Gay Marriage Debate - Eureka, CA

I oppose open gayness in general. I don't advertise my heterosexuality, and I don't expect special consideration.

Its a free country, remember?

I didn't support gay marriage until I witnessed all the hatred against gay people by so-called Christians during the Proposition 8 campaign. Now I realize gay people need all the legal protection they can get from their avowed enemies.

Josh, wanna be my boyfriend?

yes on civil rights. most gay people don't want to get married just want acknowledgement of their civil rights like anyone else. is that so difficult to understand?

You may not advertise it but you certainly have the freedom to do so. Homosexuals are not demanding special consideration, they want equal consideration.

Carl. Well said. I happen to be gay and was married to my partner of 5 years on 8/8/08 during the brief window that marriage was legal. I believe that it is a civil right to have the same opportunities (not special) as every other citizen of the United States of America.

I was in the Vietnam war and served my country the same as the other, straight, soldiers. Why should I have less rights than they do? Hell, livestock has more rights than Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Trans people do.

California has the right to determine who gets married and who doesn't under the 10th amendment. Under the 10th this is not a federal matter, and California's Supreme Court has already issued a ruling that the Constitutional Amendment is correct and binding. The Feds are going to toss it on grounds, just like they have every other time it's been brought up. Sorry Homos.

When there is no right being violated.
There is no such thing as the right to marry. Or the right to gay marriage.

Oh.......... you're retarded.

When your keepers come to change you, try not to throw your feces on them...They're just trying to help you because you don't have the mental capacity to help yourself.

Correct!

We have undermined the equal rights of gay people for FAR too long.

First of all the Bible is very clear that homosexuailty is an aboniation to God. It is also very clear that no man has the right to hate or judge another man, only God can and will, christains included for how they treat others. With that being said I appose the act of homosexuality, but I do not hate the person commiting the act, because then I would be breaking one of God's laws myself.

Boys can marry boys; girls can marry girls. Dear Christians, please burn your little story book and step into the 21st century. Thanks. <3
