80% of Canadians are against this change in law.

They are only citizens and voters. Their opinion is not relevant.

I am very confused on one aspect of homosexual "marriage". We all know what it means to consummate a heterosexual marriage. Homosexuals have only acts of sodomy available to them. So with 2 males,is consummation anal sex or oral sex? Can the "marriage" be annulled for nonconsummation if one of the 2 participants is always on the receiving or giving end or turns down the other participant for a certain form of sodomy? Same with 2 females. If one refuses to wear the strap-on or be the recipient of it, or if one is only on the giving or receiving end of oral, can the "marriage" be annulled? Has this been thought out in the US or Canada?

Gay/Lesbian marriages are not recognized in this country. There are Liberals trying to make it otherwise.

Check out this petition and let me know what you think:

Help Save Marriage!

The Massachusetts Supreme Court is expected to rule this summer that homosexual marriage is legal. Because of the "full faith and credit" clause in the U.S. Constitution, that means that every other state may be forced to accept the legalization of homosexual marriage by recognizing the Massachusetts law.

Homosexual marriage will soon be a reality if you fail to get involved! Sign the following petition supporting the Federal Marriage Amendment. (H.J. Res. 56)

»A Petition to Members of Congress«

Traditional marriage between a man and woman is the God-ordained building block of the family and bedrock of a civil society. Therefore, I urge your support of the Federal Marriage Amendment to protect traditional marriage between one woman and one man. The amendment states:

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this constitution or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.

Oh, btw, welcome to FreeRepublic.com !!

Thanks for the welcome and intro. The petition is excellent and I have signed and forwarded to family and friends. I only hope gets through Congress without any liberals putting up roadblocks.

Excuse me, I had to finish vomiting.

Oh...the filth and degeneracy being spawned under the psychotic leftist government of Canada...

EEEEEEwwwwww! (I still am shuddering and got the willies from that picture...Good God...)

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Where are you all coming up with this nauseating imagery? I think y'all are spending far too much time on sites that would have stuff like that posted...

Please...enough with this already...the article and photo are bad enough...

"I guess next animals will be able to wed and have the same benefits as traditional married couples"

*sigh* Tired old argument #3572. Animals can't consent. Humans can.

P.S. For many centuries, in a "traditional married couple," the wife was the property of the husband. I do hope you're not asking to return to that particular tradition.

You mean I am not impressing you, a newbie.

Since I am not posting the way I am to impress you I could really care less what you think.

[breakem]

as a man I was hoping we'd return to the old Mormom tradition. LOL!

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe! Sorry 'bout that. I probably should have posted this one instead ??

I used to have that pic a long time ago, but the URL died.

I found it again today on this thread:

Gays Flock to Divorce Court

Now that a Canadian court ruled in favor of homosexual marriage, it would be only a matter of time before some Muslims and Mormoms demand the right to polygamy.

Biblically, the wife was never the "property" of the husband.

Hey, they have every *right* in our society as it stands today to live together...but the law has always been the law.

Question...you answered my "jest" about animals....but not child molestors and children....or even 25 year old men and 14 year old girls....a 14 year old can "consent"...should we make that acceptable and legal?????

Consent is not always the basis of legality.

[cherry_bomb88]

What's your take on all this????

[Puppage]

Don't look & it will go away.

"Question...you answered my "jest" about animals....but not child molestors and children....or even 25 year old men and 14 year old girls....a 14 year old can "consent"...should we make that acceptable and legal?????"

a) Child molestation is a crime of violence. Marriage isn't, or shouldn't be. You can't compare apples and bicycles.

b) Should we make marrige between a 25 y/o and 14 y/o legal? My personal opinion, no. Minimum age in most states is 16, I think 18 is better, personally. But that's just me. [I'm against a 14 year old boy marrying a 25 year old woman, too, btw.]

c) Doesn't it strike you as odd that age of consent and minimum age of marriage are different?

d) I won't be doing much reading of FR in the next few weeks; I'm assisting at summer school (local community college) and have a ton of writing to do, so don't be offended if I don't answer immediately.

[cherry_bomb88]

Just one question for you......why do YOU think it should be legal?
