If you are a “conservative” then you cannot be “pro gay marriagE” because being in favor of gay marriage is a progressive expansion of law, history, culture and social norms. Your entire premise is flawed.
Everyone's got an opinion.
So.. you’re a fag?
IBTZ.
Dick Cheney is that you???
Interesting thought. I am most certainly not pro-gay marriage, but being a former Prosecutor who has argued his fair number of Constitutional issues before SCOTUS and State and Federal Courts, I DO believe that it is a State issue and that the Fed Government should stay out of it.
Seconded.
Opposing homosexual marriage is not the same as hating homosexuals. Not condoning homosexuality is not the same as hating homosexuals.
There is a distinct difference.
Expressing your argument by using the term “hate” only serves to perpetuate the fallacious claims of the left, and you are unlikely to be well received with such expressions here.
I personally don’t care.
I am not for homosexual marriage. I am not against homosexual marriage. I am against government involvement in marriage in ANY form.
I tend to agree with those who cite the DEFINITION of marriage, but in the end, what I want is not what most people want so it’s all irrelevant. I just want the government out of the institution altogether.
Regardless of that, when you imply that conservatives are motivated by hate, you show that you are not, in fact, conservative. Otherwise you would know better.
Perhaps you should rephrase your query?
Change thousands of years of tradition for a lifestyle? That is not a conservative.
There are lots of OTHER websites.
Supporting gay marriage basically means that you have blown-off Western values - which is fine, but PLEASE don’t call yourself a conservative if you that is who you are.
No you don't!
Marriage simply recognizes the existence of a bonded pair, one male and one female, and is in line with "evolution". Any other belief is not in line with "evolution" and must be considered to be in serious error.
Eventually we will FIX this problem.
Uh oh, you’ve been “told on” by someone above me...
No such thing as “homo marriage”
IBTZ!
All individuals have their own opinions and they aren’t going to be the same as anyone. You have to prioritize and find out where standing up for the tranny and homo lobby fits in relation to the rest of your principles. The line has clearly been drawn in the sand. There are a few positions I share with the left as well, like legalizing drugs; however, since I don’t use them, it is pretty much on the bottom of my list.
well, bye.
