[Lakewooder]

Since California began allowing gay marriages, how many straight marriages have been destroyed?

I dunno, haven't seen any stats on it.

I can think of one: California and reality.

But they were living a lie from the get-go.

I can't make the connection of how the two could possibly be related.

Neither can I.

I agree; they're not related.

I think a lot people confused the fact that many of us define marriage as between a man and a woman, with fear that somehow this "gay marriage" trend will threaten our own marriages.

Cheapen and dilute the meaning, yes.

Threaten, nope.

I thought that marriage was about 2 people in love committing for life. How does the fact that they happen to be of the same sex "cheapen" marriage?

It doesn't. I don't know why those who oppose it are so scared.

None as far as I can tell. The fact that strange days are upon us does not change the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman before God. And if you don't believe in God, you are still married based on a promise to each other. I don't really care what gay couples do but they should remember that being legal under man's law doesn't make it right by nature's law. That's all I have to say on the subject. To each his own etc.

This thread is nothing but a shot at straight people and is a stupid as it gets, no marriage has been destroyed and everybody knows it, if your wanting to start an argument then more power to you, this has been covered enough.
