against two men telling each other "I do" in front of their friends and family.

I'm asking you to carefully consider all sides of the issue before you agree to a fundamental change to a basic societal institution.
This is not the same as simply granting women or blacks the right to vote. That some of the same people who were against those things are against having society collectively give a sign of approval to gay marriage and equate homosexual unions with heterosexual unions doesn't mean anything.

A recessive 'gay uncle' trait could be beneficial to a hunter-gatherer tribe. An individual who does not procreate but able to contribute to the raising of children and feeding of the tribe would not be a bad thing.


That would make a case for asexuality or being born sterile (though a sterile husband ties up a valuable, viable woman), not homosexuality. Males with a higher rate of various diseases do not really benefit the tribe.

Not since 1862 you mean

we change definitions all the time. Words have whatever meaning we give them. There can be a difference between religious marriage and goverment marriage.

The entire basis of this country is designed to be able to change definitions and "long standing traditions".

Not by fiat. And, certainly this should never be done by judges.

I have no problem with state legislatures allowing for gay marriage. And, I certainly have no problem with the people of a state voting to allow for gay marriage. Hell, I applaud that.

But, when biased and politicized (and FEARFUL) judges just take it upon themselves to literally INVENT Constitutional rights out of whole cloth, something is wrong.

My point is that nature contains both chaos and order. Just because something chaotic happens in nature once in a while doesn't mean it's natural.

Exists in nature <> Natural.

I agree that the gov should have stayed out of it from the beginning.

They aren't looking for extra ordinary rights, they are looking for equal rights

I'll start a blog and link you to it one day. There's certainly no simple answer to that question, at least not one that will make sense to people who are part of a culture in which marriage, chastity, etc are so lightly regarded.

It's difficult to discuss this because so many people who agree with me are real assholes who are just angry and hate things they don't understand while so many people who agree with you are truly kind people who have just come to a new level of understanding and compassion for people dealing with same-sex attraction (as my RELIGION puts it).

So I'm afraid (actually, I am certain, as it is already happening and won't be stopped) that we are going to make this enormous change to society without really even being able to consider what it might mean in the long-term.

These conversations are almost always conducted with a lack of love and charity from either side.

Well, they are natural. I'm not making an appeal to nature - that's a bad argument technique - it's just silly to say that homosexuality is 'unnatural'.
