Really. Seeing that what 60+% of marriages end in divorce why not just civil union everything. Marriage is in my opinion a religious rite. What does the government need to involve themselves in religious matters. Ugh so sick of hearing about all this

Homsosexual have slowly been promoting their gay agenda on the US for some time. Look at TV/Movies. Look at how many gays were portrayed as gay in the 30's, 40's, 50's so forth and so on. Now, every dang show has flaiming homosexuals, same sex marriages with the required Chinese adopted child raised by them.
Makes it very difficult to watch TV with my kids and having to explain to them it is a fantasy lifestyle of some unfortunate people of society. Or, we just dont watch much tv. The agenda is to make everyone think it is okay to be gay, which it is not. Its a unatural lifestyle. That is my opinion as well as the majority of the planet, from humans to animals.
As a part of society, we will be represented in society. If you don't like seeing TV, movies, etc, don't watch them.

Homosexuality happens in humans, and animals, so it IS natural.

That's easy to fix: change the law.

The judgment that coercion voids a contract is a moral judgment. Laws change as morals change.

I'm asking: is that judgment just your personal opinion, or does it come from some coherent system of morality you subscribe to?

jjrose, you still haven't answered the question: do you have any objections to same-sex sibling marriage?

Until such time as they figure out what makes you tick, and are able to correct it during gestation.

Then you will eventually become but a footnote.

Children can be, and have been "groomed" into accepting abuses by adults that continue after they are no longer minors.

Do you think that only people who follow some book have morals? Golden rule is number one. It predates organized religion.

beleive what you want. Its a gentic disorder, and its gross when you think of people like Barney Frank consumating his marriage with his now husband.
But, I have already said I choose what I watch. So, no need to try to trump me. You will be represented in society as people, no doubt, but as far as marriage goes, I will always vote no. Its not good for Kids to think a marriage between same sexes is okay. Its not.

I did answer. As long as siblings who can not reproduce, and were not raised together wish to get married, I have no problem with it. That would get rid of the genetic issues, and the coercion issues.

Mother nature has a tendency to throw some serious curve balls when tinkered with.
Be careful what you wish for.

Don't think about what two people do in their bedrooms. I don't.

Why do you have an obsession with other peoples sex lives?
