Chick-fil-a

[Cliche Guevara]

What is taken away from the idea of marriage if we allow same-sex marriage? You're insistent that if the definition is changed, even slightly, it becomes meaningless, but I fail to see how granting two men the right to marry has any impact on our understanding of the institution of marriage.

Back to more important things:

[rwh11385]

In contrast, 38% of Americans support gay marriage, a number that has a consistent upward trend, and just about everyone is familiar with gay marriage as a concept.

Or look at this poll data: http://www.gallup.com/poll/154634/Ac...ew-Normal.aspx

50% believe gay marriage should be legal. (While 37% still think it shouldn't be legal for a man to love a man or woman to love a woman at all) Of course, there are states were blowjobs are illegal!

66% of people 18-34 support gay marriage, while trends show lower acceptance in the South... and 78% of Republicans against it.

Unless you can show me somewhere, historically where human beings had events and agreements where they were bonded with a lifelong commitment with random objects, or members of the same gender, I think your opinion is meaningless.

OK, super, a Priest did it in the 1600's. If you recall, in the US of A, we have a separation of Church and State. So, maybe we should look to a legit source, and see what the Library of Congress, or the Judaical Branch has to say on the topic.

Yeah, you didn't specify it only having to be in the US. Marriage predates 1776, as does same sex marriage and relationships. Just because people decided that they weren't going to recognize it, like they did with women's ability to vote, or slaves to be considered human... doesn't mean that it is right or okay to do so.

And what's the Judaicial Branch??

That's one thing that gives me hope with this issue, it's only an inevitability that gay marriage will be legal nationwide. This is another one of those issues that we'll look back on and be ashamed to have ever even debated it.

We are talking about the ramifications of a US based business, and the actions of a group of individuals in the US boycotting and stating they will use governmental methods to prevent said business from operations in the US, so I don't know how your above statement plays into this whole thing, we are not talking about a restaurant chain in Turkey.

Sorry, I missed that one with spell check, you know what I was talking about. I didn't change the definition by misspelling it.

We were talking about the meaning of marriage and if that included same sex marriage until you didn't want to talk about that anymore. I couldn't give two fucks about chick-fil-a, I won't eat there anymore but for all I care they build a restaurant on every corner if they have the business. I just take offense in discrimination.

Aaaand he begins to backpedal. lol

I wanna be a lessy too. But only for a day.

I'd spent the time masturbating up a storm.

Again, I don't care, and am not debating the bond/union of homosexual individuals, that is fine, a wonderful thing to experience, and I accept and welcome it with open arms, I'm simply stating that the word marriage should not be used to describe something that is not what the word means.

I'm not backpedaling, my standpoint, and opinion has not changed.

[tttoon]

Because that is not what you decide the word means, you mean.

[RUFFLZ]

Could you post that picture again tho?

What would happen if the other half of America acknowledges that marriage can include same-sex couples?
