As we've mentioned, you don't have to be straight to get married. We're talking about the redefinition of marriage, not any kind of discriminatory practice.
Also, if we're going to debate this, we should leave separation of church and state out of it. Many people are against gay marriage for religious reasons, but I'm pretty sure that it's agreed upon that that's a bad reason to enact legislation. Also, moved to CT. |

I think northern va should succeed just like west virginia did, but instead of calling ourselves North Virginia, we should call the state something awesome like Xorboth or Tragnik. (in response to squeek's comment about va's new amendment)

I question the idea that requiring a male-female relationship for marriage is universal, objective and not fundamentally flawed.
I also question the idea that a rewrite of the apparent definition of marriage to exclude relationships with specific gender requirements is bad or even inconvenient enough to warrant not doing it.

Saying it's equal would be false, and probably one of the reasons that no middle ground has been reached. I'm in favor of a compromise.

Don't you even dare think that it's about love. The idea that people in love should marry to express the union of their hearts is a relatively new idea in the grand scheme of the world. In the same era Jane Austen lived in, women in England were expected to be sexually cold. I remember hearing there was a famous saying around those days where on the night of their marriage when they have sex with their husband that they should just "Close [their] eyes and think of England" because it was something out of duty.

As I said before, marriage has nothing to do with love or attraction. That concept is new. I have more that I want to say, but it'll have to wait because I have to run to Deutchklasse.

On the topic of gay couples adopting:
What of parents who have legitimage children, get divorced, then decide they're gay and begin living with another person of the same gender? Should they have their rights as a parent taken away? How is that any different than a gay couple adopting?

Last I checked, parents that get involved in homosexual relations do have harder time winning anything that has to do with custody.
Not saying it's right or wrong, but it is how things are.

Also, how exactly are the exceptions you pointed out logical? A sterile couple is just as incapable of reproducing as two men. I fail to see how it's relevant that they could reproduce if they weren't sterile--with that same line of reasoning, I could say that a couple of two men could produce offspring if one of them was a woman.

FoJaR, are you ever going to produce an argument of your own rather than nibble at those of others?
If not, then take a crack at my post. I'm curious to see what you have to say.

Now, think about something. Most of the people on this forum are for gay marriage.
Most of the young people I have met are for gay marriage. So, with all these gay marriage bans passing, I was wondering something. Is the older, more socially regressive generation ruining things for the younger more progessive generation? |

gg Shash.
My patience is worn out, I'm afraid. I'm going to step out of this conversation.
