You really can't have "gay marriage," you know, irrespective of what a court or a legislature may say.
You can have something some people call gay marriage because to them the idea sounds worthy and necessary, but to say a thing is other than it is, is to stand reality on its head, hoping to shake out its pockets.
Such is the supposed effect of the Iowa Supreme Court's declaration last week that gays and heterosexuals enjoy equal rights to marital bliss. Nope. They don't and won't, even if liberal Vermont follows Iowa's lead.
The human race -- sorry ladies, sorry gents -- understands marriage as a compact reinforcing social survival and projection. It has always been so. It will always be so, even if every state Supreme Court pretended to declare that what isn't suddenly is. Life does not work in this manner.

I just read that Rick Warren has apologized for supporting Prop. 8.
Pathetic.
I asked a gay man I work with what he thought of “gay marriage”. He said it was ridiculous and that marriage was for men and women to have and raise children. If you want to leave your partner something after you die he said, put it in a will.
The way liberals on MSNBC put it is “They were born with those feelings(desires), so having those feelings(desires), is like race, so it is a civil right. Plus you are denying their right to happiness”
A Civil right based on sexual desire(cannot be tested and is never defined) . Here in libby Maryland sexual orientation is the same as race as far as employment or housing.
Gay marriage is really about eliminating Christianity.
Where gay marriage is legal, very few gays bother with it. They already have partner benefits.

So I guess this is a figment of our imaginations.
Yes. Advocates of "gay marriage" couldn't care less whether or not homosexuals are happy. Their objective is the destruction of bourgeois civilization and its replacement with a collectivist utopia in which they will call all the shots.
The absurdity of the whole concept of men marrying men and women marrying women is simply demonstrated by asking one question: How do you determine that the "marriage" has been consummated?
In one case, “dung” where it’s typically not found.
You hit the nail on the head.
He did??? Yikes!

It doesn’t really matter what the government/courts say, does it? Why should government be involved in marriage period? Property issues can be decided just like they are for all non-married people. Even children and marriage are not necessarily connected. I think you should be married to have kids, but go get married in a church, temple, las vegas or whatever. But to have the gov’t involved?? Puhleeze. We don’t need their blessing. Taking it out of government hands would end this ridiculous side-show of gay marriage battles. Churches could decide for themselves, as some already have, if they want to marry gay people.
Most gays will give you pics. I'd drop that question.
To all— I put forth the suggestion to stop using the term ‘gay ‘, as in gay marriage. Gay by historical definition means merry, bright, lively. It is yet another word that has been hijacked to hide the true nature of a degenerate behavior. It should be called what it is - homosexual marriage.
I disagree. It should be called queer, not homosexual. Add marriage if you insist, that doesn't make it marriage.
Homosexual is too clinical a word with far too many syllables to use in ordinary conversation.
I have often wondered about government involvement in marriage and how that came about. Of course we need some way to enforce social prohibitions against incest and the like, but beyond that I think a required license is a bit over the top. A relationship is, in my opinion, ordained by God and blessed by Him. Who the heck cares what the government thinks about it.
Same here with the homosexuals I know. I don't know where these militants live, but Texas at least has civilized homosexuals.
My co worker and I live and work in New York City and he is isn’t militant. He is just a common sense type of guy.
No offense, I just look at the homo-radicals in the news and wonder where they come from. You're not incorrect in thinking that many homosexuals are appalled by the militants, and try to distance themselves from association.
[i]My co worker and I live and work in New York City and he is isn’t militant. He is just a common sense type of guy.[/i]
I’ll bet he realizes that anyone can shack up with anyone if they want due to their inalienable rights and that you don’t need an act of congress of judges to let people do what they want to make themselves happy.
He more than likely knows that rights are inalienable and laws should only be there to limit what the government can do to curtail those rights.
Like the "right" of teaching children that perversion is normal?
The issue isn't about "Consenting adults" or "bedroom privacy" or "individual or civil rights" like the advocates of homosexual marriage dishonestly and vehemently insist.
"Gay Marriage" is the "Trojan horse" method of attack by homosexual activists and advocacy groups in the effort to legitimize the perverse behavior of homosexuality in the courts and by legislation. Should homosexual marriage be legalized then by judicial fiat homosexuality would be legitimized across the board. This means that school children by law would be taught that homosexual behavior is a "safe" and "normal" alternative "sexual lifestyle" choice and by law parents will have no grounds to object (regardless of the negative spiritual, moral, psychological, biological, and medical consequences) IOW unconditional approval and acceptance, kowtow or else be hauled in front of a "diversity" tribunal and be charged and arrested for hate crimes and sent to the reeducation gulag. No thanks.
Perversion is not a "civil right" Our founders never intended for Freedom to be the trophy of immorality, depravity just to satisfy a small minority of morally insane perverted degenerates.
