No I apparently live in my "bubble". LOL

I hunt, fish and watch sports. Nordstrom's apparently doesn't cater to my "bubble". Oh well maybe if I decide to take up the world of fashion I will get to know em better.

Not exactly seeing the issue with legalizing that, as long as all parties are consenting.

Psst - you are confusing the Walmart crowd.

Gays are just useful idiots that a being used by the Liberals.
Thank you, exactly the way I feel about many conservatives. They are just useful idiots being used by the conservatives...

If someone can figure out how to make that work, then you are right. The government WON'T have a "right" (or rather, a REASON) to limit marriage between two people only.
You are no different from those who want government to define marriage as between a man and a woman.

You just have a different definition. Same control by government.

You don't support freedom. You support freedom that agrees with your position.

Laws can be changed to accommodate plural marriage quite easily.

It's simple, really. You either want government to define marriage or you don't.

In my opinion all that started as advertisement gimmicks with companies like Benetton and took of from there.
The "law" says corporations are people.....so they can get away with contibuting as much as they want to their politicians.

Once again, you ask this question as if the situation has never occurred. Same-sex marriages are allowed in six states, and churches are not required to perform them. Some do, some don't. It is the Establishment Clause that guarantees the right of a church not to perform marriages which do not correspond to its tenets. Some churches will not perform interfaith marriages. That is their right. Some churches will not perform interracial marriages. That is their right.

You can claim anything you want. But the reality is that same-sex marriage is legal in six states, and the things you keep insisting will happen if same-sex marriage is legalized, in fact, have not happened where it has been legalized.
Really? Who would have thought the pro-gay movement would go after a fast food chain because they don't support gay marriage? Is that the new America? Do what I want or I try to destroy you economically? And if we can use the power of government we will!. (Boston/Chicago). Is that the county you want?

Never heard of One Million Moms I take it. You're just attempting to avoid reality and pretend you guys don't do the same thing. You've already boycotted Target and JC Penney, and demanded Ellen be fired as their spokesperson.

Right wingers are so hypocritical it's disgusting.

Bloomingdale's is much higher end than Nordstrom. Bloomingdale's is only found in very high end shopping districts. Nordstrom's doesn't sell very high end designers like Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.
