That's the same slippery slope argument they use for interracial marriages.
Interracial marriage does not change the fundamental definition of marriage being a union between a man and woman. If there were laws in the past that banned interracial marriages, then I'm glad they were overturned.

Maybe it isn't hurting anything. But neither is somebody owning a gun, putting a Christmas display up on public property or listening to talk radio. Yet all these are under fire by those who think they do hurt people or offend people. You can't pick and choose freedoms and deny others theirs. Or you can but it cuts both ways, you deny others some freedoms and they deny you some.
Thank you!

Keep traditional marriage the way it is--No polygamy and no gay marriage.
Ya, let's keep "traditional" marriage the way it is....with a 50% divorce rate

1 hubby that's rich

and of course the young stallion that I would need for other things. I figure they will age out of the stallion role every few years and I would have to determine their area of expertise for after they are replaced as said stallion.
LOL! But I think all of these men would ultimately give you headaches. I can only handle one of them

Well, she knows of a guy who likes to use horses for more than just... err... traditional riding.

Obviously, this means that if gays get to marry, people will start pushing to be able to marry their dachshund!

Logic are my favorite.

Agree. I think those FLDS types in Texas are nothing but a sex cult, with massive brainwashing of girls/women. I wish there was a way to shut them down as I think they do a dis-service to all religions, and are nothing but a tax scam.

Yes, complete strangers may marry, there is no law that says you have to know each other.

Yes, people marry for financial reasons...like being able to have health insurance.

Putting up a R E L I G I O U S Christmas display on P U B L I C property is wrong.


I haven't seen talk radio under fire...just some things said on it.

Now let's list all the straights who had sex with animals....like the guy in Wisconsin who "fell in love" with a dead deer....and there's more...so that twisted argument is ended.

I am not going to get into an argument about interpreting the constitution.....it is wrong to use PUBLIC land to display RELIGIOUS symbols....and the LAW has backed me up in many cases.
You must be one of those "shove your religion down everyone else's throat and trample over everyone else's rights" types...
