South Carolina Supreme Court Halts Same-Sex Marriage Licenses

Navy Pride said:
Its true no one owns it but Gays should not be allowed to change the definition.

their rights which have changed marriage in this nation to include same sex couples change that definition legitimately and with the support of more and more hetero sexuls to boot

helps that that can do anything that any other couple is required to do to get married
 
Navy Pride said:
And that is so sad.........Marriage and gay were always honorable words......they are not now.
Click to expand...

that's subjective

still nothing wrong with the word gay nothing wrong with homosexuality

and theirs nothing wrong with same sex marriage and marriage that includes it

SSM is an oxymoron.

how? gender doesn't seem to mater when it comes to anything we require of a couple

what task must a hetero sexual couple perform to get married that single sex couple can't do
 
roguenuke said:
No it's not. You really do not know the meaning of the word "oxymoron".

I feel bad for him

hey papa

I gave the matter some thought and I found an actual oxymoron related to marriage for you to use

I call it

single marriage

its composed of a 1 person couple

upon further consideration I should perhaps expand that definition to include group single marriages where there are more then 2 of only the exact same person

Your anecdotal evidence is irrelevant.

Here's an idea. Stop posting opinions presented as facts and I won't have to point out this error so often.

I'm not pretending anything, just refuting most of what you say.

Of course you're pretending that your opinions are facts. It's really all you have in this debate. Oh, and you haven't come close to refuting anything I... or anyone else has said.
 
WCH said:
I haven't personally been persecuted (unless you want to call what the Christians haters on here do, persecution) but, daily throughout the world, many are persecuted or killed.

And many gays, throughout the world, are persecuted every day.
 
WCH said:
They break the laws of their country and get punished. That's what depravity will get you in certain places.

Those countries write those laws because they believe homosexuality is BAD for their society and against their religion.

That doesn't alter the fact that it is persecution. Most of the Christian persecution that we saw over the past 2000 years was because those societies believed that Christianity was bad for their society. So, for consistency's sake, if you do not have a problem with gays being persecuted because of law, you don't have a problem with Christians being persecuted because of law, right?

Actually, no. 52% of people in this country completely disagree with you. How does it feel to be on the wrong side of the issue, NP?
 
AlabamaPaul said:
You're correct, I do not own the meaning, the courts do not define the meaning, society does that...
Click to expand...

And, currently at around 52%, this society deems marriage as the coupling of two people regardless of their sexual orientation.
 
AlabamaPaul said:
Societies define marriage, not courts. If you want the federal government to define marriage, let's get a convention together and discuss it. If not, the federal courts have no business ruling State's Constitutions "unconstitutional" as that subject is not covered any more than driver's licenses...

Of course the Federal courts have the business of ruling State's Constitutions unconstitutional... if they are unconstitutional.

well the number might be wrong but i suppose since it doesn't matter how many religious peapole agree with him it doesn't mater much if few happen to either
 
WCH said:
Because I consider them in the same category as other depravities. That's enough reason. IMO.

I trust the knowledge that has been passed down to mankind from God. I spent a great deal of my life ignoring his word and now know I screwed up.

I wish I had taken the knowledge I learned when I was young and applied it to everyday of my existence.

God does not exist, and I don't give a flying fig what you think he says.

Blacks are identified by their color.......Gays don't have that problem.

Wow....what an incredibly racist thing to say. Next....NP will be claiming that if given the choice, Black people would change their "problem" and become white.
 
Navy Pride said:
How can you tell if someone is gay unless they flaunt it or they hit on someone straight? Its not like a black person. A couple of times when I was on active duty and gays made advances against straights it shocked me to find out these people were gay.

maybe he means the abuse homosexuals can receive is not as bad as acts of racism or comparable even if similar actions are taken by the abuser because homosexlty can be hidden

though that doesn't make god dam sense so I could be wrong
 
I keep hearing the homosexuals tossing around the word "bigotry" like it's some kind of magic word that makes people who disagree with them shut up. And it doesn't seem to be working for them. A little look at what the word actually means tells you why.

big·ot·ry
ˈbiɡətrē/
noun
intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.

Aha! That's why it doesn't work for them. They're the ones that are intolerant of any opinion other than their own. The advocates of homosexual marriage are, by definition, the bigots because of their utter lack of tolerance for any opinion but their own on this matter.

Nope you are free to have the OPINION same sex is wrong, you are free to have the OPINION that homoexuality is a sin. What you want to do is make your opinion law to where you DENY a choice for homosexuals to get married. That is where people fight your views and the anti-SSm crowd is LOSING, thank GOD!
