I would have to agree...

I really don’t care about gay marriage, isn’t an issue for me, government shouldn’t even have a hand in this at all, marriage isn’t a government entitlement.

If gays get married it doesn’t infringe on your rights, it places no burden on you other than the burden of non-interference (meaning you only have to ignore it).

Most here may disagree with gay marriage, and you’re free to do that as others are free to agree with it, but your disagreement is based on religious views, and religion is something that, for most, is a personal matter.

You can not sit and complain when Muslims want to push Sharia law on us, yet happily cheer when Catholics/Christians want to push their beliefs on all, I find it hypocritical in a monumental fashion.

Using the force of government to make others act as you want them to makes you no better than a liberal, you can not fight against government intervention and encroachment, then turn around and cheer that same intervention and encroachment because you agree with it.

Sorry, freedom isn’t something you can give and take based on a political whim, if you truly believe in freedom then you believe all people should be able to perform any peaceful act as long as that act does not infringe on the rights of another or place a burden on another member of society.

You are free to do as you choose.

You can’t call yourself freedom loving if you believe in limiting the freedoms of others because you disagree with those actions.

I’m not interested in being forced to “celebrate” sodomy; and I don’t intend to do so. I’m not stopping them from doing what they want. - Decided if they wanted to be filthy, let them be filthy still (unbothered). - I do have a problem paying fines and taxes in order to pay for some “transgendered” person’s surgeries, hormone treatments and psychiatric “therapy” to the tune of thousands of dollars. This is stupid. I have to be what I is and make peace with it; less complicated that way and okay by me. The rest of it for the most part, I can ignore. If Fred kisses George, I’ll turn my head and ignore their bad manners. Public displays of affection are tiresome anyway.

Interesting take on things. I didn't think that it was acceptable to promote homosexual marriage here, but I can't find a link to that opinion.

*snort!* That’s the silliest post I’ve read on FR in quite a while.

If you push for any part of the homosexual agenda on FR, you get the zot. FR is pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family. If you can’t handle that, then take a hike.

So, in your same-sex dimension of eternal victimhood, Muslims who stone women, cut off their clitoris, burn schools and kill school teachers who dare to teach girls to read and write, forbid women to drive, forbid women to show their face in public, incarcerate, mutilate, and stone women who appear in public without a male relatives escort, who behead women in the public square for adultery, who chain little boys to the floor in sura schools while they teach them to hate Israel and hate America and preach death to the Great Satan of Western civilization, who teach them that killing their sisters and daughters is the definition of honor, who teach them that strapping on explosives and blowing themselves up with Jews is freedom, who raped and killed an ambassador and raped female journalists in the city streets to the cheering and the delight of Muslim mobs, who threw candy and told people to celebrate when 3000 people died in flames on September 11, is in your sphincter-focused mind to be weighed on the same scale with the Bible's law that burying your phallus in the fecal material of your anal companion is an unnatural and unsanctified union, that this makes the Body of Christ a monster on the same scale as these savages that have soaked the world with blood and shouted "Allah Akbar" over the screams of millions of their victims, then by GOD wash the dust of America off your feet, and go to the head mullah of the city of Qom and ask him to celebrate and legitimize your same sex union, and see what the hell, I repeat hell, you get.

Deep breath.

I predict your remaining time here will be less than the life span of the Luna butterfly, so before you flutter off, I pray God replaces the missing circuitry in your head, before Satan decides your usefulness is over and pulls your plug. You know Satan. That guy who said that you were supposed to be his megaphone in this place.

Consider the state of your soul...Beelzebub might take a shine to your glutes and decide he wants you downstairs tomorrow. Between each heartbeat, there's a period of silence, and you never know, moment to moment, just how long that period of silence is going to be, except that the last one will be a doozy.

I have no problem with civil unions. A legal concept that should bestow the same rights and/or benefits that is conferred on a married couple.

But I am adamantly opposed to using the word "marriage" because it has a definitive etymology definition that is "union of a man and a woman".

A dolphin may look very much like a fish.....but it isn't a fish.
