Come on. What have gays/lesbians.bisexuals/transgenders ever done to you?

There have been the occasional gay gents expressing interest in me, but even if that offended me (which it didn't) I don't see any reason to deny them the opportunity to get legally-binding partnerships whether that partnership is a romantic relationship or a business relationship.

Exactly. My conservative Christian friend says they disgust him....WHO GIVES A SHIT! CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS DISGUST ME I DONT WANNA BAN THEM!(Maybe because I enjoy making fun of them.)

Stupid religious right....zealots...grumble-mumble.

Goddamn it. Goddamn it. Goddamn it. Goddamn it. Goddamn it

There are already a bunch of threads on this subject. You didn't have to create another. Jesus.....

And I voted Yes, just because.

Cool

Gay marriage = fine. Duh.

On a less controversial topic, United O-Zone, is your name meant to indicate that you're a fan of the Numa Numa song? If so, yay! *does numa numa dance*

In response to the thread title . . .

it's . . . . . . . . gay?

I'd say yes-civil unions are fine for gay couples. Marriages are for straights. That's the way it's been. We gave them civil unions because we thought it would keep marriage safe. Now they want marriage...

Because marriage is sacred and only broken by 50% of the American population *twirls a finger*

No, it should not be banned.

We gave them civil unions because we thought it would keep marriage safe.
That's mighty white of you.:rolleyes:

That's mighty white of you.:rolleyes:

Stop being racist against white folk..

I'm not white, so get it right lest I be "offended" and demand some sort of appeasement, such as getting more than you for less, or something similar.

Talk about hypocricy, jeez.
Gay guys are the funnest peopl ever, get to know a few

You're simply repeatable another thread already done before. :eek:

I don't see why some feel the need to interfer in the romantic engagements of others, simply to satisfy their arbitary 'morals'.

Oh dear me... Darn those gays! How DARE they ask for social and legal equality! How DARE they ask for an expansion of rights that do not really affect me, but you know, I hate it because they're filthy heathens! If we do this, then they might actually think that they're equal-class citizens! We cannot allow this!

Can I be entirely honest? From my personal perspective, "marriage" is our word. Yes, I'm being pathetic and petty about it. Yes, it's total irrational. But it's our word. You can have civil unions. You can call it a marriage, you'll get all the benefits, but on paper, it's a civil union. Because "marriage"; it's our word.

Well if marriage and civil unions have no difference, then it wouldn't make a difference if homosexuals would be called marriage as well. Its exactly the same damn thing.

If you're getting upset over semantics, then quite frankly, your priorities are jumbled. There are a lot more important things to worry about than the use of the word 'marriage', especially when the function itself is so abused.

It does make a difference! It's our WORD!

i hate when people use that as something offensive(you didn't, but some do) it's stupid, because nobody takes offensive if someone of the opposite sex they don't like hits on them(unless the hitter is unattractive, and the hittee, female, in which case it's sexual harrassment)

theres nothing wrong with gay marriage. its that f*cker Bush and his conservitive pu$$ies bringing church into state.

It does make a difference! It's our WORD!
You know, most people grow out of the jumping up and down and screaming, "It's mine, it's mine! And you can't have it!" phase.

What is so threatning about them calling it marriage?

In reality, nobody really grows out of that phase.

It's not threatening, it's just not fair! We had it FURST!

No it's not. It's the word of the English Language, a living language as it's described. The only words that belong to people are copyrighted words, and I don't believe marriage is copyrighted to heterosexuals.

Please, please tell me you're joking.

Then you admit to being childish.

I think that someone should copyright it and give the rights only to homosexuals. Just because. Thank you for that glorious idea! :D

What's So Bad About Gay marriage?
Not a damn thing.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Heterosexuals are sexual deviants and must be punished! It says so in the holy book, the Biqueerble: "If you see a man and a woman copulating behind a tree, you will hear a voice say 'they are over here' and you must slay them at once, for they have sinned against nature"

I'll tell you what's bad about gay marriage: nothing.

I'd say yes-civil unions are fine for gay couples. Marriages are for straights. That's the way it's been. We gave them civil unions because we thought it would keep marriage safe. Now they want marriage...

Wow. So if they get married I will leave my wife for a man? Didn't know that.

:rolleyes:

Nothing
Nada
Niente
Nichts

And that's my 4 N's-ic opinion. So there.

That...that's gonna be your...your argument. Really? "That's the way it's been"? You're gonna Walter Cronkite this issue? Okay. Lets see:

Marriage is for people of the same race only, that's the way it's been.
-- Jim Crow laws and similar horseshit, circa 1865-1975.

The vote is for men only, that's the way it's been.
-- Coincidentally, Men, since time immemorial-1920.

Education is for whites only, that's the way it's been.
-- Morons and the unenlightened, circa 16th Century-1954.

Women are brood mares for the state (kingdom, empire, etc.), that's the way it's been.
-- Again, Men, circa 9000BC-AD1973.

Negroes are not people, they're property, that's the way it's been.
-- Greedy hypocritical assholes, circa 16th Century-1863.

And so on, and so on. If this is the argument you choose to lead with, your others must be even weaker. That's just really hard to imagine.
