I forgot to mention that if I were gay I would be trying to out the anti gay politicians. As a gay man you must know someone who knows someone whose seen one of them doing gay things.

Asking for equal rights when it comes to marriage isn't making a gay person's problem your problem. Why do you care who your neighbor marries? Do you think they will pull you into their house and force you into a sex triangle?
This is not about marriage, or civil union would confer the rights gays claim to be denied. It's about the progressive agenda of dividing us into special interest groups, while destroying the American culture and tradtions. I won't play a part in that. Civil unions or nothing - this group is only a small percentage of the whole. Gays have become the bullies, they will never be satisfied. They will always play the victim card, because it works for them. They should be thankful to be the U.S., where they can do as they please, live where they please, with whomever they please. Stop pushing!

why would a GAY PERSON have a STRIGHT MARRIAGE?

btw, i'm 34 and still a virgin. I have a degree in religion and am a good person but I am waiting to find the right person, and when i do i although i live the state that i grew up in with my friends and family and i don't like moving far away from them I have to move FAR AWAY from family and friends to another state to get married, unlike most of you.

I simply don't understand how someone is PASSIONATE about ENSURING someone else doesn't get a right that they get becaue they were born differently.

Again, i don't get it.

what does someone's sexual orientation have to do with 'morality'.

why do some people think this should be up to 'the public' when voting on OTHER people's rights WHILE THEY ENJOY them are unconstitutional?

don't get it.
I don't care about your plight as a human being, we all have those and deal with them accordingly. What I am worried about is that you claim to have a degree and can't manage the very basic functions of punctuality, grammar and spelling.

We're fracking doomed!

Golly don't you know it! Stuff like this makes my head explode.

A degree in religion and he's asking what morality has to do with civilization.

Duh... get a clue. Find out what a clue is first. Then start searching for a clue. Take somebody along who recognizes clues, so they can let you know when you find a clue. Sign up for Clue Recognition 101 when you start work on your "Masters Degree" in religion.

Since you are playing the grammar police, "punctuality" means being on time. I believe you were thinking of the word "punctuation." Somebody with a serious problem comes to this board, and you criticize his grammar while making mistakes yourself.

Homosexuals have acquired the privilege of being able to cohabitate openly without fear of reprisal, which would have been unheard of centuries, or even decades ago; they cannot be discriminated against or mistreated by "hate" crimes or other harassment.

If, one day you find your significant other, your blind determination to be married will force you to abandon your family and friends, but that is YOUR choice to make. Instead of being content to keep the status quo, you feel that you must "make a point". If you would just be happy to live your life together you wouldn't have all this drama.

20yrsinBranson

is that YOUR choice to make TOO? Nope it isn't. since when to straight people have to abandon family and friends to get married? you're FOR makging me HAVE to do this TOO get married.

Why don't you just be happy and live YOUR life with your parnter and not get married?

oh yeah, that's right it's only 'drama' because you get that right and you don't have to worry about it.

How in the heck can you fatham that we're the bulilies when we're the ones with less rights?

and it's not up to YOU deciced. my being born in american deciced that i get the same rights that you do.

STanding UP to a bully (the straight majority) to get what we're already supposed to have is NOT bullying.

so if someone attacks me and i defend myself, then i guess i'm a bully too for 'bullying the bully'.

you are NOT the victim here you have EVERYTHING, NOTHING is being denied to you.

SICKENING POST.

What does a trust have to do with your rave? If I were in your shoes I would seek some therapy.
