New York to Become the Sixth State to Legalize Gay Marriage

Agaim, you did not feel that way when a liberal court made it legal to kill babies in the womb...............

First of all, I was not alive when that happened. I was born in 1980.

Second of all, I am pro-life. Maybe you shouldn't assume what I believe on all issues just from how I feel about this one issue.
 
He is a Roman Catholic and will never vote for gay marriage..............

I know several Roman Catholics who do not have a problem with legal same sex marriage, as long as they do not have to allow them to get married in their church. Many Roman Catholics can see the difference between legal marriage and the religious institution of marriage.

My mother's family is Roman Catholic. All of my mother's immediate family is quite fine with gays getting married. In fact, they would much rather have a gay person legally marry someone they are in love with rather than someone of the opposite sex, that they are likely to cause a broken home from the lying to either theirself, their spouse, or both about their attractions.

Why do you judge people so much by what they are, instead of who they are. Gays, Roman Catholics...

Don't take NP too seriously. He's either what he says -- a crusty old dude -- or he's a left-leaning 20-something college grad who trolls in his free time.

That would be a religious ruling, a piece of theocracy, not a rule by the rights and liberties of the individual which is their charge. If the courts cannot do as they are demanded they do, then they should be removed.

Rge Catholic Church is strongly against gay marriage.....If you are a Catholic and believe in gay marriage you can be refused holy communion or maybe even ex communicated..............

God will be the judge not me...A couple of weeks ago at mass on Sunday we had a priest give a homily on gay marriage and he made it very clear where the church stands on the issue.

which is exactly why i am no longer a catholic. once they started telling us how to vote, i realized how strong they are with the suck.

yes, god will be the judge. not the priests or the pope. ex-communicating a catholic is ABSOLUTELY no different than shunning for the cult jehovah witnesses.

SCOTUS Judges can not be removed..........They serve for life.........

That is fine.....You will be judged for your actions or sins on judgment day.....

The priests or the pope don't judge........They just put forth church policy........a person can not pick and chose on those policies what they agree with...........
 
New York to Become the Sixth State to Legalize Gay Marriage



Not to point this at anyone specific but are we to really Banner headline this with every state..? I can see it now "ARK. 26TH STATE TO LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE" the following week, "MISSISSIPPI, AND THREE OTHERS TO LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE"

Meanwhile Rome burns.

And because the Catholic Church doesn't recognize 2nd marriages, should the state also refuse to recognize them?

How 'bout we just let Fred Phelps and his church decide who gets to marry whom?
 
Here is an interesting thought not to get it off subject, but those of you whom are so against gay marriage how do you feel about the laws being discussed in Congo currently about outlawing homosexuality, sending people to prison over it, and perhaps even sentencing them to death for "repeat offenders"?
 
Hey new york? Who gives a **** if you have another wtc. I dont.

I certainly care.

There is certainly a way to remove them. But I do actually think that we should amend the Constitution to allow a super majority vote from the People to remove SCOTUS judges. They're supposed to be impartial observers, serving the powers of the Executive and Legislative branches. Not some partisan crap hole. That's exactly the opposite of their purpose.
 
I certainly care.

Ok, and to be clear I don't care if homosexual couples marry or not. It really doesn't effect me, or my marriage at all. But, I also don't think that every state that legalizies gay marriage deserves the same topic being brought up again and again. After all, if you are a homosexual you are not an ethnic minority, just a group of people wanting to get married....Other than the couples themselves, religious zelots, or future divorce attorneys, we have more important issues.

You call it that my far left wing friend..........I don't hear you complaining about a bunch of far left SCOTUS judges in 1972 authorizing butchery in the womb though...Why am I not surprised?

Because the clear legal argument favors abortion rights. Duh.

If you could get the religious zealots to recognize that it has no impact on them, it would be appreciated.
