Re: Judge strikes down Wisconsin gay marriage ban[W:287]
My arguement changed when I was informed that we are debating LEGAL aspects of marraige not RELIGIOUS aspects of marraige. And would it really take the air out of my tires if gay marraige becomes federally recognized? NO in fact I will be happy for the gay community, I am simply being the devil's advocate in this debate and citing possible consequences to a change in law that will have a large effect on culture in general.
So this isnt a serious proposal, right?
For one thing, you dont seem to realize that gay people reproduce 'naturally' all the time...men sire babies, women have babies. Unless you suggest NOW, that mixed straight families also have to settle for civil unions? You know, where they have adopted kids (none of their DNA!!!!), step-kids (only one's DNA), used artificial means to get pregnant, etc?
And I thought that marriage (it's legal...that's the entire discussion) was a strictly religious convention and to be used only for the religious. You wrote that.
If that's the case, let anyone who wants to marry do so...in their church, in the Eyes of God..and not worry about the legal aspect. Dont need any license. Why do they care? It's about love and babies and God....not tax benefits. Right?
