Chris Christie set to veto gay marriage bill

It is mostly in the south where you would find people who disapprove of interracial marriage. You can deny all you want, but I know people who find interracial relationships disgusting. More than many would like to know. Some I am related to. And I know some of them would not mind at all making interracial relationships illegal again. It is the same thing, no matter how much you wish to deny it.

It will be in my lifetime, likely in the next decade, that same sex marriage will become legal throughout the US. I have no doubt. My generation, which are in their 30s, are much more accepting of same sex relationships. And the generations after mine are even more okay with same sex marriage.

Pa., Ohio, Indiana, Montana, SD, ND, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Idaho,(I could go on and on) are not in the South

I will just say every Red state and a lot of blue ones not in the NE.

They may as well be with the amount of hillbillies they have.
 
What Navy and other hard lined social conservatives just don't get is that 20 years ago, gay marriage wasn't even talked about let alone put on the ballot. Time is against them all on this one and eventually gay marriage will pass across the majority of the states, if not the whole U.S. with a Supreme Court ruling.

I will say this for Christie: he has been consistent in his position. He said quite clearly when he was running that he was opposed to gay marriage, and he was elected. I can't fault him for being consistent ... though I can fault him for being a bigot.

By the same token, many conservatives attack Obama for signing health care reform into law when a majority opposed it. But he ran on a platform of health care reform, so I don't think conservatives can attack him for subverting the will of the people either. Doesn't mean they have to agree with the policy, but....

Why do you insist on calling people names who disagree with you. Why can't other people have a difference of opinion. I take back my apology to you. You lefties call us the intolerant one when in fact you are the intolerant ones..........

We're intolerant because we don't tolerate intolerance?
 
I think Christie has been and excellent Governor. He relieved that wimp and cut spending, balanced the budget. Something no other Gov. could do.

Alright, well, just go easy on them when one or more of them do come out of the closet. The odds aren't in your favor.

While I believe that you most likely have a very good relationship with your family, they are quite aware of your feelings on the matter of homosexuality and would see little need to burden you with the fact of one of them being gay.

And as I suggested in my edit, your family probably sees no loss in letting you continue to believe that.

Then let's say hypothetically, one of them turns out to be gay. How would you react?

You are really a piece of work my left wing friend. You really shouldn't worry about my family but take care of your own unless your one of the snot nosed kids that patronize this forum...........

Except in Navy logic, that just means that Oscar Wilde chose to be gay after he had kids. :lol:

Whoa! Navy...did not like that!

Navy, the extent of your reaction convinces that if any of your family did turn out to be gay, there's no way in hell they'd tell you.

I must have hit a nerve..:) Two things things can happen One you will not like it and two you can get over it.

Tell me something out of curiosity, why do you lefties always attack the messenger?

Oh, so true. My grandparents were some pretty hard core racists and that's precisely what happened to them.
