How about the gay marriage bans!?!?!

[EnderJE]

IMO Gay marriage is wrong. Marriage is a sacret bond and a tradition that heterosexual couples have been nurturing for millenia.

Really? Then explain how the 50% divorce rate nutures marriage.

We (heterosexual) have a right to protect our traditions for they are a foundation to propagatng our species. Gay groups need to leave this issue alone.

Last time I checked, being married wasn't a requirement for having kids. Neither is being straight or gay a requirement for having kids.

Some boundries always need to remain.

I know what you mean, we should give them a special bus and seperate drinking fountains and stuff.

Really though, gay marriage is all about the benefits and the rights that hetros have under marriage. The marriage itself is useless and pointless. If the civil unions were seen in the same light as marriages then I think that the issue would be dropped.

Oh, and they do have their own traditions, its call interior decorating...I kidd!

Civil Unions fine, Marriage NO. The institution of marriage was created specifically to unify a man and a woman, it represants the connection of the two sexes, moldingthem into one as was meant to be. It is far beyond just a relationship betweem two people, it is a unification between opposites, the uniting of the two sexes that inhabit this world. Two of the same cannot achieve this state, they cannot produce offspring, they are not capable of doing what homosapiens were intended to do. This institution shoul dbe left the way it is, and the way it was always ALWAYS intended to be. Two men, or two women are not capable of achieving the same leval of intimacy between man and woman, this being conception.

I believe in fair treatment, so a civil union in which gays were able to recieve all the same benefits financially is a good thing. If they truly love each other, then why do they really need anything more?

DAMN!!! In all my ranting I failed to play the hetero divorce rate card. You're good. You're very good. Seriously though-you are 110% correct. The core of the issue is about the benefits and the rights that hetero's have. Not the ceremony itself. Why shouldn't gays be allowed to check the box on their insurance forms that selects coverage for your spouse?

For the conservatives:

Why do you care so much what other poeople do? When:
a) thier behaviour doesn't affect you.
b) no one is getting hurt.

IMO, it doesn't matter if you think something is "wrong" or not. Freedom of expression/speech is an absolute right. I might hate the fact that Neo-Nazi's can have rallies and spew bullshit all day, but I would always defend thier right to do so.

You don't think that the uniting of two men isn't the unification between opposites? If there was ANYTHING that was opposites, it would be two men...jk..jk..

Two of the same cannot achieve this state, they cannot produce offspring, they are not capable of doing what homosapiens were intended to do.

No problem, then under the same rules, all women past age bearing years should have their marriages annulled and have themselves considered defective. All men and women who cannot have children OR who choose not to have children should not be allowed to get married and be considered defective.

Check the insurance rules, civil unions do not give the same benefits as marraige.

BINGO. That special six letter word has all the difference in the world. Spouse. Amazing how those six letters can change insurance coverage, death rights, next of kin etc.

And now for the second part? I kidd!!!!!!

Wow, that didn't take long for me, eh?

prove me wrong that homosexuals are capable of achieving the same level of intimacy as heterosexuals. The designs are flawed, one of each organ is needed.

You've equated intimacy with physical touch. Your logic is flawed from the start as intimacy is much more then that...

Intimacy and intercourse are not the same thing.

If hetero's truly love each other, then why do we need anything more? Tradition? Could it be that gays have the same respect for the tradition and symbolism of marriage that hetero's do? Mmmmm
