From personal experiences...I will never understand the need for a gay guy to loudly announce to an entire room of strangers in a waiting room of any kind "we're gay"; alluding to he and his partner. The entire room was surely on the edge of their seats waiting for that tidbit. Wear it on your sleeve gays are over the top.
It's because being gay was something that people had to hide for so long that being able to finally confess it is a milestone.
Let me get this straight. A piece of paper creates happiness.
I have no problem living together under contract, but that is not called marriage.
No, Bent. Read the Declaration of Independence. Happiness is a right, not a guarantee, that anyone will be happy. The Declaration says happiness is a God given right to everyone. The Declaration was written to declare tyranny, whether coming from government or religion, shall not stand in America.
Faith declares we are all equal in the eyes of God. Our Declaration declares we are all equal in the eyes of our law.
Got it straight now? I can repeat if this is too complicated to wrap your head around the first time. I don't want confusion to make you unhappy, and, after all, if the Declaration of Independence was never written, there would be no Constitution that followed. The Declaration of Independence was the father to the son, the document you claim to revere so much.
Oh boy, the slippery slope fallacy! btw, those things don't affect me.
It's not a slippery slope fallacy. It's an argument that just because something doesn't affect you personally doesn't mean it's not alright. If my neighbors house is getting robbed it doesn't affect me personally, but it's still wrong.
And being an internet grammar Nazi doesn't improve your arguments.
I have strong religious beliefs about marriage. I have a right to that. .
Just like you have your right to have a same sex relationship.
When does your right become more important than mine?????
It's not that it's "more important." Anyone can believe anything they want. The problem is that you are not allowed to impose your beliefs on others for the purposes of lawmaking. Furthermore, due to this thing called the First Amendment that Christians conveniently forget about, we don't make laws based on your religious beliefs.
