No sympathy here for the sodomites!!! Boycatt McDonald’s too, while we’re at it!!!

Neither. I have seen that damage that homosexuality does and you, apparently, have not bothered to try to find out what that damage is. I suggest you try “google” on homosexuality and look at the data. There is plenty of information out there but the homosexual community doesn’t want you to know about it because it isn’t very nice.

If a gay wedding is just absolutely fiercly FANTABULOUS and to die for, what does a gay divorce look like….?

As you sow, so shall you reap.

Sheesh.

I’m sorry, I did’nt mean to offend you but I agree we’re all fond of kitties, monkies and those hu ha thingies.

Well, as you reap, so shall you sow.

Enjoy a taste of the real world.

You know, the whole “3 strikes and you’re out” idea would be practical for the folks who are serial divorcees. It’s an interesting idea, but wouldn’t be easy to enforce (if such a law or policy were possible- shhhh, don’t give the government any ideas). Unfortunately, it would be lost on certain members of my family (two aunts to be specific) who have been divorced at least 2 times already.

I think people (of either sexual orientation) are in love with love. Some people can’t even tell the difference between sex and love (my aunts). Furthermore, some people have a romanticized view of what love is and how marriage should be.

Here’s an interesting idea… how ’bout mandatory pre-marital counseling like what the Catholic Church does? I think this would be ideal for the couple who find themselves fighting over everything from finances to who controls the remote. Perhaps, if you get the rules down, nobody would be rushing for a quickie divorce.

Then again, you can’t really legislate against stupid behavior or poor marriage choices.

Marriage as an American tradition doesn’t make it untouchable, either. Just because it’s a tradition doesn’t make it okay.

I’m pretty sure our concept of marriage pre-dates 7/4/1776 by a considerable margin. And just because it’s a tradition doesn’t make it not okay, either. In any event the proper way for this to be decided is through the legislative process, not by the whims of a handful of unelected judges who decide to impose their worldview on 300 million people.

James Felix you are correct. What Rusty and his ilk do not understand is that marriage between a man and a woman is universal. Liberals are extremely myopic when it comes to culture. They are only aware of their own, at the present. They have no regard for tradition because they are chauvinists.

GK Chesterton:

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

“Arrogant oligarchy” indeed.

And those arguments were, in fact, used during the push to eliminate the ban on interracial marriage. Even my hyper-religious mother admits remembering it, despite the fact that it’s a point of contention with the gay community.

I think it’s also worth pointing out that there is an equal percentage of “straight” people who are just as sick and twisted as the dark element of the gay community I see so many people here making jabs at. My younger sister is the perfect example. Do those here who are against homosexuality believe that way because of religion, or are you just set in your ways?

I’m not trying to start a fight, just asking an honest question.

I feel sorry for the women and children trapped in abusive marriages and now have to wait for the courts’ protection and provisions while Harry divorces Ed.

You got that right. The courts are already swamped with family law cases, and now this garbage is going to clog up the system even more. Pure idiocy.

All I want to know is who get’s the vibrator? Who gets the gerbils?

Who gets the bed linens?

So far, every referendum on the topic has resulted in gay marriage NOT being acceptable to the majority.

Apparently you think unelected judges get to tell the people what they must do.

But, hey, that just makes you another leftnoid who treats the Constitution as toilet paper on one day, an unchanging sacred document the next, and a living, breathing Rorschach test the day after that.
