We once knew what marriage is. We have become deaf and insensible to the meaning. That's also why abortion is widespread and fatherhood is marginalized

Hyperbole.

Read your history. For the greater part of the history of Western civilization, marriage was about money. It was a contract between families to exchange one thing for another. Everything else is just window dressing added within the last 150 years or so.

What was the exchange? The girl for the money or family connections or whatever?

but I don't want my tax money paying for it with benefits.

Jenny Guv (MI) got smacked on this issue here.  Something tells me her re-election campaign is going to be selfish fun.

No hope for a senate seat in the near future but these endless "fees" or tax increases just may PO the blue collar tier who takes the brunt of these layered tax hikes, and will hopefully backfire. 

With a strong governor, MI would be a red state.  Again.

Girl + Dowry = Connections, one less mouth to feed, the eventual merging of two families resources.

It's hard to be for or against something that doesn't even exist. Marriage isn't marriage if it's between anything else but a man and a woman.

Actually, I have heard that it was in the '70's, when that ruling was reversed. Maybe another freeper knows for sure.

Late 70s perhaps, I'm in that ball park.

The way I see it. If gays were told they could have civil unions. Nothing will stop them from advancing their sick, perverted agenda, into giving them the full benefits of actual marriage.

Give a Liberal an inch, they go a mile.

Marriage is simply a legal contract.

It's not just a contract. It's an adventure.

There is no such thing as homosexual marriage. Marriage is a union between a man and a woman.
This union is recognized by God as a representation of the the union between Christ and His church. The religious aspect.
Recognized by the state as a contract to establish the family unit to protect children. The secular aspect.

Marriage is simply a legal contract.

That's what the radical gay lobby would have you believe. Marriage is much more complex than simply a "contractual agreement between two people".

I am against any legislation that endorses unnatural and immoral behavior. I am not in any position to judge or condemn anyones personal choices or sexual preferences, but I strongly support protecting the Sanctity of traditional Marriage between a man and a woman.

I have no problem with civil unions for Gays, and I also believe they should be able to obtain any kind of insurance coverage for their partners.

I also believe that the Gay Marriage movement is not about civil rights for Gays, it's about marginalizing the Christian beliefs that led to our Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the foundation of our Constitution.

Homosexuality is not a natural act, and only represents a very small segment of our society. They deserve the protection the Bill of Rights affords them, but we must never compromise the Christian beliefs this great Nation was founded on.

[i]I don't care what gays do in their home, but I don't want my tax money paying for it with benefits.[/i]

Kind of agree... as a straight single person, I think it's unfair that any relationship of any kind gets a governmental blessing in the form of a tax advantage.

The gov't should define all as civil unions... churches should be allowed to decide if they want to perform marriage ceremonies. The gov't shouldn't butt into the picture (no pun intended LOL!).

"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other. "

Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906)

I think that the business of the individual should remain the business of the individual until it becomes the business of the state. Gay marriage isn't a threat to conventional marriage, it's an issue of individual belief and therefore none of the government's business. Let the homosexuals get married. If they go to hell for it that's no skin off my back.
