Topic: Supreme Court to uphold a ban on same-sex marriage | |
---|---|
No duh lynn.I realize every state has it's own constitution.However the Federal supreme court can over rule any states supreme court descision.That is why we have it to begin with.They have the final word and there is no appeals. I suppose the gays can also add to their list of homophobes,racist, and bigots the Supreme court on top of their others...Bill and hillary clinton,President Obama,and of course every Christian in America. ![]() You ever stop to think maybe we got the right idea?After all the only support they gays are getting are from the liberals and the gays. You don't know the opinions of every Christian in America. ![]() |

for me it is not natural...what i'm pointing out is the definition of marriage...not the act...like I've said before...in time it will be legal in all 50 states... ![]() I just don't see why it matters so much. No one is trying to force you or others to marry the same sex. It should not be an issue at all. in all honesty...I think it takes time...for lots of people to except that behavior...the thought of two men...yuck !!...and...double yuck !!...my biggest fear...is once it becomes legal and excepted...that lifestyle...will be openly taught and discussed...in our schools...right ?... ![]() Does it bother you to think about two women being together? |

I guess...on this board...it will always be...anything and everything goes...no standards...all like minded thinkers...I see most of the regulars are gone...let me put it like this...you can do anything you want...but...don't involve me... Nobody want's to involve you, they just want you to stay out of their business. I don't want anything to do with it...afterall...it's still illegal...in 45 states... Wrong again, gay marriage is only illegal in a handful of states (don't feel like looking up the number right now), in most states gay marriage is simply not recognized no determination has yet been made. like I've said before...in time...EVERYONE...will be able to marry anyone and anything...they want...no standards...anything and everything goes...hopefully I'll be long gone by then...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...for the 50's... ![]() And I thank god the 50's are gone. As for the bit about standards many hetero-couples have done much damage by not taking it seriously, doesn't seem to bother you much. Never met a married gay couple (yes I do know a few of them from other states as well as two who got married here in CA) who didn't take their marriage VERY seriously. Thanks Davey, you just saved me some typing, was about to say something similar. |

It isn't affecting your every day life, is it? No one is trying to force you to marry a man, are they? Why do you think that gay marriage is going to be taught in school? why do I think it will be taught in school ?...it's the next step in the total takeover of schools by Liberals...first...we need to get totally rid of the " G "...word [ God ]...then we can substitute it with the other " g "...word...gay...with each passing day...we're getting closer...look what Obama has done in just 100 + days...taking over private business...firing and telling CEO's how much money they can earn...handing over 40% of Chrysler to union workers...dictating what kind of car they can produce...nationalizing banks...nationalizing health care...all without congress even voting on these things...it's called soft tyranny... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I dont really think the "heterosexual couples breed" argument can be successfully waged anymore simply because the planet is vastly overpopulated now as it is because people breed with impunity.
So part of the solution would be loving same sex couples who wont reproduce themselves yet will adopt some of these children that end up being brutally abused in foster care very often. Not all gay/lesbian married couples want to start families but it seems many do. That's in fact part of the reason some want to marry to begin with. |

I never ever think about what others do in bed, doesn't even cross my mind, yet some are so vocal about what displeases them.. very strange. |

Gio...I still don't understand how it would effect you though. there are gay couples now. just not legally married. in Texas we have common law marriage...which really isn't any different than a couple Rose...I was brought up in a strict Catholic family...while you are focusing on the couple...I am focusing on the behavior...which I and many many Americans find abnormal...so...If I belive that behavior is wrong...then why would I want to sanction that behavior by making it legal... I think it's wrong to get a marriage annulled after 8 years. If I remember correctly it was 8 years, right? |

i can assure u being married to a man myself (ofcourse not living in a country with backward laws) it aint no big deal. oh and it gets taught in our schools with no ill effect. i do have to say tho that all the years i was taught about hetero lifestyle never made me straight. u CAN'T make someone be what they are not. exactly, though some think just being around gays will make you gay, always thought that was rather amuzing because in that case I should be straight, not gay. |

Thanks for the mention of full faith and credit.
This ruling isn't the end of it by any means. So, Thomas3474...if I am married in Michigan and move to Vermont do I have to get remarried there? Why no...I do not. The flood gates are open like it or not. |

all the outrage in the gay community is a bunch of bs..for 2 reasons...1.its a word.. marrige = man and woman, civil union= man+man or woman+woman all that needs to be done is assure that civil unionised couples have the same rights as married couples in every way..and 2.its not descrimination the people have spoken prop 8 was voted on just like the presidency was..and here is an extra : every continent in the world defines marrige between a man and a woman!!!! so thats every nationality/ethnicity in agreement!!(any 1 thats against gay marrige just because they dont like homosexuals are wrong too just for the record)

There are gays in ever nationality and ever community in every country around the world. Woudln't it be nice if the world grew up and evolved, everything else seem to do so except for some human beings. We made the laws, we should also extend them to everyone. Personally I am so so sick of this argument that I don't even care about it for myself and my partner anymore and I woudln't at all if it weren't for all the generations to come that will fight for this right as they should. It's time for the world to come out of the dark ages and stop pretending what does exist, does not. |

I think the irony is many past civilizations practiced bi-sexuality and that was considered the standard. People wed but they did this very often only to have heirs. There were lesbians and men often had male lovers. The Romans, the Spartans, the list goes on. It would have been considered odd to limit oneself sexually to a gender.

Society has done a fairly good job of keeping it under wraps but yes it's been around forever, but so has our antiquated views of sexuality. Heck even straight sex isn't quite natural anymore considering people are using drugs to allow them to even have it.
How we became so sexually repressed is a mystery to me. I mean I know how we demonized it, just don't know why we ever did that in the first place. |

I don't understand how it needs to come to vote for this issue anyway.
Grown people of mental competency should be able to marry whoever they choose to marry and the outside populace shouldn't have **** to say about it. |

That is a good question, would like an answer to that one. This is so personal. It's not like voting on a new road, it's about human beings, yet some feel thier religion or their personal prejudices gives them the right to dictate who should be allowed the to marry whom... Just boggle the mind. |
