He is simply fulfilling a campaign promise......one of many that those who voted for him were aware of. He simply needs to get on with it and equal rights implementation is NOT rewarding a "special interest"!

I fail to follow the convoluted logic that equal marriage rights will lead to polygamy etc. ; I thought the Mormons had the lock on polygamy???

of course if i am wrong, then we should probably take a good hard look at all marriage law no?
That remains to be seen but is an invalid question until the same societal support structure is in place for Gay people as for straight. With divorce at over 50%; I think the Gays will be no worse, all parameters considered.

I fail to see where someone posted the statement you claimed....please explain and with a bit more class, if possible???

Because an animal or child can not give informed consent. Because an inanimate object can not give consent, period.

No problem with multiple partners...not my thing, but if they're all of sound mind and of age...

And as to why marriage was promoted as the one true way...well, let's go waaay back in history and reflect upon property rights, chattle...and just how marriage was REALLY preceived until recently.

And did you only get married - if you are married - for procreation? The sole reason? Or was there something more to it? Like, maybe love, commitment...devotion.

Heteros do not have exclusivity on these honorable desires.
You can pretty up your argument all you want with words, but in the end you are living in sin, and you trespass against God by continuing to live like this. I married for love, but I understood at an early age that I was suppose to marry a woman, and only a married couple should be having children.

No matter how you justify it, explain it, or defend it.... Same sex marriage is not natural, is not normal, and is a sin.

When did I complain against others who can have more children than I was able? Oh, you mean those gay couples who want to adopt and help pervert the family unit further? Do you really think a baby who grows up with two mommies or two daddies is going to have a normal outlook on life?

I am totally against same sex partners adopting children, period. You should never raise a child in a house of sin.

God wanted me to have two children for a reason, why I do not know. Maybe he wanted to let me decide if my pride as a father was more important to me than my wife's life was. God has nothing against me personally, I play my role in my family's life and in life overall.

Trying to make something like this into an argument against me and my wife proves that you are not a Christian person and that you have hate in your heart. I am sorry that your life has reached this point, and I will say a prayer for you right now.

I hope that one day obama passes a law that restricts anyone from trying to control others like some laws do. he needs to work on ending the drug wars next and he will have a solid campaign and win for the next elections.

1 Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. -- Matthew 7:1-5

LOL....oh, it's ever so funny to see/and/or watch this kind of thing. Gives me goosebumps of a sort for all of the fuzzy & warm feeling I'm getting. PERVERSION!!!!!! Oh god, not that!!!! Good god man, calm yourself down, pick yourself up, wipe yourself off & start over. I'm sitting here w/my gay nephew who was completely & utterly indoctrinated by me...because I believe in the gay way. Man, he was all about the p*ssy before that, let me tell ya. Thank CHRIST I got to him before the lord took over.
