I saw two of my gay friends break down in tears last night when they found out measure 36 passed, adding discrimination to our state's constitution. Not a single freaking state rejected these measures. I'm sure God is pleased that all his loving followers have worked so hard to keep our families, children and marriages safe from those dirty queers...

I swear, everytime I see some SUV with a Jesus fish on one side and a "one man, one woman" sticker on the other, I get so damn disgusted. Some middle-aged seacow who has never met a homosexual person in her life thinks it's their Christian duty to prevent "those sick gay people" from trying to have any sort of freedoms or rights. Meanwhile they continue to instruct all their followers about how treating gay people like actual human beings is a sin. It's probably only because gay people can't produce more soldiers for God's army. And only straight marriages can be pure and holy - even while daddy is banging the secretary, mommy is popping valuum and your daughter keeps getting felt up by the youth leader. But at least queers can't marry now because everyone knows they're the ones with the real problems.

Will people ever f*cking realize that they shouldn't try to decide what people can do in their personal lives, and that they shouldn't worry about it because it doesn't effect them?

Sorry, had to vent.



I feel the same way, Im simply astounded that it passed, it has partially shaken my faith in the average American. Like I said on another forum, I dont give a [censored] how homophobic you are its so blatantly obvious that a gay-marriage ban goes against what the constitution says and does its ridiculous. Between that and probably reelecting Bush largely on moral/religious based issues (QUEERS DONT RUIN MY MARRIAGE / NO I TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT ABORTION, YOU HAVE NO SAY!) Im all out of faith.

Also, when you see those stickers just try to get their attention and then call them fag or faggot, since theyre obviously homophobic. Quick and easy. Also, Id like to meet someone whos marriage was effected in any way because 2 gay guys got married. But at least the argument FOR the ban doesnt have a leg to stand on so arguing that it shouldnt have passed is really really easy.

I'm with Bush on this one, lets explore civil unions, and let the term Marriage be for a man and a woman. If we allow gays to marry then what else are we opening the door to?

Polygamy?

Maybe a Bisexual 3-some of 2-guys & 1 woman all want to be married.

We wouldn't want to dicriminate against anyones sexual agenda.






Agreed, and the thread starter is clearly immature.



How the hell is ammending the state constitution to ban gay-marriage mature? [censored] its not even constitutional. How many time has polygamy been legal? But a marriage between two adults has been legal for as long as the country has been around, who am I to say WHO those two people can be? At the foundation of American values I simply cannot, that freedom and nondescrimination should be cherished and preserved. Although if you can convince me that gay people getting married is some how going to desanctitize your marriage, shoot.
