Oh, how ridiculous! Who's god? I guess yours, since you posted this bile. My church and my god are fine with it.

Massachusettes has had gay marriage for a few years now, and I see no god has sent a hurricane or anything to punich its residents. And I believe MA has one of, if not the lowest heterosexual divorce rates in the country, so gay marriage surely isn't destroying hetero marriage there. Get a grip!

As far as gay marriage is concerned, I have no problem with it. It probably p*sses off the greedy, vulture-like family members who can't wait until their gay family member passes away and then they can steal all of their belongings because the other gay partner has no rights to anything. I think this is so hypocritical considering that these same people wanted to have nothing to do with their gay family member once they came out of the closet.
My family totally did this when a gay great uncle died a few years ago (his partner had already passed). My dad and his siblings, who only saw the man once per decade at best, were suddenly there for the funeral and all over that inheritance - enough that my parents paid off their house and bought new cars. Yet not a penny of it trickled down to me, their gay son.

I've specified in my will and life insurance that the only family to receive anything I have is my partner and our children. Luckily the rest of my family should be long gone and dead by the time I die, so probably not an issue. But for the horrible things my parents have said to me, I don't want them to get a penny of what I have.

The people of the state of California have been betrayed, once again.

We will vote on this again in November.
Maybe you could vote to outlaw bi-racial marriage and to round up the jews, while you're at it.

People who love animals should not be discriminated against. They should be allowed to marry. Celebrate diversity! You shouldn't be so judgemental.

How many animals are able to sign a marriage license?

Allowing gay marriage is not good news at all! I dont like gay people and I am against them. California made the wrong choice by allowing gay marriage. Only men and women should marry and have children. Allowing the gay marriages is unacceptable.

Gee, kwfl, I'd suggest that you not be born gay then.
It's only unacceptable to you, not to millions of others.
Are you against all people who are not exactly like you?
Better hope that you don't have a child who is born gay, either.
Or would you hate them, too?
