To me.. the concept of not allowing them to join in the legal definition of marriage is absurd.

The church and afterlife can have there say independently from the legalities of this country..

The hypocrisy of any government that will label "Under God" from the pledge of Allegiance as nothing more than "ceremonial and patriotic nature", cannot justifiably cite any religious connotations to gay marriage. You can't have it both ways.

We have wasted probably billions of dollars in this country on this topic, that has really no reason to be an issue for the government to rule upon.

It is not our fight as a union to decide.. two adults should be able to form a marriage freely if both consent.. regardless of sex, race or religion.

But pressure from religious voters sways the self serving politician in seeking re-election.

You want to apply all of that to homosexuals the same as to normal married people? OK, then how about polygamy? A much stronger case can be made for THAT in terms of normalcy, morality, and religion than for homosexuality. And if abnormal and religiously abominable is deemed to be acceptable, then how about the guy who wants to marry his favorite sheep - or maybe the whole flock? Where do you draw the line?

You draw the line with two human beings. This really isn't that difficult. It's just one more thing for all the Leviticus Christians out there to stomach. Poor bastards! The bigots have beaten up gay people long enough, let them have their rights.

I understand, you don't have a problem with that particular perversion. How many others do you approve of? Pedophilia fits snugly within the line you drew, for example.

Why would you have a problem with homosexuality merely being allowed or even ceremonially sanctioned as marriage, just not given the preferred or subsidized status of real marriage? And how do you justify favoring homosexual marriage over polygamy - assuming your motive is just to "let the poor bastards have their rights"?

Or polygamy among normal people also? Sure, let 'em all have the right to practice their crap - and probably a lot of other perversions too, but why bring tax benefits, inheritance, property ownership, ability to adopt/pervert kids, immigration, etc. into it just like real marriage?

Speak up/identify your favorite perversion/state what part of our American tradition and heritage and concept of normalcy you have a problem with. Don't be shy.

It scares me that there are still people who use terms like "perversion" when it comes down to homosexuality.

WHY do you see what has been seen as an abomination not only by us - Judeo-Christian people, but pretty much ALL cultures as somehow NOT perverse? Other than being one or being extremely close to somebody who's one, WHY would you fall prey to this propaganda?

I have nothing against what Dakota and Gunny said - "let the bastards have their rights". I just think the whole practice should still be seen as society has seen it ....... ever since there was such a thing as society - as a perversion - something sick and abnormal.
