Solving the gay marriage issueFollow

I didn't say 'unique'. I said there were various rights and responsibilites that came with marriage as a de facto arrangement. Yes, you can fill out legal paperwork to grant your non-married partner all manners of the same thing. That's not remotely relevant here. I'll leave it to you to figure out why.

So allowing discrimination is better choice? Keeping things equal is not intolerance. That is like saying segretation was intolerant to the people who didnt want to go to school with Blacks. Seriously, some people need to be forced to treat people fairly, because some can't get past their biased views and will continue to discriminate.

Thats why there is a government to intervene(sp?). To try and keep things equal, or else you would have America in a big revolt. Everyone would be fighting to have power, without a government to try and keep things equal.



No, they are forcing their beliefs on the gay community. All gay people want is to be equal and have the same rights a heterosexual. It is not that hard to understand. So, because Gay people aren't allowing the religious fanatics to prevent them from getting married without a fight, they are considered rebels. FAITH does not equal FACT and is the reason why our constitution is not the Bible.

Preventing marriage because of sexual prefrence is discrimination. Not allowing people to turn their faith into law is not intolerance, it is keeping things equal.



Last time I looked, YOU dont have to go to the wedding, or watch someone have sex with the same sex. Who said you HAVE to celebrate it. That reasoning makes no sense. Government allowing same sex marriage won't change their beliefs, just **** them off.

So here's the solution; the common middle ground in which neither side gets exactly what they want, but both sides get get something they can live with. The word marriage shall remain soley for male/female couples who wish to be recognized by the state as united. Gay couples shall be able to unite, having all the same governmentally recognized rights as strait couples, under the verbage Civil Union.


Not good enough.

IF you don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to vote ever again. There, problem solved!

Had I claimed that they were unique, you might have had a point Of course they do. The fact that they may be obtained via other measures in no way diminishes the rights that come about from marriage.You don't even know what you were arguing about. Which is why you lost.

WTF, are you talking about. You know damn well what a person does behind closed doors is up to them.





And to intervene when needed. So Im intianting violence by wanting equality, you fail.




To you gays wanting equal rights equals fanatic. Wrong. Some one who uses their FAITH in a god to promote unequality just because they think it is wrong, and others have no right to dare question their beliefs, is a fantic.



No you that is personal preference. Obviously you fail to understand the meaning of discrimination.




When the hell do people pay for weddings for people they dont know. Take Civics, US Government then come back and try again.

2 words: "civil unions"

Seems to me a good comporomise.

I want you to know, Kalaria, that I have rated down all of your posts equally. Please stop talking.

I am so fu[/Aqua]cking sick of this issue. I'm tired of fighting over it, I'm tired of arguing and trying to use logic against people immune to logic. From now on, all I have to say to people arguing against equal rights for gays and lesbians is this: fu[Aqua]ck you, moron. That goes for MonxDoT and everyone else. I'm sick of this sh[Aqua][/Aqua]it. I'm tired of people telling me there's something wrong with me or that I'm doing something wrong over an issue I cannot control.
