If we reproduced asexually, there would be no need for marriage as each person would create offspring without involving another person or persons, and no practical distinction would need to be made between those who formed lifelong bonds and those who did not.

Since homosexuals form bonds but do not reproduce, they don't need to have their relationships defined by marriage since fruitless homosexual unions are of no consequence to society or children.

Not anymore, even assuming it was once thus. The old ways are done. Good riddance.

Well you just be sure to let us know when homosexual couples start creating children.

I am male. My wife is female. We have no children, by choice. Our marriage is no less valid.

This thread is not about allowing others to get off on sexual deviations.
If they kept what they did behind closed doors, there wouldn't be such public concern.
Yet, they insist on trying to legally force all of us to honor their sexual deviations.
They insist on indoctrinating children in schools, regarding homosexuality.
Many have harassed me & others regarding this & we don't want a minority to take over any aspect of the legal system, thereby denying our rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion & other rights.

If they were fighting for something healthy, that would be one thing, but this is not healthy. The gay agenda is full of lies - obvious lies - like what is natural & not... even denying their own natural way of being conceived! To base laws on lies is ridiculous & harmful & I & others will do what we can to ensure that truth & the good of society wins over legallizing lies that involve medically, psychologically & socially harmful behavior.


You are so full of judgments, hate and only god knows what.

Which is irrelevant to the legal matter of government recognition of marriage, as the ability to procreate or the intention to procreate is not a necessary requirement to wed.

Until such a requirement exists, the procreation argument is nothing but idiotic blather to bring up in regards to legal marriage.

*yawn*

Marriage isn't about making kids. Hell plenty of singles go around banging every chance they get and get plenty of kids running around, but according to you "marriage is about making kids".

Your argument holds no weight whatsoever and until it becomes LAW that people who are married have to produce children (which will never happen, by the way) then you're just using an old-hat topic to argue something that's going to happen in due time.

Marriage is about love first and foremost. Baby-making? A far, distant second.

Do you really believe all that crap you posted?
'Black' is a very loose term. Most of your 'modern' black americans are africans that were mixed with white at some distant point but then mixed mostly with their own race, intermixing with some others every now and then. They are not truely 'black', but a mix of different races. You also have ones who mixed more often or who are from other countries. You could very easily have someone who has a black parent and who some would consider 'black' but might not be obvious from the skin tone...they could be taken for white, hispanic, asian, etc. Just like that case, there are also gays who act even straighter than they might otherwise because they want to be normal. You also have ones who must act as girly as possible. Then you have the majority inbetween. My question is how could you not believe what I said?

Her bo probably dumped her for another dude.

I guess religious discrimination isn't a civil rights issue, then.
