Sanity is allowing Americans to exercise the right to marry whoever they want so long as both parties are over the age of 18, of sound mind and judgment, and are willing and able to sigh a marriage contract.

To deny that is insanity and goes against what our Forefathers wanted for this country - Americans freed.

Why? Just go for a civil union and be done with it. Why the hell are some so hell bound on pretending to be something you arent? Why destroy the meaning of one thing simply because youre odd balls and not the same?

Good for Australia. I hope they're better at withstanding the wrath of homos and liberals than America has been. I think in time they will be forced to give in, unfortunately. When the rabid left wants something, they're willing to do nearly anything to get it, and they are relentless.

I never realized that Americans being able to exercise the rights, freedoms, and liberties they are entitled to and protected under the 14th Amendment constituted "dark times".

They already have same legal rights as anyone else.

What they want are special rights.

Harrier never once mentioned religion in this thread.

Why are you bringing up such an irrelevancy?

There absolutely is a difference between man/woman and whatever weird coupling you can come up with. One has had a key purposeful ability since the beginning of time, the other hasnt and never will.


Women can have kids and men can't, so what? We are not here just to give birth. And there have been gays from the beginning of time.

Australia was partially founded by a bunch of criminals.

Aside from having broken the law, criminals tend to be a rather moral lot.

Good on ya, mates!
