Explain the problem with gay marriage

[Marlowe01]

explain how, in any way, allowing "fags" to get married interferes with ANYthing.

[bueno bob]

For me, it doesn't. That's my whole basis of argument on this topic. It doesn't affect my world in the slightest.

The problem is that marriage is between a man and a woman. That’s what marriage is.

I have no problem with your ‘fags’ getting married or whatever. Just call it something else because it ain’t marriage.

Marriage means something to people who embrase it and they're not in a rush to bastardize its meaning.

That says it all.

It's really a religious institution. Many religions embrace the practice. What's the big deal? Wiccans marry and Christians marry. The conservatives aren't bitching about Budhists marrying.

They're not bitching about DaveIsKing and his WIFE inviting extra female partners into the mix.

That's just as much a perversion of the traditional term.

Why Fags?

(DIK - just using you as example of non-traditional use of a religious based tradition)

We have to allow them they're freedom. DIK and his lovely wife could be next.

This could set a precedent that allows conservative law-makers a foothold in YOUR household.

what's more damaging-gays getting married or straights getting married three or even four times?

[Marlowe01]

I really don't get how it interferes with anything. Uh-OH! The queers are getting married! Let's panic!

what, that half of all marriages end in divorce doesn't bastardize its meaning?

there are plenty of (heterosexual) people out there for whom marriage has little meaning beyond, "i want to be with this person today."

did britney spears' 1st marriage cheapen anybody else's marriage?



in America, marriage is a CIVIL deal. various religions can assign whatever they want to marriage. great. but before the justice of the peace, it's just a legal union between 2 people. (till divorce do them part...)

i see no reason why saying that any 2 consenting adults can enter into a legal union could cause the downfall of either marriage or society.



now, wasting our time passing amendments (semantically) "saving" the institution of marriage may or may not contribute to downfall...

[jhale667]

I guess we can look forward to Bush F*ing with the constitution now...what's next, the Arnold amendment?

[pete]

NICE knuckleboner!

[Catfish]

Yeah, a good point. Marriage certainly ain't perfect in this world...

[DaveIsKing]

Speaking of J-Lo, as long as she gave me that nice, plump ass to rub my face in, I'd be happy for a month or two.

Goddamn what a beautiful masterpiece--that ass... MMMMMMMmmmm

That's already been proposed, hasn't it? I think I remember reading something about that months back...
