If you're not signed in, you can vote more. That's why you can see total votes up in the 2 or 3 hundreds, and only 40 or 50 names showing total for having voted between all of the options.
votes should be one per IP.
Because marriage has typically been between one man and one woman.
Will I stop gay marriage? No, but neither do I support it.
Leave it up to the individual states to decide.
Tbh, I don't see how it's uncivil to voice an opposing viewpoint.
Am I allowed to have a differing pov?
I suppose in order to be civil I must accept your view.
One can be civil, and have a different view on SSM.
If you look at it from the perspective of a gay man or a lesbian then its hard to see any argument against being against SSM as civil. After all you are trying to deny them the right to marry the person they love.
I'm not insinuating anything, I'm asking a question of someone who, while claiming not to be in any way gay, starts 8 threads on the topic in the past 3 months and contributes manically to any other thread on the topic. So, I ask again, why are you so obsessed with homosexuals? Hell, I'm a screaming faggot and even I'm not that interested in the subject.
You are deliberately ignoring history. Polygamy and same sex marriage have existed throughout human history and you know it. I'm not sure why you have chosen this particular tact of parroting a propaganda organization and using their rhetoric. NOM undoubtedly were the people who came up with using the word "redefine".

Now you are lying.
You got your new talking point right from NOM's website.
You are parroting an organization that specifically exists to spread fear and untruths about gays and lesbians. Furthermore you are doing it deliberately and maliciously in an attempt to play both sides of the fence. This is insulting to everyone's intelligence. This is purely so you can oppose same sex marriage while pretending it has nothing to do with your religious beliefs.
I can respect a person saying they oppose same sex marriage because of their religious beliefs. I cannot respect a person who plays a game where they claim they do not oppose same sex marriage but rather they oppose the "redefinition" of marriage. That is simply a childish game they play when they want to fool people into believing that this isn't a religious issue.
I thought after you vote once, it cuts you off.
I ask because I've seen some poll results in the past that made no sense given the fairly even makeup of DP.
When it comes to this subject I will make the comparison that my left wing friends seem to always make with blacks and gays ........gays are treated like royalty compared to what the blacks had to endure.......
And black people had it a lot easier than Jews in Eastern Europe during the 30's and 40's. That doesn't really tell us much of anything.
well you people on the left always use the comparison between blacks and gays so I thought I might try it once..........
Yeah. It wasn't very effective. You get points for effort, though.
When it comes to this subject I will make the comparison to the trials and tribulations that blacks had to endure by my liberal friends and I say gays treated and I say hell no........gays are treated like royalty compared to what the blacks had to endure.......
Consider where the criticism is coming from I think my point is made and it is you can't compare race with people identified by their sexual preference.
so basically you are admitting that you arent taking the word at face value but making up your own opinion and definition of what the word oppressed means. Got it!
Basically its like you saying Halle Berry has a very dark skin color

some one comes along and corrects you and says "no she doesnt"
but then you say, she does compared to carrot top! LOL

Funny. To bad the fact remains they are still oppressed and have been killed, assaulted, abandoned, fired, discriminated against, disowned by friends and family all for simply being gay. Many are afraid to let it be known they are gay and they currently dont have equal rights.
Actually you can make that comparison. There are clear parallels between the legal issues currently facing gay people and those that faced black people in the 60's. The scale is certainly different, but the legal issues are the same. I fleshed this out in this thread several pages back.
Well thank you........I am glad you admit it.......
What word? all those things are blown way out of proportion and if anyone commits crimes against gays they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.............
Lert me give you and example..............A known gay man gets fired because he is incompetent. The first thing he does is go to the EEO and complain that he was fired because he is gay when his gayness had nothing to do with it
You're glad that I've admitted that there are clear parallels between the legal situation that gay people are currently in and that of black people prior to the civil rights movement? Okay.
I think you know what I meant...........I am using the same lame argument you on the left use but in truth there is really no comparison into what blacks had to endure and what gays endure.......
