Funny how liberal people want to use science when it pushes their agenda but ignore it when it doesn't fit with their narrative. Men and women are supposed to be with one another so they can procreate and perpetuate the species. Two men or two women cannot do that.

Science doesn't really enter into the debate. Men and women marry all the time without intending to have children. And marriage isn't required to have children.

So basically you don't like gay marriage and you just want everyone to agree with you, yet no one is forcing you to marry another man, unless you want to. Are you secretly attracted to men?
A black person is not fundamentally different in his everyday behaviors than a white person. It's just a skin color. Homosexuality is different.

That being said, sin is sin is sin and in the eyes of God, we are all equal as far as our sins being grievous. The different is made in repenting.

It does. It goes back to what the intention was when we were created. Whether you believe in God or not, perpetuation of the human species has always been accomplished through male and female reproduction.

Civil rights are not being violated. You can do anything another normal man or woman can do.

This entire issue has been blown out of proportion with stupid rhetoric

The government has no business validating or invalidating marriage between anyone.

This is my Google search:
gay people killed for being gay

This is the result:

Nope. How would a man explain only men staying overnight at another man's apartment. Why should a gay person need to hide who or what they are in the first place?
I never said homosexual should have to hide their sexual orientation. I said that they can. Gays can and have "been in the closet". A black man during Jim Crow days did not have that advantage.

If the other 2 people are poor men they are still going to be without marriage prospects. I say let people choose. Let people write their own contracts and get the gov out of marriage or at least the defining benefits aspect.

That's true for procreational purposes. But it has nothing to do with marriage.

50 years ago 96 percent of americans opposed interracial marriage, now 85 percent plus are fine with it.

you will see similar numbers with gay marriage in 20-30 years.

sure, some wont like it, still some that dont like interracial marriage, but too bad right?
