Are you sure? He seems to have you (and others) vigorously pursuing a semantic incidental. That's what I call a successful troll.

You are correct. And it's the exact same shitty trolling that joshh did the last time he shitted up a similar thread on this subject. What great company these types keep.

You know what they left out of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act? There is no requirement that the man and woman demonstrate a willingness and ability to procreate. That's just bad lawmaking.

[rwh11385]

did you not read the quote? it has been called matrimony for over 2 thousand years. the idea is to form a family unit to raise children, which by the way is a duty of every species member. a failure to reproduce oneself is a failure of the natural order.

I'm pretty sure that two dads or two moms can raise children just fine. It's not like anyone is policing straight married people to make sure they are producing offspring. And old barren people still get married - it's not like functioning genitals is a requirement for marriage.

If you are blocking same-sex marriage based on the lack of offspring, you might as well ban women who cannot bare children as well - and those who don't have kids within a certain number of years must be divorced and be fruitful elsewhere.

That'd only be fair. Else, you're just trying to make a bullshit argument based on some religious ridiculous that is outdated for the modern world of 7 billion people. There are plenty of orphans in the world to be adopted and raised.

you may hate it, but you can't disprove it. why should i be compassionate towards an un-natural minority trying to foist their agenda on the rest of us? and, since they fail at their duty to reproduce they are second class humans.

sorry if your feelings are hurt. not. there is no merit to your point.

Um, because they are human and their orientation is the natural outcome of being born that way? It's like what color hair and eyes you were born with and what hand you write with. Your bigoted argument is disgusting and I can't believe anyone would ever be as horrible person as you these days. The same logic of believing someone is a second class human is how society treated minorities and women for so many years... do you still?

I find it challenging to express how ultimately disappointed in society I am for allowing hateful opinions like yours to still exist. You're the dysfunctional member of the population, not homosexuals.

Marriage is not about children, there are countless straight couples who marry with either no intention or no ability to have children. That argument is nonsensical.

I can't stand this horrifically uncompassionate argument. They aren't desperate for validation, you self-righteous prick, they're tired of being treated like second rate citizens.

no. you would be ignored.

you are thinking too much of yourself.

Yeah, all the lesbians would probably be too busy with their loved ones then really be too concerned with what Brandon does with his life. Why can't he be more like that?

Must be full of hate, and potatoes.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I do believe he actually thinks he's been quite clever with this analogy. I'll admit, it's been somewhat entertaining, though not in a way Fabrin either intended or desired.

Who is this Fabrin you speak of?

[Cliche Guevara]

no. you would be ignored.

If I go public with this, there will be hordes of combat boot wearing, camo shorts and black tank-topped women chasing me through the streets with pitchforks accompanied by a Lilith Fair soundtrack.

[rwh11385]

No, I'd ask them which state their ceremony was in.

Oh man, that just sounds awful... I'm so sorry that you life had to be so negatively impacted so that others could share in the freedoms the rest of us have been able to enjoy...

That aside, you would immediately know what is entailed by that statement. They're in love and have committed to each other for life. There is zero confusion surrounding their use of the word "marriage."

Yup.

[Kershaw]

From my standpoint, THIS HAS FUCKING NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION!!!

rofl.

so you just have that much of a hard on for word definitions?

pathetic.

if you want to call yourself a lesbian, go right ahead. NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU.

And the stranger would know I like to eat waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

Possibly. I would just assume you were trying to be funny and not think anything more of it. Let it go, man. Your analogy doesn't work.

I'm still under the impression that if the owner of Progressive insurance made a stand against guns publicly, I'd still be against government interference in his business.

Yeah, I don't think anyone here actually supports local governments preventing the expansion of Chick-fil-a because they're owner is an intolerant religious fundy.
