What’s the fear? Well, for starters, the fear is that you can lose your job if you disagree with a coworker about gay marriage because gay marriage is legal (MA), and that your kids are going to be inundated with all manner of homosexual indoctrination in the public schools and there is no opt out provision for parents who disagree with the lifestyle (MA and CA) because it’s now legal and the schools are “obligated” to incorporate it into their life curricula.

“Lost in every state? Is there a message there?”

I believe the message is that these 31 states simply represent the views of voters who bitterly cling to their guns and religion. So until the issue is put to vote in the other 29 states where REAL Americans live (the ones who put Barack Obama in the White House), we can’t be certain where the American public stands on this issue...

Why can’t they be satisified to being perverted behind closed doors why is it so important that their mental disease be on public display? well this will take a few months and then it’s off to the ‘Court’ system. Honest to God, are we ever going to have a civil society again? (rhetorical)

IT WILL NEVER PASS when "put to vote". This is an elitist issue that can only be shoved down our throats by liberals judges. THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT GAY MARRIAGE. And if they keep pushing it the numbers against them will get larger - not smaller.

Domestic partnerships are the compromise...

Dejection fills ballroom after gay marriage vote

I swear I first read this as "Dejection fills bathroom after gay marriage vote". Ha ha.

"It's a personal rejection of us and our relationship"

That explains a lot. They say it's about having the same rights as married couples. The truth is it's about public acceptance of their perversion.

homosexual have the same right as anyone else to marry a member of the opposit sex.

THERE IS NO LOVE TEST IN LAW.

THERE IS NO ORGAMS TEST IN LAW.

Homosexuality contributes NOTHING to the future of society and should and must be rejected any special rights.

"It's a personal rejection of us and our relationship, and I don't understand what the fear is."

It's not fear, it is morals. It was Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, not Adam and Steve.

Its not a rejection of your relationship, its stating that the government has no business in it, which up until recently was what all you folks said you wanted.

There is absolutely no moral or secular reason that the government should have any involvement in a gay relationship. Hell, the ONLY justification for government involvement in a MARRIAGE is that heterosexual couples produce OFFSPRING, and the government clearly has a vested interest in the next generation of citizens. Sorry but homosexuals can do whatever they want with each other and they don’t produce offspring while doing it.

Homosexuals truly are mentally ill people. I attended a gay “marriage” out in cali, and it was a laughable experience. They actually had a license and everything since they did it during that period where it hadn’t been banned. So, they have their “marriage” license framed in the entryway of their home, they had a blow up of it on display at their “reception” as well. The “ceremony” itself was also a political event, not a solumn one.

I cannot think of a time in my entire life, where I have seen anyones marriage certificate framed and on display. Its always either tucked away with other legal papers, or at best put in a photo albumn.

Homosexuals just don’t get it, the governmental “sanctioning” of my marriage means nothing to me, its a beaurocratic piece of paper that once every few decades has to be pulled out for some other beaurocrat to do something. My marriage isn’t a marriage because the state says so, they could abolish it tommorrow and I’d still be married. I am married, I married my wife, she married me, the certificate from the state didn’t make it so.. the day I stood before our family and friends, my wife to me and the Lord above and said I DO, I became married, no government paper or sanction had or has anything to do with it, and never will.

Homosexuals are free to have whatever relationships they want, just to think they are only valid if the government gets involved in them is pitiably sick.

NONSENSE.

Domestic partnerships are just marriage.

ANYONE can UNDER CURRENT LAW go and buy a cohabitation agreement at the local supply store. for $29.95 it is a contract enforceable in court.

There is no need for a compromise that is defacto homosexual based marriage.

I’m not sure why you want to let facts get in the way of a good argument (especially given that Pelosi-types never do). For anyone who has deluded themselves into thinking that the debate on global warming is settled or that a government-run health plan will be “better, faster, cheaper” than private health insurance, my argument is completely valid, whether we’re talking about 19 states or 29 states that have not yet had up-or-down votes on this issue.

Crazy people don't know they're crazy. Homosexuals really do think they're normal, or "just like everyone else."
They don't know they're sick. Because of their political money, the politicians aren't going to tell them, either.

It’s just impossible to read these stories without tickling the 5th Grader in me. The other story about the “great blow” to the movement, this one with the “ballroom”. My inner-Beavis still laughs.

When the yahoo message boards were active,
this fact was brought up to the gay “marriage” advocates -

you can get a full legally binding contract between two people that gives all the same rights as marriage.

The answer was “NO, it MUST be called MARRIAGE.”

They aren’t seeking legality, they’re seeking acceptance, for the most part. And some are intentionally seeking the destruction of the institution as a whole.

I'm stealing the term "inner-Beavis", just so you know.
