    Which doesn't limit marriage to opposite sex couples.

    Someday, right? But clearly even where it is legal and practiced, nothing has been destroyed or even inconvenienced, except for a few newsworthy intolerant bigots who use their bibles as an excuse to discriminate.

    Oops, NOT a private citizen. Even in Canada, no religious people are obliged to perform any marriage. But a representative of the State MUST represent the State. This is the law.

    Sorry, but when you work for the state, you set your religious convictions aside during working hours and you obey the damn law!

    Sorry, but all State commissioners must obey the law.

    No, they wanted an employee of the state to obey the laws of the state. Even in Canada, religion doesn't give state officials the right to refuse to follow the law.

    No, those employees of the STATE who refuse to follow the laws of the STATE face the loss of their jobs. Regardless of the reason they refused.

    What is there about religion that causes people to completely ignore all context and start ranting about Christians? Can these people really not see past the tip of their Jesus?

    It limits the human right of marriage to opposite sex couples.

    You can't seem to get it through your head that when you quote someone, you are not supposed to edit what is being said. Doing so alters the meaning.

    This is what I posted:

    In the “fullness of time”?? Seriously? OK, So what do we have here? A story from the Catholic News service about a few obviously troubled people who are alleging a pattern of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of gay and lesbian parents.

    First of all, No one ever said that gay and lesbian are never poor parents or even responsible for abuse. (*)(*)(*)(*) happens. Anecdotal, isolated accounts of this sort prove nothing. But as a former child protective services investigator, I can tell you that there are hundreds of stories of children being mistreated at the hands of straight parents for every one involving gay parents.

    In addition, this account only appears in one other place, https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/q...n-of-gay-parents-testify-against-same-sex-mar

    Which is another source of anti-gay propaganda. And allow me to remind you that the 5th circuit has yet to rule on this matter, and that there \are other amicus briefs which have been submitted, which you failed to mention: http://www.freedomtomarry.org/resources/entry/amici-briefs-to-the-5th-circuit-in-deleon-v.-perry

    Meanwhile, here are some real life stories of the people involved in the 5th circuit cases:

    In addition, tens of thousands of children are in the care of gay and lesbian people. When it comes to same sex marriage, the quality of that parenting is not even the right question to be asking, unless you are willing to advocate the removal of those children from their care and prohibit their acquiring more. Prohibiting marriage in itself is not going to change the fact that gay people have children and will only serve to place those children at a legal and economic disadvantage. The whole premise of this post is nonsense.

    In addition, adoption is legal is 49 states. Generally, acceptance of gay and lesbian adoption has been way out in front of same sex marriage. In some states, it has been occurring for decades.

    Given these numbers, please answer the following questions:

    1. If children who are in the care of gay people are at risk of abuse or having developmental/ adjustment issues why have the states been allowing this for so long?
    2. If mistreatment of children by gays was prevalent, why are we not hearing horror stories and seeing headlines about this on a regular basis ?
    3. Why have we not been seeing large numbers of adults who had been children of gays coming forward to speak out against gay parenting?
    Claims that gay parenting is harmful to children are bogus and stupid.

    And then there is this:



    Also: posting this sort of crap and using children as pawns in your failed and pathetic attempt to stave off marriage equality is shameful! You're right! Children shouldn't be the guinea pigs




    Just more crap from the same biased source. What the hell is a state marriage commissioner? We don’t have them here. Whatever might be going on in Canada has nothing to do with us. To imply that it does is just ridiculous and intellectually dishonest

    Words have meanings. "Men AND women" as opposed to men OR women. Men and women, becoming husbands and wives. Fathers and mothers to their children. The "natural and fundamental group unit of society".

    Yes men and women. Meaning adult humans. No limitation of any kind to opposite sex couples. Sorry.

    procreation isn't relevant.

    Interesting how he insists on ignoring the much more recent and relevant UN Human Rights Council Vote that I posted to him just yesterday

    the "natural and fundamental group unit of society" consists of mothers and fathers providing and caring for their children together in the home, because of the requirements of procreation. Two gay guys with an adopted orphan is a recent fad and certainly not a natural or fundamental unit of society. And marriage limited to "Men and women" is precisely what we are debating here.

    A debate that you and the states have lost badly. How come your not posting your favorite passages from Skinner v Oklahoma, and Zablocki v. Redhail. today. Oh, right! I exposed the fallacy of using those case in relation to marriage yesterday and you had nothing further.

    Ive addressed it repeatedly. Marriage limited to husbands and wives is not "discrimination" against "LGBT"ers. And if they had ANY intent to change marriage laws, they would have spoke of it. ESPECIALLY with an article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights on the subject.

    None of that prohibits SSM. Nice try on words, boy are you going to be disappointed at the end of June when SSM is legalized. Are you going to be leaving the country after that?

    Procreation is irrelevant. The ability isn't required for marriage.

    Limited to men and women refers to adult humans. Not opposite sex couples only. Which is why it doesn't say opposite sex marriage.

    You knocked down the strawman that "procreation is essential to, or an inextricable part of marriage". What did you want me to add?

    Dont be silly. OF COURSE procreation is why the nuclear family consist of a father and mother with their children.

    No one claimed it was. And we are speaking of the "natural and fundamental group unit of society"

    Irrelevant.


    Without a requirement, it's moronic to bring it up and point out same sex couples can't marry because they can't procreate. It's incorrect, because procreation is irrelevant.

    You really need to learn what a strawman is. Because you keep misusing it.

    "most studies show" means nothing. It's just too vague.

    Excuses to justify perversion as normal don't impress me at all. Your blatant attack on normalcy and people of faith is noted. And dismissed as ..... hate speech.

    Troll someone else, you bore me. Expecting me to justify my stance is ridiculous. Your view touts the hardline commie gay mafia agenda. It's a perverse lifestyle and not healthy for kids. That's just logical. Wait and see....Rosie's kids will be hollering abuse in a few years.
