You may be wrong about that. Ever hear of female sperm or male eggs? It’s a really interesting new experiment- maybe you should do some research. Homosexuality is also displayed in animals. In some types of geese, two males will pair up, often mating with a female and then taking her eggs to raise as their own. That doesn’t sound like “NOTHING” to me.

And by the way, if two gays got married, how would it affect YOU specifically any more than a “normal” marriage would? If gay marriage isn’t hurting anyone, what can you have against it other than your personal beliefs? Being gay isn’t a belief. It isn’t even voluntary.

If you hate it so much, make your own rule that you will never marry someone of your own gender. You shouldn’t say that no one else is allowed to.

“Just because you don’t agree with the law, doesn’t mean it ought to be changed.”

When the law is biased, it does need to change.

“Reverse prejudice is still prejudice!”

So I’m prejudiced against… whom, exactly?

“Gay rights does NOT equate to no religious rights.”

Why not? Are they lesser beings because they don’t kneel by their beds and talk to their imaginary friends every night?

“If what gays want is acceptance for their belief…”

And calling homosexuality a “belief” is just stupid. It’s an orientation. A belief is “a religious tenet or tenets; religious creed or faith” or “confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.” If homosexuality is a belief, so is heterosexuality.

The same thing is with stem cell research. Believe it or not, and the media and government don’t tell us this, is that most “stem cell” research doesn’t even use stem cells any more, let alone stem cells from fetuses.

If people knew this would we be arguing about it? No. Its a sad thing isn’t it?

“What you shove up your @^#*! is your own business.”

I don’t CARE. If you are doing this it does not affect me one iota. I look at it as population control, AND abortion control–how many gays do you know who are having abortions?

Valiant Defender – how weak is your religion that you feel it is threatened by something that doesn’t involve either it or you?

I’m very late to seeing this comment, but a similar one was posted elsewhere and was completely ripped apart by logic.

Read this link, which was posted there as well: http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/Articles/000,002.htm

Pedophiles are attracted to children. It doesn’t matter if they’re male or female. Most “true” pedophiles showed no real attraction to adults of either sex. Further, a vast majority of the men who committed these acts against little boys (who would be the ‘homosexuals’ in your mind) in fact had heterosexual relationships–they had wives and girlfriends.

Your last point has just as little merit. Where’s your research? Prove it.

1. A binding legal agreement concerning custody and responsibility for children and ownership of property, etc.

2. A commitment made according to the spiritual and social of the parties involved, usually according to their religious beliefs.

The government should ALWAYS be involved in marriage as defined by the first definition (which is really a description of a civil union, not a marriage), and NEVER be involved in marriage by the second definition.

The ONLY thing governments should do is grant civil unions, not marriages, and said civil unions should be granted without bias concerning the gender of either party. Marriages should be a matter for the churches, temples, whatever, and should have nothing to do with the legal aspect.

The problem comes when the government attempts to regulate marriage as defined by the first definition, and it is taken as regulating marriage as defined by the second definition.

Governments should ONLY grant civil unions, not marriages, regardless of whether the couple is gay or straight. Marriages (the spiritual aspect) are out of the jurisdiction of the law.

DON’T TAKE THEM SOUP! IT’S TEH SWINE FLU!!1! RUN AWAAAAY!

“Time-challenged” . . . I like that. Perfect, too (you have no idea–but I’m about to tell you why). I’m late for EVERYTHING. [I'm giving notarized instructions that, upon my death, should be followed exactly: I want my coffin to arrive at the service AFTER everyone has been waiting for a bit, say, 10 minutes. I WILL be late to my own funeral!]
