There are no gender equality rights in the Constitution or in nature.

Oh yes there is...

perhaps you need to re-read the Constitution and it's Amendments.

No, it wouldn't be marriage. The purpose of marriage is for society to create an appropriate setting for sex and a home for the children of that union with the kid's mom and dad. Same sex couples don't need that because they can't have their own kids and if they could adopt, they'd deprive the child of either a mom or dad.

no it's not, it's a social construct. Are you telling me that animals in nature get married in some ceremony?

What if a lesbian has sex with a man and gets pregnant?

You can call it what ever you want, it's still marriage. A civil union is marriage by another name. I don't care what you call it, the sky is blue, you can call it green, but it's still blue.

Civil unions and domestic partnerships are the perfect compromise. Same sex marriage is a bridge too far.

It's actually the same thing... get over it

Exactly dipshit. I'd say your logic of "if deers in the forest don't have it, neither should we", seems pretty darn stupid now, doesn't it?

Same sex marriage is bigger government.

I support MARRIAGE for anyone who wants it. Even if these individuals offend your religious beliefs, marriages are not just made in churches. Members of the LGBQT community deserve the same rights we're all promised as PEOPLE.

I'm for conserving our traditional values.

There is a reason men and women have different gender roles. Marriage is between husband and wife because that gives our government the next generation of citizens, felons and taxpayers.

Ever notice how more children of single parent homes go to jail than children raised by mom and dad?

There are hundreds of thousands of kids in orphanages which could have parents, if only there were no irrational people like you Brian. Single parent children are a liability? Why, lets prevent even more kids from getting two parents! That oughta fix it, huh?

Why the bloody hell not?

There is a difference between man and woman; marriage reflects this difference. Vive la difference.

I'm for traditional values, too. I think I should be able to smack around that broad that I married if she don't clean the house, do the dishes, have dinner ready, and pull down her panties when I'm ready. I'm also for that tradition of smacking around my kids if they don't do what I tell them. I'm also for that tradition where I can buy those black people to plow my fields. I'm also for that tradion where blacks and whites don't go to the same schools. I'm also for that good tradtion where it is illegal for a black and a white to marry.

You and I are the same.

You're just now figuring this out? I figured this out in the sand box when little suzy showed me hers and I showed her mine. Eventually I went to preschool and was told I'm not supposed to do that in public (so I would show it to them in private)

I'm proud of you. Maybe mom will let you turn the computer off by yourself someday.

No, we're not the same. When you understand man and woman are different, that doesn't mean man is better. Keep reading, you'll get it someday.

Not just men, but white men... we're good conservatives. God loves white heterosexual men, keep up brian... we're the same.
