Did you know that there are 1,049 benefits that are denied to homosexual
couples becaues they cannot marry? ____________________

| Uh, yes, yes I do, but to list them all would take forever so I merely
mentioned the few that are most prevalent in the argument. Why i said it
shouldn't even be a debate is because the mere idea of telling two people
of "legal" age and reasonable mind that they cannot legally bind themselves
in which way seems fit is SO absurd I don't know why it's even an issue. ____________________

Let's take a good look at what the constitution actually says are
rights...
after actually reading it... the only thing constitutionally that I can
find about anything even remote is freedom of religion...
If one has a certain sexuality they KNOW for a fact that they are
right...
Religion: A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or
conscientious devotion.
but NO ONE has the constitutional RIGHT to ever be married... ____________________

| Feral: Then take it away from everyone. I'm not talking constitution, I'm
talking rights to ways of life that well, go without saying. If there are
benifits to being "legally" married, and marriage is allowed, then allow
everyone or allow nobody. You could interpret "all men created equal" and
"persuit of happiness" as rights, and not allowing a certain group of
people to be married is NOT consitutionally following "all created equal"
and not allowing a group of people to be married is NOT constitutionally
follwing "persuit of happiness". I'm speaking not constituional rights,
but general "goes without saying" rights that everyone else has. HOWEVER,
if they plan to go forward with the bill that makes gay marriage illegal,
then it COULD become a constitutional fight to make marriage to ANY gender
a right, and then it would be constitutional. However, I think that even
HAVING to have that in the constitution is retarded. I know I keep
circling back to how RETARDED the whole issue is, but well, IT IS. ____________________

bettie I agree... though...*grrins* pursuit is all that is allowed for...
BEING happy is unconstitutional...
I don't think that this issue should be a mandate f the masses, but instead
a personal choice... ____________________

Oh god that is totally the bullshit the dried up old bastards in congress
would say when you got them in a corner, goddamned you for pointing that
out.
Personal choice is where it IS at. If you don't wanna have sex with a guy,
don't have sex with a guy. If you don't want to marry a woman, don't marry
a woman. They say it will dissolve the foundation of the american family.
Fuck their american family, I say.
I was watching the daily show today and a senator was going on about how if
homosexuals were allowed to marry, it would lead to children being born out
of wedlock (?!WTF?!) to which john stewart replied..."Is sodomy THAT
POWERFUL?! That the combination of penis and ass creates some wonder twin
connection activation that results in reversing the laws of nature
and....and..." ?!
These people are grasping at straws to try to make their point, and you
know what? They can fuck THEMSELVES, and I'll laugh when they make
assholes of themselves on television, and I'll laugh when gay marriage
eventually goes through as 100% LEGAL.
And I swear to god today i was boxed in by fucking conservatives in
minivans at a stop light. The van to the right had a bumper sticker that
said "abortion: n: govt sanctioned murder" and the one in FRONT had a
sticker that said "marriage = girl sign+boy sign". I was in a bad mood, so
I honked my horn, flipped them both off, and then went to a different
grocery store. I AM SICK OF THOSE FUCKING BUMPER STICKERS. ____________________
