So by changing the name it will make everything cool? WAKE UP ! Call it marriage, civil union, or whatever. It is not a religious thing it is a LEGAL thing. Try going to a church and getting a divorce is marriage is just "religious".

Government is a reflection of morality, it is called societial norm. Right now in this counrty the norm in society is that marriage/civil union or whatever is between a male and a female. The traditional, natural fmaily unit. It is a small very vocal minority that is : because they cannot get there way.

You are absolutely right. It IS a LEGAL thing, because the government MADE it that way, and I believe they were out of their jurisdiction to do so.

I'd like to know where it says in our constitution that government has the right to dictate morality. Last I saw was that its job was to regulate trade, make laws to protect rights, and provide defense.

The John Waters 'Simpsons' was on last night; "He didn't give you GAY, did he?"

Yes. The Homer Phobia episode. Good episode.

I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my homosexuals fa-laming.

Seems easier to outlaw marriage.

On the news, the radio, the newspaper, talk shows, hollyweirds announcing their sexual preference, etc. etc., and it is already an issue in the next election. Sure, they are not getting busy in front of me in the streets, but I do think the issue is in everyone's face everyday.

In that case, so is heterosexuality.
Damn married couples... all over the place, on the news, in the newspaper, on talk shows, hollywood straight actors announcing their mariages, and it is already an issue in the next election.

Homer: Marge, the boy was wearing a hawaiian shirt.
Marge: So?
Homer: There's only two kind of guys who wear those shirts: gay guys and big, fat party animals. And Bart doesn't look like a big, fat party animal to me...
Marge: So, if you wore a Hawaiian shirt, it wouldn't be gay?
Homer: Right. Thank you.



I'm in the mood for a little levity...ya' know, I'm feelin' a little gay right now.

If it's good enough for Slim Whitman to sing about:

"Live and let live and be happy
Love and let love and be GAY
Smile at all of life's problems
You'll feel much better that way"

I don't have a problem with it.

I got your back Barbara...
Although I don't really agree that it is natural, I don't believe it is our government's place to dictate morality. So I don't think they have the right to tell me I can't shack up with a guy if I want to.

And to further press the issue, I don't think it's the government's job to recognize marriages. What I do suppose is their right, is to recognize civil unions, and that all marriages should be civil unions, but not all civil unions a marriage. To me, marriage is a religious institution, and the only ones who should be able to 'officially' recognize a civil union as a marriage, is a church.

Government should be a reflection of morality, not an enforcer of it. What I want to do inside the privacy of my own bedroom, or who I want to love, is between myself, my bedmate, and my God.

I give a rat's @$$ what the government thinks.

The funny thing about your post is that you couldn't be more backwards.

Marriage and unions are exactly what the government needs to control. I will give you just a few of COUNTLESS reasons why:

So 8 year olds are getting married and having kids by 10,
So 40 year old perverts aren't marrying and knocking up your 13 year old daughter,
So McCoy brothers aren't marrying their McCoy sisters,
So Utah polygamists aren't sleeping with their 12 year old dauthters,
So Juan-Manuel Estaban doesn't marry Petunia just to become a citizen and then bring the wife and the rest of the 64 children behind him,
So Mohammed Al Bin-Barak doesn't marry Claireborn Clarrington for 10 grand so he gains citizenship and blows your Port Republic house off the face of the planet, (and other reasons to protect against duel citizenship).

And you're wrong about the church. If that what was so important, than why are the gays wanting to get government approval so much? Why don't they just invent the "Church of the Holy ### Grail", all marry themselves off and stop wasting my taxpayer money?
