why should the gays complain? they're free to marry anybody but the person they love. that's a bunch of people, like half the earth's population.
Who is "they"? And you do know that judge was a Republican appointee, right? Reagan IIRC.

ZOMG get out the magic glitter - heterosexuality for everyone!!
Exactly.
Why stop at s?
What's wrong with polygamy if everyone is a consenting adult?
What's wrong with incest if everyone is a consenting adult?
I mean, really. There is something to be said of humanity creating an IDEAL, a way of life that has worked for millenia.
The path we are on now, gots, daughters marrying their dads, sisters marrying brothers, if we truly want all this "do whatever you want because I tell you that I was born this way" at ude, we are going to live in a disgusting, sick, backward society.
that's exactly what will happen and within 6 months I bet. book it. the end of civilization as we know it.
MiamiHeat now: Look, if gays want to marry, they can marry the opposite gender!
MiamiHeat then: Look, if blacks want to get a job/vote/live normally, they can just move to another state!
Freedom!
What's wrong with it socially? Or cons utionally? You are aware there's a difference in supporting the right to do something, and supporting the thing itself.
I mean, I'm not a fan of KKK rallies, but I would defend their right to have them. Would you?
Indeed -- if one believes government should be in the business of marriage and believes in equality, what are the legal reasons against it?
Ideal according to whom?I mean, really. There is something to be said of humanity creating an IDEAL, a way of life that has worked for millenia.
You still haven't said how all this is going to affect you personally.The path we are on now, gots, daughters marrying their dads, sisters marrying brothers, if we truly want all this "do whatever you want because I tell you that I was born this way" at ude, we are going to live in a disgusting, sick, backward society.
Freedom for everyone
or
keep our way or life.
If someone wants to marry their sister, father, or mother, why not?
Wait, if sexual preference is valid grounds for special privileges, then why stop there?
What other places of preference can we change with new laws for these special peoples?
What would be that wrong with living in a country so absurdly free that a man could legally marry another man? You're still free to disagree that it is right, as maintaining one's own conscience has not been outlawed. Yet.
Can blacks choose to be white?
Can gots choose to love a woman?
I don't care what they do if they create a NEW ins ution for it.
Just don't muddy up marriage with that garbage.
Marriage = Man and woman
New ins ution = same sex couples
Why would allowing gays to marry be a special privilege?
Please explain.
So it's not "separate but equal."
It's "equal but separate."
I see what you did there.
No, they should not have the right to do them.
It incites violence and instability within the population.
Protesting peacefully, holding rallys for productive, positive efforts should be completely supported and protected.
Holding rallys out of hatred for another citizen, no matter the reason, incites violence and should not be allowed.
shouldn't you go ahead and explain how you have zero respect for women, too?
Are you not free to regard the first definition as the one and true definition if you so desire?
The content of their speech has been pretty clearly cir scribed by the courts over the centuries. If they are not violating those precedents, they are free to rally as they please.
Marriage is not a publicly funded ins ution. It is entirely up to the couples, the people to decide if they want their ins ution changed.
how would it change their marriage?
Once you muddy up the waters, you can't tell the difference anymore. The power of suggestion is strong.
I don't want the idea it's OK to be a got spreading to impressionable people and children.
Mixing them in with the ancient human ins ution of marriage "normalizes" them.
I don't want that. They are asking for a rare and unique situation in human history, and it should be noted as so.
Wrong. It is a publicly recognized ins ution that gives those who marry special benefits. I'm all for government getting out of that game.
Then you agree individuals should marry whomever they wish.It is entirely up to the couples, the people to decide if they want their ins ution changed.
Great.
That would be true if marriage had nothing to do with the government. But since marriage DOES afford certain privileges, that argument is moot.
If you want to argue the government shouldn't have anything to do with marriages, and it should just be a civil ceremony, feel free.
Why is it so rare and unique?
Why do teh gheys scare you so?
You know what else is rare and unique? Women suffrage. Guess we should start pointing that out too.
You can have your opinion all day; others think the idea of a sexual being "normal" is fine, like myself. Again, there's a difference between supporting something and supporting the right to do something.
