NP... you do realize that you can no longer go around and say that SSM has been defeated every time it's been put up for a vote, right?
You get more and more disgusted with the American people ... wanting equality?
In YOUR opinion. In my opinion, the things I'm seeing are demonstrating that the country is BEING saved.
See how that works?
You do know that SSM couples receive no Federal Benefits right?
both you and Tigger are wrong-its a minor issue that has gotten far more attention than it deserves. in the great scheme of things its a pimple on a soon to erupt volcano of financial malaise
Yes I understand that CC........You do realize that the Federal Gov. does not recognize SSM and that these states that have approve it will end up in the SCOTUS for the final decision on the issue.

You realize that has jack **** to do with what I said?
So how does it feel to know that the tide has turned and more and more gays are going to be getting married? Just think, it could be 2013 when SCOTUS rules DOMA illegal. You could live to see a gay wave in this country!
Kinda like gun issues? All that overblown hysteria over a tool to extend your penis?
you ought to stick to supporting gay marriage rather than pretending to be a psychologist. Real constitutional rights are more important than ones that may or may not be recognized by the Ninth and may or may not apply to the states via the 14th
Actually this brings up a good point I want to make.I'm trying to understand this whole thing. Do gay people want the same benefits or the title of marriage?
Tell us again how repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell will lead to a mass exodus from the military and how Washington state will never approve same sex marriage at the ballot box. How much you wanna bet on DOMA when it has already been struck down by several appeals courts and the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on it next session?

I disagree. It's an example of the country moving in a more positive direction. It's not the whole thing... nor did I say it was.
And I don't buy into the whole "the economy is falling, the economy is falling" stuff, turtle. I think you know that. The economy may not be booming, but it's not ready for the trash compacter either. Not even close.
That issue has not been resolved my left wing friend....There are many absentee ballots to be counted.........I wouldn'y count my chickens before they hatch if I were you...

SO basically you think your opinion is more important than others. Somehow I disagree.

I dont think a groups civil rights are a minor issue.
To be honest with you I don't care about DOMA.......Those 32 states that have consitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman is more important.

Come on, NP. Face it... it's passed. I was thinking about you, last night, when I heard. Just accept it.
the New Deal did not destroy the economy either just as smoking dozen cartons of cigarettes normally cause lung cancer alone. But what we see is an accentuation of the problems that will ultimately destroy the economy. Each time you smoke another carton you get closer to the critical mass that starts the malignancy.
I realize those who see social freedom-abortion, the repeal of anti sodomy laws, and gay marriage-as extremely important may vote for a candidate that supports these things EVEN if they understand that his economic policies and judicial picks hasten the destruction. What is silly are those who vote dem on abortion or gay rights pretend that the stuff they don't care about is important to their choices
I would agree but these are mainstream civil rights that apply to everyone. NOw I support gay marriage, SSM marriage and I think gays ought to serve in the military, but this is a minor issue to most americans.
