I would say that they had better run to the courthouse now since it will be overturned in November.

If you give the right of marriage to gays, what is next?

Marriage between Dogs and Cats?

It is immoral and unjust to be gay in the first place which throws your rights into the dumpster.

Hear, hear! Plain and simple truth which selfish and perverse thoughts block out. Nevermind that there is no scientific fact nor will there ever be that gays are born gay although child molesters are claiming that they are born that way too so lets make them legal too while we are add it!

And dogs and cats are next if we don't end this nonsense in November. Sad to think that they will start turning our pets into homosexuals too!!

It's amazing what leaps of specious logic people will make.

As I posted earlier, is it just fine with you good folks then that I mary my lesbian girlfriend so she can have benefits if her girlfriend marries my boyfriend so he can have benefits? It's between a man and a woman? Is that really what you want the precious institution of marriage to become?

Also, the word marriage is a noun that connotes a union between two people. Your childhood socialization is what tells you to erroneously conclude that it must be between a man and a woman.

Soon our kitchen appliances will be wanting to marry major geographical landmarks! Potted cacti will start wedding abstract concepts! This is madness, madness I tell you!

Under law, children are not capable of consent. Sex without consent is rape. Rape is a crime.

Stop comparing two adults falling in love and wanting to be together with one adult raping a child.

And non-humans are not capable of signing contracts, so your "dogs and cats" argument is also childish and shrill.

Please stop making such a fool of yourself. Either come back with some sort of genuine argument, or just keep reading your precious bible (www.evilbible.com lists some of my favourite passages) and let the grown ups handle this.

Childhood socialization!!?? Are you drinking currently!!?? Do you think you could possibly come up with a better defense than that!!?? That statement comes nowhere close to a worthy defense. It is barely worth commenting on. I don't hate gay people, but it is un natural and immoral, there is no way around it! YOU CANNOT PROCREATE. The defenses the gay community come up with are just feable attempts at justifying a perverted lifestyle. Next thing you know there will be people claiming to be born attracted to reptiles and going before the courts for the right to marry there monitor lizard.

I do not want marriages between anyone just to obtain medical benefits. You are correct on that aspect.

What tells me what is right and wrong and what is a male and a female: HMM! Well I suppose my religious beliefs tells me it is wrong to be gay. I know I am playing the old religion card here, but it's true. God did not intend for two men or women to procreate so obviously they cannot.

I conclude it must be between a man and a woman because that is exactly what was intended.

Poor soul you are.

Actually the plain and simple truth is your childish argument equating allowing two people of the same sex who love each other to marry, would allow for cats and dogs to then get married is a "slippery slope". Anyone who went to at least one year of college would know that.

Maybe you should stop getting all of your ideas told and preached to you and actually go pick up a book and learn something for yourself.

Compassion goes a long way. Gay and lesbians could never "ruin marriage" like we heterosexuals have already done. Fortunately for everyone the conservative right is a dying breed.

it is people so shallow is this--who compare 2 good people loving each other to "kitchen appliances" or "cats and dogs" who are the same people who thought it right that slaves should have no rights.

Just because someone is different does not make them equal to a child molester, (they are not hurting anyone.) or an animal (we are talking doctors, lawyers) or an appliance (do I really need to go THERE?)

Simple question: Is homosexuality natural and moral?

How can you state that gays will not ruin marriage?

Are you to suggest that gays don't fight, have affairs, money issues? Wake up! Two people living together that are romantically involved will argue. Forget the Cat and Dog stuff for pete's sake. That's not the point.

I've read enough books and articles about the lifestyles of the sick and perverse thank you.

It really is a shame that this issue is so divisive. As the greatest nation in the world we have many larger eggs to fry than whether a man can marry a man or a woman can marry a woman. I personally don't approve of the idea, but much like others who have a somewhat more level-headed disposition, I would rather see the government ratify homosexual unions than any number of other decisions that could potentially bring this nation to it's knees. Where's the discussion about the economy? The war in Iraq? Alternative fuel/fuel sources?

We are truly blessed to be able to have such an argument!

This country was founded on the idea that each person has the freedom to live the life they chose as long as it doesn't impair another person's ability to live theirs. Homosexual marriage or union doesn't stop me from getting married. It doesn't keep me from having a job, getting health insurance benefits, or making money, or having a family. It shouldn't keep a homosexual person from those things either.

While no one knows for certain what effects raising a child in a same sex union has, negative or otherwise, I can't imagine that it would mean the end of civilization. There are plenty of children in the world that need homes. It's true that the Bible says, "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply." It would serve us better as a nation to save those children affected by the AIDS epidemic in our own as well as other countries than to argue about what kind of personality some self-entitled American child might have because their parents are homosexual.

For the record: I'm a born-again Christian. I'm a happily married straight woman who loves her husband with all her heart. My views have nothing to do with being liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat or other - it has to do with love. There are so many things in the world that are more worth my time than trying to make other people live by MY beliefs.

Judge not lest you be judged.

Remove the plank from your own eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else's.

Love the sinner, not the sin.

Of course "gays" won't be perfect at marriage. There will be all the same problems that happen in heterosexual relationships. The point is that it should be their "right" to have that sheet of paper saying they are married.

If you take out the cats and dogs then how could (2) men or (2) women marrying each other possibly affect you in the least?

Sorry the books and articles that are given to you in your church don't count. It's ignorant and hateful.

Very well said Jmack329
