Marriage= man and women
Marriago= man and man
Marriaga= women and women
My employee who is against gay marriage had another idea. Call them traditional marriage and the other Kerry marriage.
Make them legally the same thing. Fixed the problem for both sides. PROBLEM SOLVED both sides win.

Other than the Kerry quote, I agree.

Yes, but I believe that Catholics think that procreation is one of the responsibilities under marriage, no? It may not be a defined requirement, but I think its implied. Uh, what the hell do I know, I was turned off by Christianity years ago.
Let me say one thing on the issue. Many here may not feel that denying gay marriage is a hateful thing. They may not even feel like they hate gays. But many who DID vote that way do. The following is an email sent to notable "log cabin republican" Andrew Sullivan:
"I wonder if you noticed that yesterday all eleven states that considered the question of gay marriage voted to ban it. ALL ELEVEN. I think this sends a very clear message -- true Americans do not like your kind of homosexual deviants in our country, and we will not tolerate your radical pro-gay agenda trying to force our children to adopt your homosexual lifestyle. You should be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL that we even let you write a very public and influential blog, instead of suppressing your treasonous views (as I would prefer). But I'm sure someone like yourself would consider me just an "extremist" that you don't need to worry about. Well you are wrong -- I'm not just an extremist, I am a real American, and you should be worried because eleven states yesterday proved that there are millions more just like me who will not let you impose your radical agenda on our country."
If that is how people feel, this country is in trouble. Fact is, this was the movtivating factor in what drove so many people to the polls, even in Ohio. And I think text like the above email ought to cause Republicans to reflect on their base.

That is not true. Language in just about all the 11 states specifically prohibit any rights that a civil union would give gay couples.

You could substitute "gay" and "homosexual" for "black" in that statement and it would sound like it came out of the 50's & 60's. Hate is hate anyway you look at it.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

... and then after the gays it's the latinos, and the blacks, and the jews, and the muslims, and where does it end?

Hey how did you figure out the Republican's top secret plan for world white-inization?

Comments like that are as ridiculous as saying a democratic president is going to lead us right into socialism and does not help solve anything. The differences between the average democrat and average rebublican are fairly minute. Where is my moderate party at, damnit!

I already do. And it didn't do much to change my mind.
I'm not going to sit here and play this pissing match with you people though. If I want to believe that marriage is between a man and woman, then I'm going to do it, damned what anyone else thinks of me. Call me childish. I see that coming already. In fact, I'll save everyone the trouble.
I'm childish. 
The bottom line is all the Bible thumping going on around here would mean nothing in counter to what I said earlier if I stated that I don't believe in any religion or homosexuality. Period.
