IF it were not so serious it would be funny.

We lecture the world about human rights yet consistently deny equality to many of our own citizens.

Here's a wonderful video of an intelligent and compassionate child before his mind gets corrupted by the hate and evil espoused by some adults and posters within our society>>>>>

OMG you can just tell that child is seriously damaged by the news that a man can marry a man.

Great video.

It's called diversion.
Then my nephew must be confused by everything. He just randomly gets up while you are talking to him and goes to play.

OR it could be that children tend to have short attention spans.

You know, the vitriol and hate I see is always from the militant far right. You can find many of them on date sites, they consider themselves "christian" but play on the side. I think alot of militant christians are in denial about the state of their marriage. Look at Newt Gingrich,lol.

You'd be more convincing if you didn't blatantly lie about what I wrote.

The phrase was "one of the first". Not "first". Please don't lie. It should shame you.

5% of the world's nations have enacted same-sex marriage laws. That puts them in the same league as Connecticut, which was the 3rd U.S. state enact same-sex marriage -- yet, that put the total at 6% of all states. How about Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President -- was he "one of the first" Presidents? Of course he was. Yet, proportionally, he came further down the President line that France will come down the same-sex marriage line.

What the heck, maybe you don't even understand the concept. In fact, given your ALLCAPS anger, and obsessive use of the exclamation point, that you're simply blinded by some sort of weird rage. That's too bad.

France will be among the first countries to enact same-sex marriage, and they should be applauded for that. Your petulant inability to understand that simple phrase is silly, pointless and childlish, and ultimately denigrates the expansion of civil liberties that is soon to happen in France.

I suggest you grow up.

I don't lie I can read and comprehend written prose a skill you apparently lack.

I copy in caps because I have poor vision on the computer screen.....IF you checked my threads/posts you'd be aware of this fact.

You are obviously the "MAD ONE"....... ROFLMFAO...I'm rather enjoying the thread and exposing the Homophobes!

The rest of your post is nonsense and I don't waste my time responding to nonsensical gibberish.

Your posts betray immaturity and lack of education.

Now begone before someone drops a house on YOU too!

Just why should Americans give a crap about what France does?

Do we see new threads started with topics like:

New African country bans homosexuals

or

Egypt to put to death homosexuals

Gays just have to keep on propagandizing themselves don't they?

Just think, when France turns into a Muslim country they'll have a ready-made list of people to arrest....
