I have many gay friends, some very close to me.

How close is very close?

...not to mention hairdresser for my wife, both mothers, and my (step-)daughter. A year later, he was godfather for my son.

Spoken like a true Libertarian.

Yuck!

And I agree with pugmehon on this.

Why, thank you... Though, you'll get a lot of libertarians disagreeing with you on that, when you hit foreign and defense policy.

....I'm considering starting a ping list called "my generation is full of idiots"...

I live in a fairly conservative area of VA, but I can still find a few people my age who think Gay marriage is a great thing.....I had the misfortune of going out on a date with one of them...somehow much to my headache...the conversation turned to politics and it just went downhill from there....

[JesseHousman]

I'd also say being married has made me more pro-gay-marriage...

You just keep prattling like a pro-homosexual agendist.

Surely there is a website for sycophants.

[JesseHousman]

And I agree with pugmehon on this.

Somehow I guessed as much. I must be psychic and voila!(a little French lingo here to show my lack of prejudice against frogs and other genders)it demonstrates your support of an agenda by homosexuals for America.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

You just keep prattling like a pro-homosexual agendist.

Problem is, the Dems don't want me, because I oppose gun control, support Bush's tax cuts, and support Bush's foreign and defense policy. The Libertarians don't want me, because I believe in God, support Bush's foreign and defense policy, and don't demand that everything be changed overnight.

That kinda leaves Republican sites as my only option. What's more, most Republicans don't try to run me off for not toeing the GOP line -- unlike most Democrats and a surprising amount of LPers.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

No need to throw in French on my account. I have no love lost for the surrender monkeys either.

[rintense]

Were you and your college roommates making what you planned to be a life-time commitment? That's what I mean by long-term.

No, but my best friend, who is female, and I have vowed to grow old together. So, are we married, according to you? I also plan on taking care of my dog for her entire life. Can she be included? Oh, and my relationship with my brother is also life long? Are we also married?

Young people dont understand the full gravity of what marriage and family is about. I certainly was that way when younger.

Having children wakes you up to the responsibility of carying civilization to the next generation. When you mature, you are less likely to be bamboozled then by specious arguments about marriage being about 2 people who have sex with each-other.

[WOSG]

"For a little perspective, in my teen years there was a lot of hoopla about gay rights and I had a lot of gay friends - thusly I was very pro-gay rights. I am now 31, have three children of my own, and while I'm "tolerant", I do agree that this "marriage" thing has gone too far. I've always had the thought that it's their business, keep it in their house, don't push it on me, and I'm fine with it. This is pushing it on me and mine - invading my house. Bottom line, even though I was raised in the Northwest liberal arena, I am strongly against these "marriages" and have been led to re-think the whole acceptance issue. Does that make sense? There is hope..."

It makes a lot of sense. see my previous reply. I've evolved the same way. I am a tolerant traditionalist, but the rights of homosexuals end when it intrudes on our ability to raise the next generation, and redefining marriage will do harm to children. I dont think this is about an 'older' generation, so much about parents who have lived enought real life to understand that marriage and family should be taken more seriously than the elitists in our culture want us to.

"That kinda leaves Republican sites as my only option. What's more, most Republicans don't try to run me off for not toeing the GOP line -- unlike most Democrats and a surprising amount of LPers."

I'd have to say, for being 'principled' mind-bigots, the LPers are the worst. Step out of line and you are called a "Statist".

Dems and GOPers dont mind your "whacky" ideas, so long as you vote for 'em.

Me? I'm a Reagan Republican. Libertarianism was a teenage fling for me, but I grew up!!

[ Will teens, young adults embrace same-sex ‘marriage’? ]

The cultural legality could concievably embrace teens marrying their "PETS"... or "Woobyies even".. down the line...

Our judges have become "SIT DOWN COMICS"..
and the courts have become comedy central..

Which would a pre-requiste to a fully orbed and robed Gomorrah..

[Celtjew Libertarian]

No, but my best friend, who is female, and I have vowed to grow old together. So, are we married, according to you?

Are you sharing a household? If so, according to common-law in at least some states, you are. Otherwise, no.

I also plan on taking care of my dog for her entire life. Can she be included?

No. A dog is not capable of giving consent. Oh, and my relationship with my brother is also life long? Are we also married?

Sanguine relationships are not considered consensual.
