Ban on gay marriage 'unconcsitutional'

  • Point well taken, Mr. Steve.

    btw, I heard an interesting interview on the radio the other day...

    Hannity.

    She was gay, and was aghast that gay orgs continued to press for

    "marriage", that she felt it was fair to have civil unions, which did get

    them rights they wanted. She said the gay "marriage" battle was not

    constructive, and quite counter-productive, and was causing significant

    backlash in her own life.

    I've never been against civil unions. Don't agree with em, but I understand

    the fairness.

    But the controversy over gay "marriage" - redefining real marriage, and slapping

    people in the face with lawsuits over baking wedding cakes? Forcing pastors/etc.

    to recognize and perform services that they know are not real?

    And pushing the perversion behavior in the face of society?

    Sounds like perverted gay rebels without a genuine cause to most folks.

    That gal was correct, and she and Hannity had a great talk. Civil unions were

    society's correction to unfairness to a very small minority.

    The only thing left, what the conservation didn't get, is politics. vicious, self-destructive,

    in-your-face-if-you-are-a-conservative political aggression.

  • Government should not be involved in any marriage, straight or gay. Let it be a religious ceremony if two people want to do that. If two consenting adults, of any sex, want to be legally bound then let them sign on the line. It would kill this whole debate.

  • It depends on what you call marriage I guess. If you mean it in the legal sense, then sure, a guy's "husband" should automatically have the same rights as another guy's wife, in terms of medical decisions, taxes, etc. But if you want to force a church to bless you, that's ridiculous. I'm not going to take a cheeseburger around to a hindu/muslim/jewish guy and ask him to bless it because I have the right to eat it.

  • It actually sounds like most people here are on the same page when it comes to gay rights, bizarrely enough.

  • Cal, you used the word of a rep for an organization that knowingly hid child rapists (homosexual ones at that) to try to prove your point. logic

    I wasn't proving a point, I just thought the article was interesting. It's not valid to dismiss all opposition of a viewpoint,

    because you claim every single person in an organization is corrupt. That is a common psychological

    A republican does something bad, all republicans are bad? All priests? Every catholic nun? All conservatives?

    that crime you refer to, those criminals should get an immediate death penalty. But all catholics didn't commit the crime,

    nor do they condone it in any way. Come on, Logic - you're better than that. That higher-ups in the Vatican...ie...

    covered it up? Send them to prison. But don't label every single bishop/priest whoever, with the same label

    just for belonging to that religion.

    Oh god, I almost fell out of my chair. Hahahahah

    Cal is great at blaming one group for something, and then crying victim when it is flipped on him.

    *********************************************************

    no "haha"... @@

    Liberals tend to do the same things. So I refer to a group.

    I don't condemn every single liberal for being a rapist, because as a liberal,

    they are all the same criminal.

    See? Would you agree that most liberals do not like Glenn Beck, or Sean Hannity?

    But if I said a particular liberal didn't like Glenn Beck because he was a member of that group,

    that would be invalid.

    So, what we are talking about, condemning an individual of a group, based on trends of certain

    reps of that group.... my point is valid.

  • Therefore,

    you two have committed a faux pas .."haha".

    He who laughs last, laughs best, eh? 😎

  • I never want to see you generalize again. You should stick to your guns and refer to each liberal person on a case by case basis.

    And yeah, I condemn the entire Catholic priesthood for the actions of a minority. They were institutionally protected sexual assaults. That means there were many people involved in the acts and protecting the offenders. The same thing could be said for Penn State when it came to light that Joe Pa and other higher ups were protecting Sandusky. They were just as guilty.

  • Government should not be involved in any marriage, straight or gay. Let it be a religious ceremony if two people want to do that. If two consenting adults, of any sex, want to be legally bound then let them sign on the line. It would kill this whole debate.

    That's too logical.

    😉

    it would seem reasonable if the government set up a civil union program that would carry across all 50 states. If you also want to call yourself husband and wife find yourself a church (or anything) that's up for it blow the money on the band the hall and the reception and have at it.
