Chris Christie on Friday vetoed a bill that would allow same-sex couples to wed

[bill1971]

Phew, what a relief. I'd hate to see gays able to marry.


Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

 

[PierzStyx]

I am relieved. And yes I'm being serious.

Now if we could just get someone to make the next step and get government out of heterosexual marriages we'd be set. The more government is out of the bedroom and personal lives the freer we become. The government has no lawful right in being involved in recognizing any type of relationship, gay or straight. Its unconstitutional and its immoral. Much better to trade the privileges government gives us to sell out our personal lives to its control, for our liberty.

Who gives a crap? NJ already has civil unions that bring with it the same govt approval. Get a civil union and call it a marriage.

They discriminate against heteros as well, as heteros are not allowed to get a civil union in NJ. That's right, homosexuals have a privilege that heterosexuals don't have in NJ.

Who gives a crap? Hmm, only those viewed as second class citizens, based on an ancient mythology.

 

[Keith and stuff]

He seems to want the people of NJ to vote on it. Let's see if that happens.

Well if you want to make everything equal, what's wrong with the marriage bill? Then gay and hetero can both call it a marriage.

I'm not allowed to get a civil union in NJ, am I a second class citizen?

 

[bill1971]

I agree govt should be out of marriage, but until it is universally out of it, it is a shame to have the govt continue to discriminate.

Well I'm against the whole idea of govt approved marriage status. My wife and I had a private ceremony with our families and have private contracts for goodies. To hell with govt marriage.

Okay, but since it exists, and since it confers tax benefits that allow people to have less money stolen from them, why not let gays have it too?

To hell with government in general.

As far as new jersey is concerned (topic of thread) they already get that benefit. re: civil unions.
If you want to discuss federal level, well that has nothing to do with the OP.

Yes, but you have a complaint about these equal rights being named something different, do you not? So let's call them the same thing.

Good for him. He stood up for limited government by vetoing this bill.

Chris Christie? Somehow I doubt that's why he stood up.

Lol, yes, that's what he did.

 

[cindy25]
