Gay Marriage Vote Passes in DC City Council

It is your argument that wants to redefine marriage. I am happy the way it is.

Heh, we've had gay marriage before it was a twinkle in anyone's eye down there in da Southland....

At the not inconsiderable price of disenfranchising the entire Massachusetts electorate - which never did get a chance to join 31 other states in voting on that "homosexual marriage as a civil right" diktat of the Mass. Supreme Court. Fortunately the equal faith and credit clause ensures that this particular nonsense remains a local oddity until such time as it is overturned by the people of the state.

marriage as a civil right, interesting, I was married in a court house by a judge with a license issued by the county clerk. but then a driver's license isn't a civil right either and yet I see no discernible reason to deny one due to sexual orientation.

Bigotry by your side doesnt exist ?

Becuase you are a pathetic underdog and people are picking on you ?

Therefore anyone who doesnt do what you want is a bigot ? Justify your statements with examples, because the last time I checked disagreeing with fools does not make me a bigot.

I never made any statement to this effect at all.

Those who wish and work to keep people UnEqual and to deny rights to their fellow citizens are bigots. You should just suck it up and admit it. Your prejudice against homosexuals is bigotry. The mental disorder which exists in this case isn't their sexuality, but your fear of them.

Perhaps if you understand little than everything has to be spelt out for you. In an argument there are TWO sides. Count them with me...one, two...if you are not on one side, then you are on the other side. You see now ?

I have friends who are homosexual. I only wish to deny them marriage.

I believe they must have full equality under the law with heterosexual defactos. That can be achieved by tiding up what has become a very messy area legally.

Your staunch support of something because it is homosexual shows you to be simply running thoughtlessly with the pack.

Read the entire thread and you will know my thoughts on the matter. I will not lend my support to stupidity just to avoid a fool calling me a bigot.

Studies have shown ....

I think that is rather nasty of you, to equate slavery with voluntarily sticking your dick in another man's arse.

Cute.

Spoken like a 6 year old.

If marriage exists for children then tell me why (1) infertile couples can legally marry, and (2) why children of the unwed aren't removed and placed in the homes of married couples.

marriage is not about children.

The mechanism is never referred to as inadequate.

the laws that are obstructing homosexuals need to be fixed.

Maybe the game is fine, and we just need a new ref.

And what of the legal protection of the children of homosexuals or children being raised by homosexuals?

offered by granting homosexuals the same rights as heterosexuals

You have yet to bring anything to the table.

You first try and fillet me in another thread for being PC because I apparently choose answers that are socially acceptable, but somehow when I support gays, perhaps the most socially acceptable group to bash, I'm being politically correct?
In a political climate where even the Democrats pussy foot around being firm on helping the LGBT community, I'm being politically correct by supporting homosexuals in no vague terms?

It's a terrible shame that you love you wife less and less with every gay couple that gets married. It's a terrible shame you lose more and more rights as a married couple as homosexuals become married. I feel real awful for you. Poor little guy. You're the real victim here.

Do you know how much bullshit is hidden in that one phrase ?

I would try and avoid misspelling 'spelled' when castigating others, it really ruins the effect.

You wish to deny them equality, because you fear them.

I bet you don't have the balls to tell them to your face what a bigot you are.

Then you agree they should be granted the right of Marriage, just like all other adults in our society; homosexuals deserve the right to marry the person they love despite your opinion on the validity of their relationship.

I suspect that for you, it is not.

Homophobic ? Does that still work where you are ? Why dont you admit you are heterophobic ?

All other adults in our society do not have the right to marry the person they love.

I am not validating their relationship. That is up to them.

You dont even know what you are arguing against. Anyone who has been foloowing this thread must be wondering what you are going on about. Before you have another hissy fit, READ WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE !! Is that emphasis enough ?

Your suspicions, along with your guessing and your betting, are incorrect. But it was an excellent example of bigotry on your part.

You have given a fine example of an uninformed tirade against anyone who disagrees with you. Your support of anything so you can hide in the pack is shameful to intelligence.

The days in which people could be openly supportive of homosexuals without thinking, and not be castigated for it, because others were afraid of being called names, like bigot, are long gone. Wake up to the modern world you live in and get with the times...there is a grey area inbetween fagot and bigot....you are just scared of it.

Or perhaps I have seen studies that were a fine example of expensive toilet paper. If the uninformed wish to say, Ohhhh...a study...that sounds impressive....it must be right...than fine, you go with that. For my part, I would examine the studies in some detail. When you have some sort of professional qualification you will be taught exactly what I mean.

Yaknow what? You are probably the poorest supporter of your position I have ever met on A2K. Your arguments are illogical and childish.

As a heterosexual, how could I be heterophobic?

This is nonsensical, the type of retort a teenager would come back with.

Any adults in our society who love each other should be free to marry each other; and, except for gays, they generally are.

I did read the entire thread; nothing in there discounts what I've said at all.

You don't know what the word 'bigot' means.

Supporting gay marriage is hardly 'hiding in the pack.'AND Gay marriage and gays in general are mainstream now

engage mouthbreathing ******* bigots like yourself, because I believe in Equality.

I'll let others determine how intelligent you are.

If successful I think it will produce more problems than it solves and will miss an opportunity to correct related wrongs. But I can live with it.
