She should research what happened in Scandinavia.

[Happygal]

I like gay people, but I've yet to find one, I'd want to marry! ;-)

[T.Smith]

I agree that the GA State Legislature could be taking care of a hell of a lot more important things than this. Their priorities are all out of order.

[tet68]

"At a time when marriage is rapidly losing its allure for so many heterosexuals....."

And the fact that gay and lesbian attempts to change the law
further erode the basis for that allure have nothing to do with it?

Cynthia, what a liberal mouthpiece you are.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Do you know what's happened to Mad Ivan?

[MegaSilver]

She should research what happened in Scandinavia.

I can probably guess, but just to be safe, what DID happen there?

[Tanniker Smith]

Gays and lesbians deserve the right to succeed -- or fail -- at marriage just like the rest of us.

Oh, come now. Gays have been failing at marriage for years. Mostly because they're gay. And their partners weren't.

[Happygal]

Yes, he's fine. He's just not posting here at the moment.

[CommonSense007]

yet people that call themselves homosexuals want a law passed in their favor.

I'll say it a different way.
Passing a law, one must DEFINE what one is
trying to pass.

There is NO scientific evidence of a species
called "homosexuals".

If you are for "same sex unions" tell me what scientific evidence you have that says there is a species
called "homosexual" and present me the evidence.

To the mentally deficient here that say
"oh those wacky gays aren't bothering anyone
so let em get married"... I say to them
please state to me exactly what is a
homosexual with your scientific information.

If you can't DEFINE something scientifically
or even Lawfully as to when a person is
DEEMED HOMOSEXUAL then how can you pass a law
regarding this.

I'll say this in a different way, at what
age is the factor that one determines one
is a homosexual? 11? 12? 13? 14? Puberty?
Who decides your a "homosexual"? You? The STATE?
A Medical Doctor?

So you want the state a society to pass an law
based on "you feel gay"?

We all know what a male and a female is
and that male and females continutes the
human race.

So don't floss over and try and use the phrase
"same sex union" in law and then say
"gay marriage".

If you claim to be gay and or lesbian
put out there in legal terms/words
"gay marriage" in law, don't play your
politically correct words to us.

"same sex union" yeah right.

Here's a link. I bet your guess is correct.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Personally, I think that they started calling themselves "gay" hoping that somehow it would become a self fulfilling prophesy.

Here's another link.

As a matter of fact, I had no idea how right it would be.
