GAY MARRIAGE and the RON PAUL supporters ???

[speciallyblend]

Based on my experiences, I think marriage should be banned for everyone.

(That or make it so that a person has to divorce someone before they marry them, so that they can see how truly ugly a person can be before committing to spend the rest of their life with them, but, oh, I'm rambling)

well i do hear you. i married only once and i am happily married(call me crazy),but i can see how folks have been scorned I never thought i would get married

100% against it. They have no right to marry. This is just silly. People aren't born gay folks, they chose it! Damn. Wake up people! They are freaks! Perverted nuts that need help.

You're a freak. You weren't born a bigoted piece of shit, but looks like you turned out that way.

i agree, same could be said for the churches to!!

nah. the churches are way different story. I won't go into it, thank you.

Should people who have foot fetishes be allowed to get married? Oh, I guess that's "normal" so they can.

The fact that we have so many Bible-thumping morons in this movement is depressing. Statism is just another shitty religion. Brainwashed morons.

Marriage arose as a way for a community to approve of a particular relationship, historically for the purpose of raising children. While gay people certainly do end up as parents, I don't see why that means the community should be forced to recognize their relationship as equal to a traditional marriage.

Gay couples should not be raising children. Just as single mothers should not be raising children. The fact that these families happen anyway is no justification to change the standards of what marriage is.

I'm on the side of getting the state out of the business of approving of sexual relationships entirely. The government should neither subsidize or regulate any such personal matters.

No one is forcing anything on anyone. "The community" also includes people who don't see anything wrong with homosexual relationships. Appeals to "tradition" are pretty weak considering the vast array of different social relationships and cultural traditions that mankind has adapted to over thousands of years.

Up until relatively recently, marriage in the West was primarily an economic transaction. Your claim that "gay couples should not be raising children" is just your own nasty opinion.

So long as the government is granting licenses for marriage the should be giving them to all consenting adults because the law is supposed to treat everyone equally.

PS: As an aside, I would just like to say how horrifying it is to see religious nutters shitting up this forum (not directed at you KoldKut). Gah! I wish they would join the Huckabee movement or join some other group for close-minded, indoctrinated, bible-thumping, and sky-god worshiping morons.

i agree but the point is the gop is making this an issue. they think this is going to be a winning issue for 2010/2012!

we better care soon ,or the gop will only sink lower then it already has and tarnish their brandname even further!

Well if the GOP thinks that hanging their hats on Gay Marriage, Sarah Palin or Continuing the War on "terror", then the GOP will be doomed for decades to come.

I definitely think it should be discussed, but the overall point that the GOP needs to get through their thick skulls is that "the Gov" should not be involved in marriage.....Period. This goes for the State Gov's too. It's all a form of control and monitoring. I really hope people will finally ask the question: why is the gov involved at all? What do they get out of it? It should be a rhetorical question.

Government should not be aloud to have a opinion on any marriage.

- If you really believe they don't have the right then what the hell are you even doing on this forum? You don't belong here. If FIFTY consenting adults of the same sex decide that they are all "married" to each other it's none of our f*cking business! You need to rethink what LIBERTY means. It's none of your business what consenting adults do.

there is no such thing as "gay" marriage, because that means we're putting people into groups when really we are individuals. gay marriage should be a non-issue, and the state should not be involved. if the churches deny "gays" to marry, then in liberty i don't see why communities can form new churches that would allow them to do so.

I think homosexual behavior is sinful, and as long as I believe I'm correct on that then peer pressure and appearing old-fashioned, uncool, or even a "homophobe" doesn't matter to me. But in a free society, we can't seriously deny gays their Constitutional right to freedom of association. Our Declaration Of Independence declares that God granted everyone equal rights, so that means if straights have the right to marry, then so do gays. I chose the bottom-most option in the poll.

Finally, some reason even if you don't approve of the behavior.

- I respect this view alot. It's crucial that people realize that there is a difference b/w supporting gay marriage and supporting someone's RIGHT to marry another of the same sex.

I don't smoke. I don't recommend my friends smoke. But I DO support THEIR RIGHT to smoke. This is the position Dr. Paul holds regarding a whole host of issues.
