In no country have "gays been getting married for a long time". The first country to give same-sex partnerships any legal recognition was Denmark in 1989; marriages as called such were not granted until 2001 in the Netherlands. Both these countries have populations that had abandoned many important values by the time they started recognizing same-sex marriages. The United States still has a formidable contingent of people with good traditional moral beliefs. I would hate to see us abandon it in exchange for the Lady Gaga version of "morals".

still can't defend the fact that you used a biased website for a bias video that supports your bias, in which said video lied in the first 30 seconds.

When will Cons start taking responsibility for their own behavior and stop blaming it on gays?


Seriously, this **** is getting old. Either start taking responsibility for your own behavior or stop blaming gays for societal ills.

Twenty three years is long enough to see the effects of gay marriage, and so far they are all positive....Divorce rates in Denmark....46% for heterosexuals and only 17% for homosexuals....They must be doing something right....
