You mean, if they have a private ceremony, which does not required your consent, or the endorsement by the government, you still disapprove of it?

LOL - OP was the person who made the thread about a month ago suggesting that adultery be criminalized. Not a surprise that he "strongly disapproves" of same-sex marriage or unions.

Does every other thread here need to be about gay issues? Nothing like hashing something over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I loathe the fact that a consenting adult feel it's their right to do what ever the hell they want with another consenting adult. It is my damn business what other people do because if I do not like it they should not do it and those are the rules in America.

I honestly don't care anymore.

This thread will be the last time I even post about the issue, because I really don't care anymore.

I'm not personally in favor of gay marriage. What I am in favor of is the peoples' right to assemble

If you're in favor of gay marriage and you want to assemble and make your views known, I will not stand with you, but I support your right to a peaceful protest.

I know that gets off of the topic, but I have a reason for saying it here.

The fact is, some of us are just starting to not care. That's not good for your cause. Instead of stating your case in one central location, you're spreading your views all over the place. Shoving it down peoples' throats is going to do the exact opposite of what you thought it would do. People are getting bored, and you're dangerously close to becoming irrelevant. I know that's not what you want.

Good luck with your quest, but try to remember that sometimes less is more.

I can just imagine if that is the approach MLK would have taken.

My views are well established on other threads about this subject.

I'll just reserve my comments because I have aired them already.

I voted. Guess for which option.
