Thanks for sharing that.

besides tax ramifications/social security benifits/health care what is the point of marriage?

marriage is nothing but a sham that the .gov forces on your to potentially save a buck in taxes, or get more back come retirement....this goverentment sponsored sham is than carried over to the private sector to allow you to share your health benifits with a spouse. its a scam

they charge you to get married

they charge you to get divorced

Not being incendiary... based on your language here it is an unfortunate fact. The THOUGHT makes you "queezy" in your "stomic." Do blacks make you feel that way? Women in the workplace? Where does your bigotry start and stop?

Godfather.[/quote]

I used women and blacks as an example of subgroups within a population that used to be discriminated against and *hated* in this country and still are elsewhere in the world, similar to the way gays currently are. As man EVOLVES into a brighter, more accepting and loving race we hate fewer and fewer subgroups.

The hatred for things we don't understand or aren't "normal" is typical mammalian behavior found within monkeys and other lower primates. Lower primates also throw shit at these subgroups, while slightly more "advanced" primates use ink excreted on paper (or a computer screen) as their form of shit that they throw around.

At the end of the day, one has to ask himself; "am I a ma ma ma monkey being controlled by my 2 million year old instincts throwing shit at things I don't understand or am I a person who wants to evolve into where we're all going; LOVE?"

Marriage in the legal sense isn't about love. It is about rights. In that context I say anyone should be able to legally join up with whoever they want. Either that or take away the existing extra rights of married people.

HAHAHAHA ... who gets that? You aren't married are you?

Nope. Livin' in sin for the last 11 years. Just because it's something that we haven't done, doesn't mean other people shouldn't be allowed to experience it. Out of all of our "core" friends, Jamie and I are the only couple still together. Some of our friends have already been divorced TWICE, and we're only in our mid-thrities. We're mortgaged DILDOS (Double-Income, Little-Dog-Only's). Seems to last longer than marriage nowadays. Although with the rate we're paying it off, maybe Jamie is trying to get rid of me sooner than later!

Godfather. What. The. Hell. I thought you were a higher-evolved member of the species. It's not like anyone's asking YOU to do it, so what do you care? You prolly live with 50% gay couples in your neighbourhood already. The only thing it's done is bring the property value up. If you want it to keep going up, you should be next to move out.

sorry man this stuff just grosses me out,I can't even imagine this sort of thing in my life.

I have an idea. Godfather, why don't you post a pic of yourself, and we'll all imagine you having sex. If 2/3rds of us get queasy, we'll pass a constitutional amendment banning you from getting married.

I just want it to be legalized and done with.

I'm not getting a gay marriage, an abortion, or planning a trip to the Middle East, yet I feel as if I'm going to get constant updates and news on these issues for the rest of my life.

easy fix; don't watch/read the news. It doesn't concern you. That has helped me immensely.

When I get the urge to read the news, I stop and remember it's just going to say; "THE SITUATION IS DESPERATE AS USUAL"

Not like there's anything wrong with that...

Godfather, its OK to be gay. It really is...

It's OK to be republican too....

To be denied the right to marry the person you want to commit the supposed rest of your life with
IS unconstitutional and the laws should be changed and fast.

I've pretty much stopped watching the news, with the exception of local coverage in the morning. I'm trying to ween myself off of political coverage as I've determined you can never be happy if you are vested in political debate.

But, I try to keep up to date on current events and I'm pretty sure the gay marriage debate is going to be current for the next 25 years minimum.

Honestly, I'll never understand why people have an issue with this.

Of course, I'll never understand why a guy could look at another guy and think "I want me some of that", but to each their own.

Hell, I'll never understand the love for soccer either, but do I think it should be prohibited?....ummm...wait, that's a bad example. Never mind.

the key word is "watching." Or "listening." Don't do it. Find some trusted, objective, unbiased, non-corporate sources online to READ. Anything that you can watch or listen to is pure and utter rhetoric SHITE.

i shit and i stink

My brother in law says that he'd disown his kids if they are gay when they grow up. And he says being gay is against nature. Then he admits that he has never met or known any homosexual in his entire life. Ideas like that just blow my mind. Since when did we stop being a part of nature? If it exists, it is natural. Gays exist, so homosexuality is jsut another part of nature. And since when was it worth hating something that doesn't affect you at all?

And Godfather, being grossed out by gays and sick to the stomach? I've seen straight people doing things on the net that made me feel more disgusted than homosexual acts ever could. I wouldn't do the shit that I saw straight people doing which made me feel queezy but, you know, they seemed to like it. I ain't gonna judge then, what is the point? (Of course, I was searching for something else and I jsut came across it by accident.)

And the marriage thing is obvious, it has to be a right for every person to have something like a civil union at least that protects their property and inheritance and allows them to take mortgages and get along just like other folks in love.

Don't waste the fire in your belly on hating people who don't cause you trouble.
