It's obvious that gay marriage is going to be legal in the US within the next 5-10 years. So why not just make it legal by the end of next week? or the end of the year?
I am straight, I don't like some gay guys, because they usually talk disgusting at work. They talk inappropriately about their bodily functions, always talking about who they think is hot, always staring at people, etc. Always causing drama. I treat gay guys that act somewhat like the rest of society as any other person.
I see all the terrible parents out there today. I see all the unhappy, ignorant, selfish husbands and wives.
Really, I don't care who you marry as long as their 18+ and can consent to contracts.
Republicans - Do you really want to argue about this for another 8 years before it finally becomes legal anyways? Are you not sick of it as am I? Gays are already living together, already adopting kids, already doing PDA's.
Seriously, there is pretty much nothing to lose for you by letting them have their gay marriage, except you wouldn't hear them "complaining" about this subject all the time.
Also, if the Republicans were smart, they'd have John Boner go out to the press Monday morning and say "We are ready to recognize and legalize same sex marriage across the United States! All we ask for in exchange is for ... "
So whether you want them to pass a tighter immigration control, debt laws, voter ID's, you name it. Just have them include one thing the republicans really, really want.
That leaves the rest up to the democrats. They either accept gay marriage or not. I'm sure there are a few democrats in the legislature that say they are all for it , but secretly don't want it. After all, politicians aren't known for their honesty or morals.
The "U.S." can't legalize same-sex marriage by the end of the year.
States manage marriage. Now, the United States Supreme Court could rule that bans on same-sex marriage violates the United States Constitution, in the same way that, 36 years ago, it ruled that anti-miscegenation bans did the same. And that will happen. But not by the end of the year, because no such cases will be before the high court until the 2014-15 term at the earliest (and, it is worth noting, Sevcik v. Sandoval - currently before the 9th Circuit - is fairly likely to be before the Sureme Court during that term).
More likely than not, that case will settle the issue once and for all.
It's beyond me why you think the House of Representatives can make same-sex marriage legal.
Government should not tell me who and how many I can marry.
Are you married?
