You know what I mean- gay or straight, homo or hetro. Don't read anything into it that isn't there.

And it's a fact that there is so little serious concern about environmental quality in Oklahoma that not even the Democrats give a damn that Oklahoma Republicans inserted in two places into their state platform that animal waste should NOT be labeled as hazardous. I would think in more civilized states people would really be in an uproar over such an outlandish statement.

Animals have been ****ting since the beginning of time without the need to label their **** 'hazardous'.

Homos have the exact same rights that all US citizens gave.

Some relegious extremist see it as a "badge of honor" to hurt them . "Their" God thinks thats fine.

America should have on the books bias hate crime laws .

That's retarded.

This isn't rocket science. Heterosexual people are allowed to marry while homosexual people are not.

That's retarded.

Calling homosexuals "homos" & also calling something "retarded" shows a lack of intelligence. But then again, your screen name says alot.

Okay, is "homo" not an abbreviation for "homosexual"? But, that's derogatory right?

How many times do people call heterosexual people "hetero" or "hetero's"? But that's perfectly okay, right?

And as for the marriage issue, once again, the primary entry from Merriam-Webster.com:

Main Entry: mar·riage
Pronunciation: \ˈmer-ij, ˈma-rij\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English mariage, from Anglo-French, from marier to marry
Date: 14th century

1 a (1): the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law...

Marriage takes place between a man and a woman; hence, there is no "right" of same-sex people to "marry". Not because they're homosexual, but because of the above-referenced definition.

[the one]

so you will limit people rights based on a dictionary? another book that is made up. wasnt bling bling added to the dictionary not too long ago? thats pretty funny.

why do you want to limit your fellow citizens rights?

ok so dont call it marriage, let the church keep that. but in this civil society, two loving consenting adults in a romantic relationship who are willing to commit to eachother for the rest of their lives should be allowed to.

i dont think a book, be it a bilbe or a dictionary should impede that or infect peoples ideas on equality.

but i thought this was about proteting those targeted by lowlifes?

You need to get a clue. There is a certain word that is an "abbreviation" of negro. "Homo" has been used as a slur often enough to qualify it as such.

Voter used to be defined as a land-owning male. Bet you have no problem with that definition having changed......

I don't have a problem with civil unions; they're just not marriages.
