pinkstones Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Welcome to the United States, where religious theocrats want to take over and institute a Christian version of Sharia Law. When your country is dominated by morons who think the Bible should replace the Constitution, gay marriage (and abortion) suddenly becomes an issue of great importance.

Uncle Joe Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Isn't this whole "slippery slope" argument the exact same that people in the past used to oppose interracial marriage with, or that of people who follow different religions? That's only if you were to consider race (other than white) as a defect the way homosexuality is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 That's only if you were to consider race (other than white) as a defect the way homosexuality is Actually... I do. Because neither is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Actually... I do. Because neither is one. That's where the difference lies. I do not consider both characteristics to be alike at all... and, as a non-white person, I do not like to be compared to homosexuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Homosexuality is no more a "defect" than being left-handed or tall is. It's hardwired into who you are as a human being. The same as it's hardwired into the animal kingdom as well. Homosexuality occurs as frequently in animals as it does in humans. It's part of existence on this planet. If you think being gay is equal to being defective....that's a sad-ass statement to be making in 2012. The same as being black isn't defective, being Muslim isn't defective, and being female isn't defective. There are no defects, just different flavors.

Rayzor Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I agree with most of what you said pink... except the Muslim part. Not because of your choice of religion to use in your statement, but rather because it is in fact a religion. I don't believe religion to be hard-wired into people. If you were talking about Arabic people then ignore my post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were talking about Arabic people then ignore my post I know religion isn't hardwired into people. I grew up Catholic, but became an atheist in high school. I was just rattling off a list of demographics that define/describe who or what we are, that are no different than being gay or straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Look, "marriage" IS and should be about religion... •Jewish wedding •Greek wedding •Catholic wedding •Islamic wedding •Irish wedding It's all about about customs and tradition. As far as law and rights go... It's a "contract". Subject and in accordance to jurisprudence per jurisdiction. just like all other laws. Simple. Get over it! Get on with it. NEXT!!

Shawna Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 *sigh* and I always believed marriage was an institution. Wait -- according to Wiki, it IS. Because I believe everything I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hmm, so Obama is for gay marriage personally, but still believes the states should decide whether it's legal or not. That's great. That puts him at the level of Dick Cheney about a decade ago. SF Gate - Cheney Supports Gay Marriage (2004) let's keep pushing forward yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 If two gay people (men or women) can remain in a loving, committed relationship with one another, I say more power to them. That's a damn site more than a lot of heterosexuals have been able to manage. I do, however, agree with Levis that there are many more important issues that the President should be concerned with.
