Sounds like you're getting jealous.But then wouldn't that make your boyfriend unhappy?

And if we had depended on backwards rednecks to decide slavery, whether blacks and whites should marry, integration and women's rights. I'd be working a cotton field and you'd be getting lynched. Tyranny of the masses isn't always that great of an idea.
I'd have to think that by the end of Obama's first (of two) term, more than half of our states will have legalized gay marriage. By the end of his 2nd term.. who knows?
But it is democracy.
What does Obama have to do with this? He's against gay marriage.

Gay marriage, I don't care either way, I just think it's a whole lot of emotion over a non-issue.
But hey, it shows how much you are "tolerant" of others. From the comments on here about those that dislike Gay Marriage, we see the real face of Tolerance here.

Actually I think the Supreme Court will resolve this issue before Congress or the White House does. I wouldn't be surprised to see a SCOTUS decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide sometime in the next decade...possibly a 8-1 or 7-2 decision.
I agree, but I doubt seriously it will be 8-1 or even 7-2. It likely will be a 5-4 or 6-3 decision.
Scalia, Thomas and Alito will never vote to find prohibitions on gay marriage violate equal protection. Roberts is a possibility but still likely to side with the 3 ultra-right activists.
You are talking about tyranny of the minority. Last time I checked, Lincoln was elected by somewhat of a majority. So, really, according to results, the majority was right in that decision.And if we had depended on backwards rednecks to decide slavery, whether blacks and whites should marry, integration and women's rights.

I don't know, me personally I would like to see the SCOTUS grow a pair and actually decide for gay marriage, but I don't see it happening. Not at least for a few more decades. They seem to be avoiding this decision like the plague.
So, then you will back gay marriage, right? I mean, if you don't care and to show how much you care about your fellow man... and woman.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't marriage a state institution already?
it was the Republicans that used gay marriage as a wedge. For example the FMA.

The real issue here isn't "Marriage" it's legal rights bestowed upon the person you with to consider your "spouse". The whole crux of the matter is the word and definition of MARRIAGE.
The gay lobby activist KNOW they could get Civil Unions passed but no... can't have that! Have to shove their definition of "MARRIAGE" in everyone's faces and then cry victim because most folks just reject that premise out right.
One side demands the other side unconditionally surrender it's values in favor of a minority WITHIN a minority.
The wedge is the hammering "Gay is normal" and playing victim when folks go "yeah, look we really don't care if you're gay, but quit trying to say it's normal and teach my 5 year old that two daddy's is fine and kissing boys is okay". My own son, he's ten now, he asked my why two men were holding hands at the mall last time he was here. I explained that some guys like guys instead of girls. It's not normal, but it's their life they are free to be gay if they wish. It's really none of our business either which way. And I left it at that.
Personally I say the Gay Movement and those that support it's current agenda are some of the most bigoted, intolerant, anti-freedom folks around, and to hell with all of you.
I thought you didn't care? A tad disingenuous, I would say. :roll:

Really so how about showing some proof that I support our current Fascism? Or how about the fact I have six military veterans (with four being alive) in my family all of a sudden makes me a communist according to certain members on this forum. I have all ready put up the challenge on why there is no argument against since NO ONE can prove that if effects me economically, personally or constitutionally but NOOOOOO is much easier to play the red card or the ax card. Why dont you step up to the plate.
Yes, that's why the uber liberal state of Oregon voted down Gay Marriage right? Because it's those damn dirty Republicans.
WTF are you on about?
Gay Marriage, it's a divisive issue. Civil Unions gives the legal protections they seek without pissing off even liberal states.
Issue solved.
Instead, we get this long drawn out fight over changing the definition of a word because one side, deems it has a right to force the rest of society to change. THAT'S my problem with issue.
