Religious groups are free to define marriage however they see fit. The problem is that they also want to define civil marriage contracts along those same religious lines (thereby denying access to the legal rights of civil law to those who don't adhere to those religious beliefs).
Oh noes!!! Hawaii is simply gonna disintegrate and fall into the fiery lavas of hell, just like Massachusetts, Iowa, Vermont, and....oh wait, those states are still around and doing fine. never mind.
nice to see progress in action.
Also those states most be doing something right...they all rank high on quality of life, education, low divorce rates, etc.....
I'm glad to see most people are fine with civil unions.....I don't care what anyone wants to call it as long as I have equal Federal rights(it's just semantics)....I've been with my partner for 28 years this month....but Florida denies even the state right of "marriage"......Good for Hawaii>>>>> Hawaii civil unions bill passes house | News Story on 365gay.com
It's a big problem. Put the gay people in jail until they get over it. Their life style is a filthy habit.
Hard to imagine anyone seriously trying to respond to this without getting a TOS violation, but I will try.
Are you trying to play a game here on who can say the craziest thing??
Seriously, it seems like every time you don't think some of the posts here on CD can't get any nuttier someone proves you wrong. The saddest thing is I have made a comment similar to this multiple times, and time and time again the insanity level goes further and further off the charts.
Everything would be fine if they left the WORD "Marriage" to heterosexuals.
actually this nation would be fine if we just abolished 'Marriage" from all of our legal documents and laws.
EVERYONE gets a civil union.
Since the religious zealots wants to protect the meaning of a word, then they can hold a "marriage" which will carry no legal or federally recognized status.
Remove all reference to Marriage from our law, create only Civil Unions and be done with it.
I am fine with civil unions being legal, and them having all the same rights/bennies as marriage
but dont REdefine marriage
marriage is between man and woman
