WRONG.

10% of black voters - 70% voted for the ban on gay marriage.

Black people aren't religious as a result of poverty. Religion has just been something that we have clung to throughout the hundreds of years to "make sense" and/or seek strength in the oppression we faced. It is natural that these religious beliefs are passed down to children. Has nothing to do with poverty.

I'm Gay, and I'm flatly opposed to Gay marriage, guess that makes me a racist!

Lots of Gay people opposed to Gay marriage!

Lots of heterosexuals opposed to hetrosexual marriage also!

Yes, it is true that people who are against same-sex marriage are more likely to be racist. It's called crank magnetism.

Actually, if you looked beyond your own hatred, you would see that there is no actual correlation where you think there is.

No, you are not allowed to use CNN as an example. You always moan and whine about the Liberal bias there, why would it change now?

Default Those against gay marriage are more likely to be racists

Both choices are legal, popular, and normal.

Have one year where all marriages from that date forth are null and void, and if you want to keep the one you had, you have to renew it at no cost. Hey, at least most of the newly "civilly unioned" couples would be happy, right?

I don't think homosexuals are against the rights of heterosexuals to retain their original marriage boundaries, but they want the same rights. No one is telling anyone else they have to marry a man or woman, but that you should have the right to decide either way.


And here is where the gay bull sh^t meets the road. Marriage, which has to this point been so important to homosexuals seeking to marry their own sex, is now thrown out the window provided it can be denied equally to heteroseuals.

Here's the question none of the homosexual marriage advocates have ever been able to answer. If marriage isn't based on the natural sexual design of males and females such that one man should marry one woman, by what objective and logically consistent principle is it limited to only two persons?

You people like to slither out of everything.

What is stopping a marriage of two women to a man or to men to a woman?
