[begin rant] 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? [end rant] Sorry, had to vent.

It's not the religious behind all of this.
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.

Hey Mike, would it be okay if two brothers wanted to marry?
EDIT: Let me rephrase that -- Should it be 'legal' for two brothers to get married?

I wouldn't care Davo. They already enjoy family related benefits and would probably only see marginal increase or benefit in anything else.
And they would pay more in taxes. I say bring it on.
Now, can you Davo give a reason to ban gays from marrying?

If it's not your @$$, don't worry about it. If they want to get married, let them get married. It's not like heterosexual marriage is setting a great example in this nation anyways. I'd be more upset at homosexuals if they were trying to disolve the union of marriage altogether because it's discriminatory against their sexual preference. Rather, they want to conform to our social ideals and ask for their opportunity to live a normal life and since so many of us tightwads have such a hard time with gay people, we deny them that right.

And speaking of slippery slopes...
If they ban gay marriage today mainly for certain religious purposes, will they next ban OTHER types of marriages that don't fit their religion?

Like FMR said, so maybe a guy and two chicks should be able to marry then? I mean come on, it's not you, so why does it matter. We have to have certain things certain ways. We're not killing gay people or stealing their property, they're just not allowed to marry.
