I think the agenda behind gay marriage is to allow gays and lesbians the freedom to marry, duh.

Heck, the OP might as well be upset about blacks and whites marrying too and just round out their hatred towards others.

Actually, we're talking about legalization here, not 'acceptance' -- but then, perhaps you can't distinguish between what you dislike and what you want banned by law. Personally, I don't care for your repugnant bigotry. But I don't want to see it banned, noxious though it may be.

But then, I'm not a control-freak who wants to outlaw what with which I disagree. YMMV

I doubt the President cares about 'losing' the votes of regressives, who overwhelmingly oppose him anyway. You've probably got no more than two more Presidential elections in which there will be a major political party opposed to same-sex marriage. Even Republicans can see which way the wind is blowing.

Once 'inconceivable,' Republican leaders sign pro-gay marriage brief - U.S. News

So two men loving eachother is immoral but being hateful towards them is the right thing to do?

Sounds like a ****ed up standard of morality to me

I really don't understand what justification people have for being against homosexuals other than "ewww I think they're icky", it just doesn't make sense

In the absence of such compelling information, and especially in light of the damage to the instituion resulting from overly-liberal divorce rule changes in the last half-century, I must oppose such disrupion in strong terms.

However, if someone can show clear and convincing evidence that any of the aformentioned modifications would definitively and substantially make society as a whole, better, I would be open to change. I see multiple partners as having the best and most-rational chance of meeting that standard.

NOPE, why would I be upset about that? Gays like to bring the race thing into the debate, but the reality is, as long as they are different genders and produce viable off spring, who am I to question why a man and a woman decide to marry.

If however, blacks and whites weren't able to produce viable off spring, I would question the validity of these unions.

Well it is good to know you have a line.

What about those that cant produce children or don't want children?

The real agenda is for churches to lose their 501c3 tax status. The legal theory is based on Bob Jones University losing their 501c3 for not allowing interracial dating.

I used to report on political organizations and have to many meetings at grass roots organizations and NGOs.

Gays have children, both bearing and adopting. That the other partner in the marriage is not the biological parent of that child is no more relevant than they fact that opposite-sex couples adopt children.

You are flailing about, trying to find some rationale to excuse your bigotry.

And you're failing, miserably.

So, gay couples can't actually have children with each other, they need the opposite gender in order to procreate. What a fascinating phenomenon.
