    Actually that is why the law was unsustainable. Heterosexuality has nothing to do with race, the laws were changed.

    It is the conservatives trying to expand the governments reach to discriminate against consenting adults. There is nothing conservative about that. This is why conservatives are the same as liberals.

    Why is that the polls promoted by homosexuals and their supporters show homosexual marriage as a rousing crowd favorite but it only places (second place) when voted on by the American public? Is there a misrepresentation or outright agenda being promoted or is somebody simply mistaken or speaking lies? Are these polls accurate?

    Question asked absent an emotional agenda, just would like to know the truth. Each time the vote is taken by the American public it supports the single man/single woman definition.

    You just defeated your won argument.

    It is not and declaring it as such is not going to win people over to your side. Society has determined it is in our best interest and benefits society to support and encourage and sanction our heterosexuality that is why we have legal marriage in the first place. There are no such benefits to promote and encourage and sanction homosexuality there for it is not legal. Other than that you have the same right as anyone else of your sex, you can marry someone of the other sex.

    It is not a civil rights issue.

    The only attempt to expand anything is on the side promoting homosexuality to extend marriage to those who engage in such.

    Gender and Race is only variables in marriage. That is why bans on interracial and gay marriages are unconstitutional.

    Haha, no I didn't.

    No, we don't need to win over bigots to our side. We just need to wait for you old bigots to drop dead. No matter what little battles here and there you might think you've won, you have already lost the war.

    Depriving marital rights to same-sex couples is both sexist and homophobic, and cannot be allowed to continue.


    Uh yeah, it is. Certainly a member of the majority is in no position to be dictating what is or is not a civil rights issue for minorities in the first place.

    Homo means "man" in Latin, but "same" in Greek...funny, even if we used the Latin root, "homosexual" would still work for gay men at least.

    They are not variables. male+female= heterosexual marriage. There is no variable and race doesn't enter the equation.

    Um the government does indeed hand out rights. In the case of marriage, rights include the right to say on medical issues when your partner is incapacitated and is unable to speak for themselves. You are first of kin.



    The best interest of society is to give equal rights to everyone equally.



    It is.

    Wrong.

    race/rās/
    Noun:

    A competition between runners, horses, vehicles, boats, etc., to see which is the fastest in covering a set course.
    Each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.

    male+female= heterosexual marriage. = Creatures of the mind.

    A marriage is simply a legal contract between two consenting adults. Creatures of the mind do not count.

    It would be refreshing if all the homosexual-hating bigots would just say they hate gays and cannot stand homosexual having the same rights as them. At-least that is honest.

    But when the young grow old will they vote religiously? :)

    People are people. But in the America of recent decades a group of protected classes have been created with additional protections that separate the protected from the unprotected American citizen.

    Homosexuals and their supporters didn't want the government intruding in their bedroom, but now want the government to ramrod their desire to change the custom/component of marriage for those who are quite comfortable with the present institution/definition of one man, one woman marriage.

    Homosexuality has never ever been proven to be genetic in any way shape or form. Take any "study" on homosexuality pretending there is a link from the Fruit Fly, Brain study, Twins study etc. None of them have ever found a genetic link for all homosexuals.

    I know its hard for you but you need to accept reality.

    Where is your evidence? What Amendment is the gay marriage crowd persuing? Oh thats right, NONE. They use the courts to pretend a new right exists in existing law because they can't get it passed by an amendment. Pathetic but predictable.

    You can't legislate behavior. You can hold your breath and stamp your feet all you want, but behavior doesn't guarantee rights.

    We can legislate equality under the law, which includes marriage equality for same-sex couples.
