For or Against Gay Marriage Wait for the pedophiles and other antisocial elements who are waiting to join the bandwagon for benefits.
For or Against Gay Marriage
For or Against Gay Marriage So also are the pedophiles and other perverts.
For or Against Gay Marriage Marriage has always been evolving. It's not this static, immovable thing. That's not the only option. Marriage is a common-law definition, so the courts are able to define it, as they have been doing all along. That has yet to be shown. Every argument against gay marriage is a logical fallacy or a diversion or fear tactic. That's why such arguments are losing in court. One can be straight without being narrow.
For or Against Gay Marriage That is a gross assumption on your part. Name calling only illustrates that you are losing the ability or willingness to reason.
For or Against Gay Marriage We cannot make all happy by allowing them to do what they like. There are pedophiles, psychopaths, commiters of beastality, etc., who get utmost happiness in what they do and hope to be institutionalized Technically, homosexuals cannot raise a family by themselves, since it is a vain unfruitful sexual act. A bunch of roosters stealing egg from hens and presuming to hatch and raise family.
For or Against Gay Marriage There is nothing that states it cannot be applied to gay marriage. It may have seemed "absurd" to them at the time. They could not have known every way society and laws would change. Doesn't it lose relevance if it doesn't apply to the realities of society over the last 100 or so years?
For or Against Gay Marriage We have had massive child abuse by the clergy here in ireland - It has never once been mentioned that any of the involved preists were gay. Would gay priests not be more likely to "do" another priest that felt the same way? rather than a child?
For or Against Gay Marriage That is conservatism in my view. Big government is the way of the past.
For or Against Gay Marriage [QUOTE=Hydra] It has nothing to do with Civil Rights.........Gays have the same rights and restrictions I have whne it comes to marriage.......Men can/t marry men and I can't marry 2 women or my sister.......
For or Against Gay Marriage Rare as it is, States have seen fit to exercise their authority and discretion, CUNx. prohibited marriages? "Generally, you are free to marry anyone you choose as long as that person is not already married, the same sex as you are, or a close relative. South Dakota prohibits marriages between parents and children; brothers and sisters, including half brothers and sisters; uncles and nieces; aunts and nephews; first cousins; stepfathers and stepdaughters; and stepmothers and stepsons. The South Dakota Legislature recently amended the statutes to prohibit marriages between persons of the same sex. However, South Dakota statutes also state that all marriages contracted outside this state which would be valid by the laws of the jurisdiction in which they were contracted are valid in this state. Whether a same-sex marriage validly contracted in another state is valid in South Dakota is undetermined." At some point, you have to consider that if anything goes, then by what authority will you deny a brother the right to marry his brother or a sister the right to marry her sister. They may have more love than any other couple for each other, they may or may not be sexual with one another, they may or may not only be after the financial benefits,... Yet YOU would deny a brother the right to marry his brother or a sister the right to marry her sister. Even though they can't make "three headed babies?" You should consider the reasoning behind denying them but demanding the same right for gays. I've already given you the answer to this paradox, CUNx. The government should define and recognize only the most basic definition of marriage necessary to establisg the "family unit" as necessary for the general welfare (talk about percentages here),... as it is necessary for the making of laws (article 8 section 1) as per the Constitution. All other unions could still take place without the government's recognition. Being treated with Indifference and apathy are not tantamount to being discriminated against.
