Marriage is the union of 1 man and 1 woman for the purpose of furthering the human race.
Obviously 2 men or 2 women cannot reproduce!!!!
Call their unions what they want, but they are NOT marriages!!!!!!!

So old people and sterile people's marriages should not be called marriages? They cannot reproduce.

The dictionary has it right, so should you.

How can an adult believe that there is an actual devil!?
Grow up!

Well the majority of Americans all believe God is what is good, and the devil is what is evil. I would suggest there's a big difference between good and evil, but a legally insane person like you would not understand the difference between good and evil.

Married couples enjoy sex for several reasons, for marital bonding, for procreation as they yearn to have children to carry on the family name. Older people still enjoy sex as it has been a bond of their marriage to share their passion with each other until death do they part.

Now infertile couples enjoy the marital bonding of sex, and because they cannot have kids they usually adopt, and presto! They begin having kids, it's like a miracle that has been documented in millions of cases.

Your argument is weak and shows your inability to reason, that or perhaps you are just immature and uneducated.

Come one, come all to Brownwood Texas USA! Don't be dissuaded from visiting or moving to Brownwood because of intolerance of diversity shown by topix posters such as Powerful Information. These kind of anti-equality minded bigots even hate on our former First Lady, Laura Bush !

Laura Bush is hardly a feminine figure. Many think she is a dyke or a masculine woman, so it would come as no surprise that she would say such a ridiculous thing in support of gay marriage.

The Texas Constitution defines marriage as a man and a woman; long live Texas!

Laura Bush,'where were you when we needed you?'

By Jonathan Capehart | May 13, 2010; 5:33 AM ET

I was tooling around Facebook yesterday when something my friend Scott Sanders put on his news feed caught my eye. Laura Bush, who's promoting her new book, "Spoken from the Heart," expressed support for abortion rights on Tuesday's "Larry King Live." That alone is newsworthy. But what also caught my attention was what Bush said about same-sex marriage. She's for it. And she believes that its legality "will come." Bush told King, "When couples are committed to each other and love each other, then they ought to have, I think, the same sort of rights that everyone has."

How about that? Another high-powered Republican coming out for marriage equality. Cindy and Meghan McCain and former vice president Dick Cheney have long been members of this club. But when I asked my friend Charles Francis what he thought about this revelation, he put my enthusiasm in check.

"As a longtime family friend, who respects Laura greatly," Francis told me, "I can only say,'Where were you when we needed you?'"

"For me and other gay friends and original gay and lesbian supporters who put it out there for President Bush, this comment comes painfully late," Francis said. "The actual legacy, and legacy is what we are talking about, is eight years of unremitting policy hostility for any gay issue mixed with personal warmth, which made this so difficult. This culminated in a willingness to write us into the Constitution itself. Laura Bush never helped us, and we tried many times."

Allies in the struggle for equal rights are always welcome. But heroes are made when they speak up and take a stand from a position of power. Francis and other gays and lesbians were looking for heroes during the eight years of the Bush administration. How sad that Mrs. Bush averted her gaze until now.

For eight years they call Bush a liar, now they go around quoting Bush.

Who called Laura Bush a liar ? Are you attempting to Swiftboat Laura because she stands publicly for marriage equality ? Gonna go after Cindy McCain next ? I'm seeing a trend of anti-women attitudes from you anti-equality men ! No wonder cowards like you keep your posting "location hidden". You'd fit in real well in conservative Brownwood/Brown County Texas !

Homosexuality looks for anything to further their cause even if it's hypocrisy. They are that desperate to win acceptance, their claustrophobia is strangling them, and their perversion has to be flaunted. Homosexuality is a perversion that cannot be contained in silence.

The dictionary defines the Perverted to be the homosexual.
If being against perversion makes one hateful, then I'll wear the false accusation as a badge of honor.

The dictionary has the homosexual pervert correctly defined, so should you.

Don't forget Laura Bush also killed her boyfriend and suffers from emotional psychological issues. People in support of gay marriage are damaged goods, and have emotional psychological problems. I hope she reads my posts.

Anti-Gay Richard Land Reprimanded and Show Cancelled After Racist Remarks
My experience has been that when harbors hate and one is a bigot towards one group, it's likely that the individual also harbors similar feelings towards other minority groups. Richard Land, laughably the chief ethics official of the Southern Baptist Convention ("SBC"), is a case in point. Land is viciously anti-gay and would appear to be a racist as well. In the wake of the murder of Trayvon Martin Land shot off his big mouth with vitriolic and inflammatory remarks attacking Barack Obama and supporting racial profiling of blacks. Apparently, this was too much from a PR perspective even for the SBC which came into being when southern Baptist churches broke from the American Baptist Association so that they could continue to support slavery. Land has reportedly been reprimanded and has had his hate spouting radio show cancelled. What the SBC should have done was flat out fired Land and given him his walking papers.

it's about time ! Some many Bitter Baptists !

Don't be fooled there is no hatred in loving what is good, normal, and wholesome, while frowning on what is abnormal, wrong, and perverted.

That which is perverted can never be equal with that, which is not perverted.

If gays really want equality they should abandon their perversion.

Let the love of marriage equality into your bitter, tainted and jaded heart today. It wasn't that long ago that Bitter anti-equality Christians apologized for their immoral stance on slavery ! Anti-equality Christians, even in Brownwood which is home to nearly 100 churches, have so often been proven wrong on their immoral and discriminatory behavior.

Everybody should embrace diversity and inclusiveness, until of course it means embracing the perversions of repulsive homosexuality.

It's not hateful to love what is good, wholesome, and normal, while refusing to embrace what is wrong, perverted, and abnormal.

The dictionary says the pervert is the disgusting homosexual.
The dictionary has it right, so should you.

I asked how can an adult believe there is an actual devil. There can be evil without an actual, personal devil.

I understand the difference between good and evil, I just don't need to believe in silly Bronze Age myths in order to know what is right, and what is wrong.

You are the one who seems immature and uneducated. And you don't seem able to reason.

People don't have to be able to reproduce in order to marry. That's it. Do most reproduce? That's not an issue.
