NBC's EXTRA filmed attendees: Liza Minnelli (ex David Gest is reportedly planning to tie the knot with Motown legend Diana Ross), John Travolta, a reported rare appearance by Janet Jackson, the Fab Five's (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)Kyan commented, "It's every gay man's dream to meet Barbra Streisand."

It's not about legislating love it is about preserving a unique form of bonding for a unique purpose. If you wish to engage in perversion of your own accord do so but do not expect to get a tax break for it.

[Jim Robinson]

Love, love, love. Love is all you need.

Remember Adelman who Streisand filed a 10M dollar suit against for posting aerial photos of her California coastline mansion?

I guess the "court-ordered" legal fees ordered to be paid by Streisand holds no importance to this Diva; as Adelman claims the entertainment legend refuses to pay him $204,000 in fees. He is now seeking an additional $15,000 for fees he has spent to enforce the order.

Great Jim, now I have that song stuck in my head!

[JoJo Gunn]

Leftists consider themselves "enlightened", but instead of embracing a Higher Power, they're crawling out of the woodwork like cockroaches to champion Regression.

[Charlespg]

its about denying societies right to draw the line at some point,another few years of this c***.and they will be a civil war all right

[Eva]

I didn't even read the article, the title was bad enough. This isn't about legislating who you can love. It's about what constitutes a legal marriage and freedom of religion.

Freedom of religion is the most important part.

"how can anyone legislate who you love?"

Nobody is trying to legislate who you love, babs. They are just saying you can't boink just anyone and call it marriage.

So why does the gay community like Barbra Streisand?

One word:  Showtunes!

[Boundless]

Questions to have handy for those advocating that "marriage"
be legally re-defined to accomodate same-sex unions
(and this is an entirely separate issue from the same
relationship under other names, e.g. "civil union").

• What is your proposed new definition, precisely?
  
  
• Does it exclude consanguineous partners?
  Can someone marry their sibling, child, parent, cousin?
  If not, why not - there's no risk of genetic defects in the
  offspring if the partners are the same sex, after all.
  
  
• Does it limit a person to one partner?
  If so, why? That sounds pretty arbitrary and discriminatory.
  There's a lot more historical precedent for polygamy than for
  same-sex marriage. The polygamists await the answer.
  
  

And before laughing at the following, keep in mind a recent
nuptial in France wherein a bride was wed to her deceased finance.

• Does the new definition require a living partner?
  
  
• Does the new definition require a human partner?
  Any number of lonely sheep-herders await an answer.
  
  
• Does the new definition require any partner at all?
  Since this movement is in part a benefits grab, why bother
  requiring a partner at all? Just marry yourself.

I wanted to marry myself, but found out I was dating someone else.

[goldstategop]

Oh yes... the Constitution "evolves." Name me ONE liberal, Babs, who was FOR gay marriage back in 1968.

[Jim Robinson]

You'll go blind doing that.

[TX Bluebonnet]

I'd like to marry my dog and declare my 2 cats as dependents.

[small voice in the wilderness]

What should scare us is that we have no checks and balances on this administration. They control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court.

I love this part! Poor,poor Babs, wrinkled, shriveled, old, still stupid, and now, in the bitter winter of her life, paranoid.

[wtc911]

"I wanted to marry myself. but found out I was dating someone else"....

A clear case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing.

[cwb]

Great point about polygamy having a much older...an even previously sanctioned, history. When homosexuals hear this question, they scoof at it as rediculous. Yet, not only has it existed in the past, some religions openly endorsed it. Don't these extended relationships have the same rights as homosexuals...expecially on the grounds of freedom of religion? Homos are such intolerant people:)

[breakem]

I'm a cat man myself, dogs are too dependent.
