What is sensible about marrying two guys who use each other poop shoots for sex?


And how about you address the issue which is removing prohibitions on abnormal and unnatural marriages like incestuous and polygamous ones?

Biblical marriage was very incestuous. After saving Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot got busy with his daughters. And let's not forget the inherent problem of humanity coming from 1 man and 1 woman who necessarily would have to copulate with each other and their children in the beginning, no?

Polygamous is also very natural throughout history, so I don't know where you get your version of history from.

Extremists intend on dismantling traditional religion, family structure, and common value systems.
Practically every state banned civil unions. If civil unions were given the same rights and benefits as marriage this would be a non issue. However, the fed does not recognize civil unions or gay marriage even if the party lives in a state that allows gay marriage. The only difference between striking down DOMA and keeping it is the privileges and rights denied to gay couples. They are still gay and they are still raising families. Congress doesn't have to wait for the SCOTUS to rule. They can pass a law today that says civil unions are recognized the same way marriage is. However, they will never do that.

Your sky wizard has nothing to do with the legal argument and the 50% divorce ratio demonstrates that heteros bastardized it all by themselves.

Aren't we better than that? I mean... look around on the Internet. There are many more than the three: mw;mm;ww marriage scenario's that you consider valid, warming up in the batter's box. I've got absolutely zero problem with continuing to hold the unique pairing of a man and woman as somehow special. It clearly is. Civil Unions for every other kind of human agglomeration is a fine compromise. Or we do the hard work and make a truly egalitarian state of marriage that can encompass all the possibilities.

Address the legal issues first. The entire legal code supports a marriage of 2 people, but not multiple people.

Gay marriage is like training wheels for fish.
You can do it, but why?
A contract for marriage is to merge property rights for the benefit of progeny.
It's been that way for millennia.
Of course, socialism offers other benefits (bribes) to married couples, but that's a different issue entirely.

I still get a kick out of the title to this thread. He says that if you think there's no such thing as same-sex marriage, he turns it around to pretend you're "against marriage equality"....

....and in the same breath, he says he's being "serious and respectful".

What a hoot.

At least it's refreshing to find a gay-advocate with a sense of humor.

I guess I don't understand why they need us boring, old Hetero's to accept them this badly.

An estimated one-quarter of all same-sex households are raising children, according to U.S. Census data, providing one of the first portraits of gay American families.

Same-Sex Couples Census Data Trickles Out: One-Quarter Are Raising Children - ABC News



Gay people are creating families with or without your approval.

So, you were saying what now about merging property rights for the benefit of progeny?

Don't flatter yourself. I don't need your acceptance or approval.
BUT as an American citizen I am entitled to equal protection of the law.

Agreed. There is nothing serious or the least bit respectful. The “equality” part is deliberately misleading as everyone already has the same restrictions on marriage. The homosexual wants marriage expanded to include members of the same sex as genuine real marriage is not for or about homosexuality. Marriage is the unification of the two sexes and bastardizing the definition just to accommodate the perpetually disgruntled 3% will do nothing, nor ever, make same sex “marriage” an equal or equivalent to man / woman marriage.

Wow.
Actually, "the issue" in this thread has nothing to do with incest or polygamy.
I don't mean to be a Spelling Cop--but if you're going to try to insult your fellow Americans and/or their friends, you might want to employ proper spelling.
It blows your credibility and reflects the intellect of those who desire to perpetuate discrimination.
