Yeah And In Ausrailia They're Up Tommorrow Morning...
let us get back to the issue at hand, which is marriage. Essentially the problem as I see it are the religious connotations of marriage. As a civil union recognized by the state it should be no problem, just like forming a business partnership. Conversely homosexuality is ostensibly forbidden in Christianity and the Muslim religions. Judaism too, if I remember my religous studies correctly. So with a quick lateral leap in logic, we're back to seperation of church and state. Religous people see marriage as a union sanctified by the church, secular folks see it as a union recognized by the state which would allow any married couple to enjoy the legal rights of a marriage union, all of which are covered under civil law.
As a secular humanist I don't care who marries whom. Makes absolutely no difference to me. Actually, let me take that one more step. I think anyone who wants to get married, by the state, should be able to. It's also a state's rights issue...Bush is just using constitutional amendment as a red herring, again.

What WGJ said.
The only reason this is an issue, is most states have their laws written to prevent someone from marrying a Parakeet, then using it as a tax deduction. I can see the restrictions there, but one human marrying another human for legality and financial reasons cause no problems or loss to the state. The church isn't suppose to be involved anyway. They sure aren't involved during tax time. Funny how this has suddenly once again, become an issue. Repeating myself... Alabama Man voted 4 to 1 against gay marriage.... on primary day. All the people who could care less....probably the majority... didn't bother showing up.. It's just a primary. That's how it ended up 4 to 1. Bush won the last election this way. Democrats need to find a subject that their party can rally on so everyone shows up. But... since we are so liberal, we don't won't to "ban" anything. Freedom and tolerance is the game plan. We gotta do something about that, and get the silent majority woke up.

Are You Sure??
Hey, I will watch Hannitty and Colmes on TV, but will not even listen to Hannitty on radio. Even though I hate Colmes, I couldn't stand a steady diet of Hannitty either.

Also, churches are involved at tax time---they don't pay any taxes and individual contributions to churches are tax deductible. Lee

http://www.gardenstateequality.org/poll.htm AZ has 60% opposed to a gay marriage ban, and only 33% supporting it http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepu...929poll29.html ...which must be some sort of inconsistency right? I mean AZ is a Republican state is it not? As a nation, 59% are in favor of the ban http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5044428.stm ...so yes, you are correct, it is a majority For demonstration purposes red is those who support a ban Fortunately a 3/4 majority is required in order to make an amendment, so the ban can be shot down (again) and we can move on to more pressing matters like illegal immigration

I'm almost glad it isn't legal yet, as I came pretty close to making a big mistake.

Hypocrisy? Where?
SubaSteevo:
"If people are as worried about saving the "sanctity of marriage" as their agenda would have you believe, then there would also be an amendment to ban divorces." GOOD CALL! Actually I'm suprised the lawyers aren't all over this. I read somewhere recently that a gay female couple, (in Mass I think), that went to great lengths to get married are already divorced AND there's a squabble over the kid(s). How much would the nationwide divorce rate go up if gay marrige was legal nationwide? I can hear the lawyers now, making that funny high pitched yipping noise they make when they smell prey. No wait, sorry, ... I was thinking of Hyenas. WGJ Last edited by WGJ; 06-07-2006 at 06:12 PM. |
