I am glad someone like you put this issue in perspective.Why should others be forced to accept this disgusting lifestyle.Should we not be given the right to refuse to accept Homosexual marriage which immoral and unnatural.Kudos to you Mr. Fulkerson for telling it like it is and not what the liberals want us to hear.

Ah, the idiocy abounds. Your ability to "refuse" ends when you step outside your front door. Like it or not, what you are promoting is bigotry. Don't like married same-sex couples, don't invite them home to dinner, it's just that simple. Anything more than that is bigotry. Grow up.

Grow Up ? the Hobbit says Grow Up. ant that a hoot? LMAO

Thats Funny?

> don't invite them home to dinner

* yeah right ... invite them mountain climbing.
better yet invite them parachuting.

I would love the right to refuse a lot of things, but it would only make life less bearable for someone else and in turn myself....

What is so hard about letting people who are not even involved with your life be happy? Are you afraid somewhere down the road the gays are going to keep gathering strength until they uprise and teach all of our kids not to have monogamous heterosexual relationships? If your answer is yes, I really do feel sorry for you and everyone that interacts with you.

Actually their issue seems to stem from a desire to force others to live by the rules of their mythology whether they want to live by them or not.

The majority of Americans want marriage defined as being between a man and a woman. If others who have their own mythology don't want to live by it, they can go and have their union blessed or voodooed or whatever they're happy with. The rights of gay couples can be codified legally without the word marriage.

Nope. You don't get to determine who gets married. See how easy that is?

I always love how people like you speak of morals while in the same breath expressing rage and bigotry toward those with a different lifestyle than yours.

Gays marrying does not affect the rest of us in any way and you know it. You can only get as angry about it as you let yourself.

Give them the same rights but just don't call it marriage to make YOU feel better? What an arrogant post.

And if somebody doesn't agree with you guys, he's a racist or bigot. Y'all are the intolerant folks. Gay couples have the same rights provided as anyone else.

If the majority wants marriage defined, then so be it, as long as the gay cohabitants can register as a legal couple and enjoy all the legal rights afforded them, what's your beef?

Stop being so intolerant.

No, it has nothing to do with me. The term bigot applies to people who wish to deny others the same rights they enjoy.

1. Like it or not, marriage and family are the basic building block of American Society.

2. No significant percent of homosexuals has "married" in ANY country that allows the contrived oxymoron and only about 1.6% of the US population claims to be "GLBT" anyway,

3. Children are the usual and natural result of real marriage. No child will EVER be born as a direct result of a homosexual relationship, so homomarriage fails on this one, too!
Having both a mother and father in the home is one of the best statistical predictors of a child's future success in life.

4. No homosexual relationship can provide this.

5. Marriage is recognized as moral and necessary by nearly all Americans. Americans overwhelmingly reject homosexual "marriage"

6. and most find homosexual acts to be immoral and damaging.

1. With a 57% divorce rate, they are not very solid building blocks.

2. Why should that be a reason to deny it to those that want it?

3. Many married couples choose to not have children and some are incapable of having children, yet they still have a right to marry.

4. Wrong. More and more are providing loving homes for children.

5. No, you just made that up. I'm heterosexual and have no interest in marriage. My girlfriend and I are perfectly content. BTW, it wouldn't matter if 99.99% of Americans rejected gay marriage. They don't get to decide for other grown people who to love and marry. And quite frankly, gay marriage would have no detrimental effect on heterosexuals whatsoever and you know it.

6. Like heterosexual couples in extramarital affairs, premarital sex, teen pregnancies and numerous heterosexual sex scandals?

You truly are delusional if you believe that.

Cohabitants have the same rights as married couples if they register as domestic partners.

No one is denying rights to anyone...folks who demand the redefining of marriage to meet their whims think life is Burger King and they can have it their way, and if they don't get exactly what they want, then they're being discriminated against. Phooey.

Jenna, cohabitants don't have any of the same rights. We can't file joint tax returns, we can't inherit. Where do you get your infomation?

Funny how no one called you a name and only mentioned your arrogance and you went off with this bizarre rant. It's almost as if you were waiting for just anyone to respond to you so you could issue forth this garbage. It more or less points to you being just another ordinary troll that is so bored with their life that they play these silly little games.

Find a hobby that is productive. You fail at trolling.

To attempt to "codify legally" without using the word "marriage" both violates the First Amendment by attempting to force the recognition of religion into law(BTW Your beliefs do not hold the copyright on the term "marriage", get over it) as well as creating a "seperate but equal" status which was rules Unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

Exactly. Why should we be forced to accept the filth of Christian hate?

Attempting to segregate those couples based only on the gender make up of those couples IS bigotry.

Liar. Not only do those "benefits" NOT equal marriage, in many places they are refused recognition.
