Where does this notion that legalization of gay marriage will somehow cause heterosexual marriage and its procreative potential to die off come from? I'm pretty sure sexual orientation isn't contagious. Some people will continue to be born gay and the vast majority will continue to be born heterosexual.

Why not?

The problem with voting on it is yes means yes and no means yes via the courts. How many tax dollars would have been wasted through the court system only to lose like so many other states have.

I don't think it ever would have made it to the ballot box.

Not saying it would have. I am saying it should have.

Many years ago, we voted on women's rights, we didn't allow those rights by default.

The idea that it could possibly be the right way to decide to discriminate against a US citizen by voting for that discrimination is not something I can grasp.

True, but what Wyoming did (unfavorable not to fight but prudent with the tax dollars) was succumb to the Liberal agenda which just reinforces why I call it the plague. My end point is.... what's next on their agenda? Inroads into the elementary education system scares the hell out of me.

Well there's something we agree on, even if we're in different forests

Why do we succumb? Why do we give up?

A lot of gay couples getting married have already been dating for a long time. Longer than lots of straight couples have been married for. Gay couples who have been together since 1972, getting married in present day, are unlikely to divorce seeing as they've been decades together without breaking up.

Also, gay people in general, treat marriage as a serious ordeal, considering they have had to fight for that right, while straight people, have taken it for granted, so when a gay couple wants to tie the knot, they tend to take it pretty seriously and know they want to be with that person.


Now, in about 100 years, when the whole marriage equality and LGBT rights movement era will be a part of history, and equality is far closer to perfect, you're probably gonna see equal divorce rates, but for now, I think there's gonna be far less gay divorces than straight ones.
