Maryland Gay Marriage Bill sent back to cmte. Shelved for this year at least.

How does changing the meaning of one word to include other types of couples, without even excluding those couples that it already describes, change society? And even if it does, how is that change bad?

That's all you think is going to change? How we define a word?

No, people will actually be able to live their lives without the government limiting their pursuit of happiness.

What else do you believe will change that could possibly negatively affect you or someone else who is against SSM? Explain exactly what it is and what exact harm it will likely cause, please.
 
Wine..........whine............whine-n-cheese.....come on, really?

Oppression oppression oppression, that's what your position is all about.
 
Wine..........whine............whine-n-cheese.....come on, really?

I've gotta admit, that one went way over my head, too.

The appropriate way to set up that insult is, "Do you want some cheese with that whine."

Anywho, what all is gonna change with same sex marriage? I'm sure the Canadians on the forum are eager to hear your predictions.

That would have helped you follow?

You think your opinion on homosexuality is going to change when same-sex marriage becomes legal?

That depends.

You dodged the question.

I didn't dodge it, I ignored it. I've given up giving a crap about CT's questions and statements.
 
Okay, look, you cannot base a defense for a law on "I don't know what might happen but because I and others personally believe that this behavior is bad/wrong/sinful/distasteful/whatever negative word you care to use, it should remain that way because something bad might happen if we legalize it". This could easily be used as an excuse to legitimize almost any law. You have to have a legitimate reason to deny people equal protection. The behavior/action has to have some state interest to be denied equal protection.

I believe homosexual behavior to be wrong and I believe our society shouldn't be forced to change a longstanding, and sincere, tradition to accommodate it. There are quite a few laws on the books for that or similar reasons.

I have a thought about that but I guess I'll have to express it in a form other than a question or statement.
