I still don't care. Yes it should be legal. Gays are equal citizens.

Again, leave us alone because most of us are sick of the subject.

One more post on the subject. I predict they will never be happy. As soon as marriage is legal for them they will immediately file a lawsuit against the Catholic Church so they can be married there as well, then the Baptist ect. It will never end.

That's the way I am reading it.

"Breeding pairs" have no special right to enter into marriage vs. non-breeding pairs - heterosexual or non. There is no quota for the amount of people that can get married, with "natural breeders" given preference over the infertile, old, or impotent!

Seriously dude, this is like high school level civics stuff. No excuses for this level of ignorance.





I bet this argument sounded better in your head than it does once you typed it out onto the screen, didn't it?
Gee, I didn't know I had to get married to become a breeding "mare" . Seriously, I hate the very thought of being married.
But then, I don't have any god in my life. I enjoy living my life on my own terms. No place for sky daddies here.

Are single mothers "freaks of nature" too? Sure I used a man to "breed" but we have never been a "couple".
Again, your god is not a part of everyone's life. Keep it to yourself, or take it to the religious forums.

Property took many forms: cattle, land, children, whatever was considered to be of great value at the time. In the United Kingdom, a requirement for a public announcement in a Christian parish (banns of marriage) was introduced by the Roman Catholic Church in 1215. This set the precedent for marriage as is recognized by the Christian community.

Proof religion established marriage? It's okay. I'll wait.

Wrong. It's a secular, civil, LEGAL agreement handled by the government. The religious entity doesn't give you the tax breaks or other benefits the government does.

It's okay, take all the time you need to realize you're wrong.
