gay marriage

[Jordan]

Gay people have every right to be just as miserable as straight married couples. :)

None of this will ever happen though since our country will never get over it's hangup with Jesus.

It is funny how our country was founded on this but now everyone wants it gone. I just find it funny.

Ask Jscotty - he should be an expert.

As for me - there's no reason for them not to be married. It's only a tax advantage.

actually, not in the most common situation. the only time there is a "tax advantage" is if only one of the individuals earns essentially all of the income (80-90%), then for that individual, being married yields a tax break. ...however, most same-sex couples are dual-income, often of a similar tax bracket. in the case where both parties would qualify for the 20% or higher tax brackets being married actually costs both individuals MORE than if they were in fact single. the major advantage of legalizing same-sex marriages is the benefits of employer provided healthcare packages, annuities & Life insurance policies, as well as survivorship property rights (which is irrelevant if people are competent enough to have living will drafted and annually revised) as well as the remaining/widower 3 year tax break after one of the individuals in the marriage dies.

personally i am fully opposed to gay marraige as i feel the function of marriage is to benefit the naturally born decendents of solely the two individuals married. personally i do not believe a child should be intentionally raised without the presence of both a father figure as well as a mother figure. shit happens, and that is a valid excuse. but not some test-tube kid being raised in an environment overflowing with only estrogen nor should some adopted child (children are too impressionable and have no control over much of these matters) be taken and influenced by homosexual parenting. there are WAY too many fucked up people in the world training children to emulate their twisted perspectives already, permitting homosexual marriage will only increase that percentage.

now, let the flood gates open with the torrent of opposition to my opinions. that is how it is. my brother-in-law's sister is a married homosexual, and i find it fucking disgusting, and i tell that straight up to anyone who asks me...... now if she was hot, as well as her wife.... and they had their occasional bi-sexual urges, more power to them

You are such a tool. If you are so against Christianity, then why all the dumbass side shots to try to get them riled up? get a life douchebag

get over it

To this argument I say ALL marriages should be civil unions. The govt shouldn't make a marriage, they should just be in charge of the contract. If you want to be married in the traditional sense under your god with flowers and false promises, go for it. But the legal contract should just be a civil union whether it's a man-woman situation or a man-man / woman-woman deal. Take the govt out of the belief situation.

SOOO if you have a hangup about fudgepackers getting "married," then don't go to the church that allows that marriage. Marriage means different things to different people. Don't assume marriage SHOULD be sacred, just because it is to you. Your belief system is your own, why do you care what others' are?

Marriage is just a word, what makes a marriage is the commitment between two adults.

None of this will ever happen though since our country will never get over it's hangup with Jesus. This is why I don't visit off topic. I get all worked up.

we are from different generations. ive seen the world slide into the toilet year after year with morals almost non existent in todays youth. and every generation gets worse. im far far far from perfect but i know right from wrong and my right from wrong is different than your generation. the world is a shithole and it all began with baby steps. this is just another of those steps. soon the liberals will out number the people who are correct and theres no turning back then

homosexual parenting

I know of so many HETERO parents that fuck their kids up for life. Plus, there's enough kids in this country that don't even have the luxury of one person that really loves them.

If a gay couple can offer the nurturing, education, home, and love to a child that would have none, I thank them for their efforts.

Are the moms hot?

absolutely not

There are WAY too many fucked up people in the world training children to emulate their twisted perspectives already, permitting homosexual marriage will only increase that percentage.

So two straight people can get married, have kids and teach them that it's alright to beat up their significant others and/or be beaten up by them? Based on the gay/straight people I know, the homosexuals are WAY better suited to raise children who will be functional members of society.

and i dont have anything against christian people, i just choose not to follow the religion because i disagree with some of their beliefs. and thats what my arguments have been about, not that i hate christians.

Just think of gay marriage as "Population Control"

I agree, let's have a suicide pact. You first.

where exactly does it say in the constitution that we were founded as a xian nation?

cuz i kinda remember this thing about "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"... or something to that effect.

i have a friend that was raised by 2 moms and she turned out fine

If you are reffering to Ian then no he has a dad aswell who he was raised with also, its not like he was ONLY raised by his mothers.

And as for the original topic, i dont care that much at all, but if i had to decide i would say "no". it's weird for me
