North Carolina Bans Gay Marriage

[mport1]

Another disgusting example of people believing they have the authority to control the lives of other peaceful human beings. When will people learn that when you attempt to control others, you will eventually be the one being controlled?

I'm truly baffled by the support for these bans. While flawed, I can understand arguments for many other statist programs. However, I cannot understand how anyone can be in favor of this.

Oh the south

Maybe it's because they realize that the government ought not sanction, license, and put it's stamp of approval on... deviant behavior.

Maybe it's because they haven't had their brain turn to mush by willfully absorbing the idiotic and never-ending flood of propaganda which wants to tell them that man-man butt-sex is wonderful, cute, sexy, and sweet.

States can be tyrannical too.

At least it's easier to move out.

Haha, made me laugh.

Actually, I think its much simpler than that. Nobody here knows what the law was about. All you see are signs that say "on may 8, vote for/against the marraige amendment." So, naturally people are like, well.. I don't think gays should get married, so I vote for this.

It was sold in a way that made ordinary christains feel obligated to support it.

Btw, at least its kinda being done right... we all support states rights, and at least its not the fed govt mandating one way or another (yet). The people of NC voted to make the state especially strict on gays, and other domestic partners. If you don't like it, don't live here.

I don't agree with the law, but gay people are just overwhelmingly not welcome into this state...

This is what I was thinking.

Not sure if Don Lapre was being sarcastic or not (I hope he was), but it HAS always puzzled me why people often only talk about MALE same-sex marriage as being "nasty", not female. It's quite a telling phenomenon.

 

[Southron]

Better the state decide it's own laws than a group of federal judges.

The title should read NC Bans Gay Marriage Licenses unless marriage is an institution solely created and defined by the government. If the moral authority for your marriage depends upon government approval, then you have a weak case to start with.

 

[Tankbot85]

makes me sad.

This isn't a statist program. State-based Gay marriage is a statist program, and this prohibits North Carolina from engaging in it.

Maybe they shouldn't be in a position to be putting their "stamp" on any kind of marriages and keep their noses stuck to their own marriages, or lack thereof.

Government, at any level, shouldn't be in the marriage business.

People tend to get pissy when someone else comes into their homes and tells them how to live, but it is always okay for them to stick their noses in other peoples business and tell them (or arrest them if they disobey) what to feed their kids, what to name their cats, and who and what they can have sex with.

I now pronounce you Man and Vacuum Cleaner!

Your comment makes no sense.

There is the real answer to this rather new controversy.

That's because two (or more) men is disgusting and sick, while two (or more) women is just darn hot!

(And yes, I *am* being sarcastic.)

 

[Dianne]

In my opinion, this vote and movement to bann same sex marriage throughout the country is being driven by the insurance industry and other special interest groups; i.e., the U.S. Government for example.

Imagine millions of same sex partners that marry, and now reap the benefits of being a dependent with reduced insurance premiums on the spouse's health insurance policy. What about social security benefits for dependents.

Being from North Carolina myself, I can assure you the politicians here initiate nothing unless there is an ulterior motive that will benefit them or their owners.

Of course they know to play upon the religious "Santorum type" nut jobs to carry the banner, and make it a moral issue rather than a financial issue.

Well all of us in North Carolina can sleep much better tonight, knowing we are now safe from two same sex lovers; who dare to commit to a lifetime together.

As an interesting aside, isn't Don Lapre that guy who was in the tv commercials maybe fifteen or twenty years ago who always said "I can show you how to make MORE MONEY THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE places hundreds of TINY LITTLE ADS in newspapers" or some such thing?

Are you that guy? That would be pretty sweet.
