And you keep ignoring that in 2014 there are various legal proceedings that require recognition of a family unit.
Call it what you want, the underlying point stands.
The ultimate cop out, just declare the other side has sinister intentions and ignore any actual good they're doing.
Politician actions change to reflect changing opinions of their constituents? Well, I never!
So why not sooner?
National, legalized ss marriage is inevitable.
Me?
I think marriage is silly. Being legally pressured to stay with one person for the rest of your life, imo, causes more misery then joy.
A relationship is not stronger because you are married...it's just more difficult to get out of.
And people should be free (and, in fact, encouraged) to leave any romantic relationship the second they want to.
I don't want to be with the wrong person AND the last thing I want is my partner staying with me mostly because it's too much work to leave.
Having said that...any two sane, consenting adults should be able to legally marry.
And you keep ignoring the fact that I don't want the government to recognize/regulate marriage. Even among Christians there are differences on who can get married and divorced. Up until Henry VIII marriage was regulated by social groups (i.e. families, churches, etc.) That's what it should return to.
"Bigots" aren't what I am talking about. But, since we are on the subject, aren't you exhibiting your own bigotry by not tolerating that type of thought and speech? That is exactly what the first amendment seeks to prevent witg respect to the government. The government cannot tell people what to say or believe. That is absolutely essential for the voting process to remain fair.
No, it's not bigotry to be intolerant of bigotry. And yes, the KKK are bigots. When you deny others equal rights for no other reason than you don't like a you don't like a group, you're a bigot. The KKK has a long history of harming others.
1.)Yes, they are. That is why you are issued a marriage license.
2.)To people of the big 3 religions, there is no such thing as a nonreligious marriage.
Oh don't fool yourself into thinking the SSM push is purely about civil rights. This is primarily a push by liberal democrats to distract from the President's failed economic, health care and foreign policies. If this was about civil rights, they would have done it decades ago. They are only pushing it now because they think the issue will get them some votes.

1.) nope they arent endorsing it they are simply protecting rights.
endorse
: to publicly or officially say that you support or approve of (someone or something)
: to publicly say that you like or use (a product or service) in exchange for money
: to write your name on the back of (a check)
unless you mean it in some obscure way?
2.) well since im one of those people that is factually false lol
once again the fact remains religion has nothing to do with legal marriage, its 100% meaningless to it and equal rights.

LMAO please repeat this dishonest, inane, hyperbolic "POST" as much as possible. I'm positive that anybody who is educated, honest and objective will laugh just as hard as i did and NONE of them will take it seriously. thanks that was hilarious!

That is OK. Since there is no law against Atheists marrying, religion is not a necessity for a lawful marriage. Surely you would consider a male-female atheists marriage real...right?

Depends.
God didn't say a man will marry a woman. Not a man tgat believes in me will marry a woman tgat believes in me.
BUT if they marry after an invalid divorce or some other way violate God's will, then I would say I don't view it as a valid marriage. That is their business though and no one with beliefs like mine should be required to participate or validate or recognize such marriages as such. That is why the government should be out of the marriage business all together.

Which is why I am against the government endorsing any marriages as they are a creation of God in most religions.
No it isn't. No law protects equal access for bigots. You may believe what you want. Say what you want. But equality under the law says you cannot discriminate for reasons of race, religion, or gender. Not bigotry. I can't stop you from eating in my burger joint. But I don't have to ask you to speak. Apples and oranges.

1.)No obscure meanings necessary. By issuing a license the government entity endorses the legitimacy of the act.
2.)The big 3 religions believe God created marriage with the union of Adam and Eve.
