Massachusetts High Court Rules In Favor of Gay Marriage

bama thinks it's perverse and aberrant.

 

Yes, we are.

Make love not war-- unless a tyrannical dictator is involved.

 

Awesome. giddyup's endorsing gay marriage. Who's next?

 

Not me?

 

In most news stories I've seen about polygamist families, most of the wives and their kids are on welfare and federal food programs. Since they technically have no income to speak of they easily meet the requirements.

 

Why?

 

Considering you are opposed to any sex for any reason other than procreation (including masturbation, not to mention any form of birth control whatsoever), it's not a great surprise that you would be less than tolerant of gay rights. Their very existence offends you.

I was asking the 99.9% of the board that doesn't think they'll go to hell for getting a boner out of wedlock.

 

Well I can tell you who is NOT next and that's John Kerry. This must burn the liberals who wanted to vote for Dean, but now fear that they are wasting their vote on him. Are there any more liberals that still vote on the issues? On their convictions? I don't see any here.

 

Of course Dean had the exact same position on this issue as Kerry does. I don't agree with either of them on it.

Just more lies from our resident lying (incredible disappearing!) liar. (poof.)

It's okay when he's wrong though, since he's just joking! LOL.

 

Batman -- You know as well as I do that Dean has done so much more than Kerry in terms of working to defend the rights of gays. You have sold out your vote. Period. This isn't even mentioning the fact that Kerry supported the UNJUST AND ILLEGAL war in Iraq. Defend that! You and Kerry have fundamentally different views on foreign policy, yet you will vote for him! In all actuality, Kucinich is probably the one who best matches your political thought. I encourage you to vote with your heart, not with the latest Gallup poll.

 

Actually Jorge, he hasn't. As usual, you're wrong. (Are you ever right?) Civil unions were going to happen in Vermont with or without Dean's support. He chose to support them, but not before they were a done deal. And he's always opposed gay marriage. Like I said, I disagree with him on this too.

I don't defend Kerry on the war. I deplore his vote in support of it. His position on foreign policy is miles closer to mine than Bush's is, but it's not a done deal I'll vote for him. If I do wind up voting for him it won't be because I don't disagree with him on various issues though -- it'll be because I, like half of America, agree with him on a lot more than I agree with Bush on and, as with half of America, I think it's very important to get rid of Bush. Speaking of Bush, is it safe to assume from your characteristically smartass inference that you agree completely with everything he believes, says, does and has ever believed, said or done? Or will you be "selling out your vote?"

 

Dean isn't for gay marriage either. The only candidates who are, are Kucinich, Sharpton and sort of Clark.

I vote based on my issues and convictions but I understand that not every candidate is going to represent my views 100%.

 

Big of you, you like to put words in mouths, I guess thats the director in you.

I can dislike the sin of homosexuality all I want with out hating the sinner. I don't think its any different from me lusting in my heart for someone I'm not married too, which I do, which I don't think I'm going to hell for. Thats the one sexual sin Christ speaks of, and it sums up what a sexual sin is, when what should be love denegrates into lust.

You can't say my views aren't consistent man.

Come on Caped Crusader, I've learned to expect more from you.

 

I can't believe this.

Why do you hate America and why don't you support our troops?

 

if T_J thinks that all liberals won't vote for kerry or whoever the leading candidate is because of the gay rights issue then i guess its safe to believe that all conservatives wont vote for bush because he is not a fiscal conservative.

im for gay marriage if asked, but do I care? some people like to believe that marriage is only between a man and a woman and thats fine if that makes them feel more masculine. does it have any affect on my life? no, do i think its a big issue? for some but definetly not for 90% of the population. just like minorities, different ethnic groups and religions in the world, they have gradually gained their rights regardless of the conservatives of those times, gays will too eventually whether some people like it or not.

 

This maybe a bit of off topic and deserves its own thread, but there is an interesting article about Homosexuality in Animals.
