Video explains it at all, it's all so clear now.

I am an ardent and longtime supporter of gay marriage,

Aslong as both chicks are hot!

 I shall be no part of things that have to do with gays, religeon or things of that nature. They juststart riots.

EXAMPLE:

One gay guy see's this post and gets angry. What are you going to do?

Religeon starts out to be a riot because all the sudden somebody decides to compare the religeons. 

It's just not right to post these, so continue while I watch stuff happen.

Video was hilarious.

That is all.

I know you are young.  And it's GREAT to see you getting involved in the forums...VERY GREAT in fact...

However....

It's communicating and talking about all our differences that PREVENTS riots.  Talking about, discussing...These are GOOD things..

In society today, there is something happening called "Political Correctness" that is stopping everyone from being comfortable sharing their ideas, feelings, and thoughts about life...this is the true enemy of free thinking.

again with you thinking that topics start fights, no they don't its how rude or unrude the people discussing them are. And this is an Off-Topic forum so people post what they want to(note im in a good mood typing this so dont be offended) if someone wanted to talk about child abuse you'd probaly be all for it. but if they post on something less serious you say you have no part in it. (Note, im actually saying the words in my mind monotoned) and no one said you had to reply anyways, i think you just post the "ill have no part in this...) just for the hell of it.(still monotoned) but whatever i dont really care much if people are gay or not, it doesnt really bother me.

I agree, religion should not interfere with the state.  But I also think the state should not interfere with religion unless it does harm to another person.  This for me is the real debate.  How would a gay marriage legislation be written?  Marriage in itself is a name used by religions to signify a long term civil union.  So having legislation that makes Gay Marriage legal could be construed to mean the church has to honor and perform Gay Marriage Ceremonies.

As many Democrats propose, I think this issue should be handled in the eyes of the state as the most basic fundamental of what happens in marriage and call it a civil union.  That being a contract between 2 individuals to share there assets, have the right to adopt depending on the rules of the adoption agency, benefits of having a spouse in the eyes of the state, and the right to make decisions incase there partner is incapable of making them.  I think marriage should be seen the same way by the state and have the symbolic meaning of marriage carried by the individuals and/or church.

Yeah because of the religion... church believed that god created only two gender male and female...

For me god has a reason why there are gays and lesbians, we should accept the reality but marriage between gays they won't allow it...

OK I personally think gay and lesbian marriage will destroy the very fabric of society and quite possibly the universe itself.  Seriously.  Think about this.  If a guy wishes to marry a guy and a woman wishes to marry a woman, what is next?   Some guy wanting to marry his blow-up doll.   Or what if some guy loves his dog...I mean really loves his dog.    If he wished to marry the dog...why not, you let two guys get married.   See where I am going with this.  Hmmm...it becomes a slippery slope and where will it end.  Cats marrying dogs, lions marrying water buffalo, frogs marrying flies!  OMG this could destroy the very fabric of the known universe!

I was joking...OK...so don't get all freaked out ok.

At least somebody agree's with me and doesn't give me a lecture.

To be fair, if you can teach a dog to sign a marriage contract, you deserve to marry it.

Sorry, but gays shouldnt be allowed to marry.  Marriage is between a Man and woman.

really? why?

Marriage is a legal contract that binds two people economically.

By not allowing everyone in society to participate in that arrangement, it can be argued that their fundamental rights are being thwarted.

Of course, the US Constitution isn't drafted well, so I don't expect it to provide appropriate remedies for such events.

Hey, you have your views, I have mine.  Progressive liberals are always trying to change things.

In the English common law tradition, from which our legal doctrines and concepts have developed, a marriage is a contract based upon a voluntary private agreement by a man and a woman to become husband and wife. Marriage is viewed as the basis of the family unit and vital to the preservation of morals and civilization.

Traditionally, the husband had a duty to provide a safe house, pay for necessities such as food and clothing, and live in the house.

The wife's obligations were maintaining a home, living in the home, having sexual relations with her husband, and rearing the couple's children.

You have yet to answer my question as to why gay marriage should not be allowed. Not very surprising  you are a republican after all and asking a typical republican to give a good reason as to why gay marriage should not be allowed is pretty silly as they don't actually have a leg to stand on.

But oh no! The great country of teh americuh can't have gays married! Can you imagine what would happen if we let those filthy gays marry! There will be...like...there is going to be....lik.e..you know....well it's just because, okay!?

But nevermind that, I hope you're enjoying your life as a married man Outfctrl.
