Isn't it funny how most people can get along just fine and go hang out and have a beer together and just have a good old time regardless of background or color or whatever.. But, when there is fear of the unknown, they feel the need to find ways to make rifts between each other. To me, you are a cool bro Buck. Peace to you. :)

the only true way that they'll be "allowed" is when narrow minded people understand that it's really none of their business who one wants to marry. your god is not mine and do not impose your faith on me. this is why we live in the USA.Originally posted by bad14u
Not saying I support them, just agreeing that one day they will be allowed just as inter-racial marriages are now!
i will also say that even nowadays, inter-racial relationships/marriages are STILL taboo in certain parts of the country.
also - remember that as the conservative right wing preaches the values of a stable nuclear family and the importance of having a solid family unit, straight people are getting divorced at rates higher than ever, and gay people are only trying to establish and form solid families.
the issue of marriage isn't JUST that they want to be married. there are estate issues and other legal protections that are offered to married people that gay couples cannot have. many people propose civil unions - but let me say again - SEPERATE DOES NOT MEAN EQUAL - no matter WHAT people try to say.

So a gay marriage isn't likely to end in divorce? And what values would they teach in this "family"?Originally posted by sana

love, devotion, and understanding. i am not religious - the "moral values" that you don't believe these families ascribe to - that which you're trying to trick me into saying they don't mesh with - don't apply to what i see as a cohesive family unit.Originally posted by bad14u

the matter of whether these marriages will end in as high of a divorce rate is beside the fact. in fact, many straight people are now choose to live (as you, someone who ascribes to "religious moral values" would see it) in "sin" because they are choosing to have children out of wedlock and living together out of wedlock.
you can't make a comment to me like "in time, gay marriage will be accepted like inter-racial marriages" while staying completely narrow minded towards the issue of gay marriage.

Yes I do live in "sin" and the fact of the matter is that I can say.."in time, gay marriage will be accepted like inter-racial marriages" because sooner or later it will! Whether I stay narrow minded on the subject or not, it will happen one day! Probably not in my life time, but one day!Originally posted by sana

I disagree Bad14u. I say in like 10 years people will look back and wonder WTF they were thinking by discriminating against these people for wanting to express their love for each other. The times, they are a changin', just as they did in the 60's with women and blacks. Homosexuals WILL have the same rights as other couples and there is enough of them to keep this issue in the forefront until change happens. It's not going to just go away because Bush got back in.Last edited by Cory; 11-05-04, 09:20 PM.

umh... i don't have to respect him, dunno where you got that one from... I'm glad you feel he's done well for the country, i disagree of course though. i'm not in politics because i don't have the money for it. seriously, who can get into politics nowadays without serious financial backing? i'd love to see what would happen if we took some blue-collar worker, someone who goes to bed sore and tired from working every single night and put them in office. i don't think they'd last long however, they'd probably punch someone the fuck out before getting through one single legislative session.Originally posted by buccaneer19
I love george bush. and for any of you to say you don't respect him is honestly a bunch of crap. you don't have to like him, but i believe you have to respect him, he is our president and he has done us good. yes our country did get attacked, but he did something about it. if you don't like what he does why don't you go into politics and see how far your smart ass goes. It makes me SICK to sit there and think what happened to our country 9/11 to everyday innocent people just doing their everyday jobs. and in my opinion my biggest heroes besides Jesus Christ and my parents is American Soldiers who go lay their life on the line every day and night so YOU can sleep better at night and can be free, instead of having your ass killed because you speak your mind, just like notopher said. and instead of that, everyone is bitching because we aren't free enough. of course everyone can't be free to do anything they wanted, if that were the case people would go around killing and stealing from everyone and nobody would give a shit. some of you are complaining because it isn't legal to be gay in the country, but thats the way the cookie crumbles. if you wanna leave this country, there is nobody stoping you from going. live the way you want to live, if you want to be gay thats fine, i don't lose any sleep over it, i have a gay in my family. but i'm not saying its right at all, if it were, God would have made it to where men can reproduce as well. some of you may not like this, and i'm sorry about that. this is what i believe. i realize you all have opinions and i respect that, but this is mine.
