No, I am not assuming anything.
I am explicitly saying that there is no rationale behind the people who don't want gay marriage. None whatsoever. Only bigotry.
Now, in their mind, they can justify their bigotry in a hundred ways. Bigots always do.
Well how nice for them?:roll:
Forget the fact that they would rather marry the person they love. Not unlike yourself, I'm sure. No matter how much you all like to say that this is nothing like anti-miscegenation laws, you are wrong. It is a lot like them, unless you want to show me where the law requires that marriages must result in children or that the two people involved have to be able to have children.
Now, if the government decided that, yes, marriage is for the good of children, and that is why it exists, then you might have a case against gay marriage. Of course, the government has never actually said this, and doing so could easily put other people's marriages in question. I'm thinking especially about transgendered marriages, old people who want to get married, people who have some form of sterilization, and certain handicapped people.
However, since the government is in the business of giving special entitlements and privileges to people who get married without any care to whether or not those two people can actually produce offspring, then it really isn't fair for them to say that one group of people isn't eligible just because they can't produce offspring.
I would like to marry 2 or 3 women but I can't just like gays can't marry someone of the same sex...........If they are allowed to change the law why can't I?

Go ahead and try to change the law.
Anyone else notice that since this is DC, gay-marriage was just taken out of the "states rights" arena?
It's now a Federal matter.

The government says marriage is good for the family...It stabalizes it and helps with the rearing of children.......

No reason at all. Go for it and I'd be right behind you. Polygamy should be legal too.
There's nothing that prevents gays from getting married. Civil unions have been around a long time, and the commitment shouldn't be any different if they're serious about it.
They just insist on doing it in your face and forcing you to recognize it as MARRIAGE. It's like a gay parade; you always have those few that have to come out on their hands and knees with dog collars and leashes, or dressed up like Liza Minelli. They just want to get in your face about it.
That's what everything boils down to.
What's your point?

Polygamy is not nearly as conductive of a thriving economy as the nuclear family is, so I'm inclined to oppose it.
You are soooo cheap.

You're probably thinking of some political initiatives you supported a while back as a member of the democrat party.Separate but equal?
Where have I heard that before... it's oddly familiar...

That is of course wrong as anyone can see in looking through the voting record - but yes, way off track and irrelevant to forum members reminiscing about their early days in the Democrat party.It's a bit unfair to lay blame for those laws on Democrats. More accurately, it wasn't a party-line issue, it was a geographic issue. Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans were both vehemently against integrating the school system.
