I say we should pick a small segment of the population. Left handed people. Let's put a ban on left-handed marriage on the ballot next year. The majority of the population is right handed, so it should pass easily. Let's see how many minority groups we can limit civil liberties to.

Since I am attracted to men and women, I can pretend to be both gay and straight for the sake of semantics, and I'll make decisions for both orientations in that case. So I say that no one should have the right to get married. And no one can say I'm discriminating since I'm both gay and straight. I'll be an equal-opportunity discriminator, as if that phrase makes any sense at all. Nifty! I'll get to work now on banning both opposite and same-sex marriages, and no one will have an argument when they say that it doesn't affect me in either case! LOL!

100% success here on my marriage. I'm a faithful husband and she is a faithful wife. Then again, we chose each other based on the same principal beliefs, same political understandings and an absolute disgust for the people who cheat or disrespect their partners.

Problem is, too many marriages these days begin by incompatible partners based on the wrong reasons and without the right commitment. /shrug

I think straight marriage should be banned because some kids grow up in broken families.
Also, I am uncomfortable in my own sexuality so I don't think others should have any.
Straight sex squicks me out so no one should have it. I know they say it's natural, but I don't agree.
I think they have a choice who they're attracted to.
I don't want people who love each other to be allowed to share their lives.
I am inferior/superior, inferior/superior, inferior/superior, etc. to others.
Is this the part where I call on some sky daddy thingy?
