I have a sudden urge to puke.
Bigotry IS a life choice.
And we allow you to marry another bigot and beat her fat ass.
I have a sudden urge to puke.
Is anyone here who was married last week still married?
So? If a brother or an amigo wanna vote for Obama because he's half black then that's their prerogative the same way it's yours that you wouldn't because he's half black.
wtf does this have to do with anything ?....strawman bullshit again....its all you pinheads got...
What was the alternative? A RINO Mormon douche bag with a bunch of greenbacks who cheats on his taxes? Did you see some of the fucked up shit he did to Massachusetts as governor?
Same thing....totally irrelevant to the topic.....change the subject....the tactic or losers....

Yes...I feel it....
Ahhh yes.....people do change, just a little background, nothing to do with same sex marriage but interesting.....
The removal of homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses was not triggered by some scientific breakthrough. There was no new fact or set of facts that stimulated this major change. Rather, it was the simple reality that gay people started to kick up a fuss. Only about 55% of the APA members who voted, favored the change.
So all the people who had this terrible “illness” were “cured” overnight – by a vote!
According to the American Psychiatric Association, until 1974 homosexuality was a mental illness. Freud had alluded to homosexuality numerous times in his writings, and had concluded that paranoia and homosexuality were inseparable. Other psychiatrists wrote copiously on the subject, and homosexuality was “treated” on a wide basis. There was little or no suggestion within the psychiatric community that homosexuality might be conceptualized as anything other than a mental illness that needed to be treated. And, of course, homosexuality was listed as a mental illness in DSM-II.
Today...about 40 years later......its almost normal.....and what is claimed to make it all acceptable.....homosexuals are born homosexual....and that makes all the difference.....
Guess they think people can't possibly be born with a mental illness....Its an interesting history......
Changing norms....
Some men want to live and dress as women
Some women as men,
Some teachers "fall in love" with their students and have sex with them
Some men want to have sex with willing or even unwilling underage children
Some men want to have sex with each other
Some women want to have sex with each other
Some men want to have sex with sheep
Some women want to have sex with mules
Just changing norms.....
Let me break it down for ya Marriage is a Biblical institution no matter what kind of semantics you engage in, Homosexuality is an abomination before God, the Creator, hence the two do not go together.
I disagree with the abomination thing.... "God" created homosexuality.
That is nonsense when was that created.

Along with the rest of the world. Likely the same time he created Hetrosexuality.
Biblical? Bullshit...the concept of marriage predates Christianity by thousands of years.
More "try hard," less rhetoric...
Thanks for your understanding.
wow I didn't mention abortions or pregnancy stick to the topic of their health

Health Risks of the Homosexual Lifestyle
The current media portrayal of gay and lesbian relationships is that they are as healthy, stable and loving as heterosexual marriages — or even more so.1 Medical associations are promoting somewhat similar messages.2 Sexual relationships between members of the same sex, however, expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to extreme risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span. There are five major distinctions between gay and heterosexual relationships, with specific medical consequences. They are:
Levels of Promiscuity read more
Similar extremes of promiscuity have not been documented among lesbians. However, an Australian study found that 93 percent of lesbians reported having had sex with men, and lesbians were 4.5 times more likely than heterosexual women to have had more than 50 lifetime male sex partners. Any degree of sexual promiscuity carries the risk of contracting STDs.
Physical Health read more
Male Homosexual Behavior
Female Homosexual Behavior
Common sexual practices among gay men lead to numerous STDs and physical injuries, some of which are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population. Lesbians are also at higher risk for STDs. In addition to diseases that may be transmitted during lesbian sex, a study at an Australian STD clinic found that lesbians were three to four times more likely than heterosexual women to have sex with men who were high-risk for HIV.
Mental Health read more
It is well established that there are high rates of psychiatric illnesses, including depression, drug abuse, and suicide attempts, among gays and lesbians. This is true even in the Netherlands, where gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB) relationships are far more socially acceptable than in the U.S. Depression and drug abuse are strongly associated with risky sexual practices that lead to serious medical problems.
Life Span read more
The only epidemiological study to date on the life span of gay men concluded that gay and bisexual men lose up to 20 years of life expectancy.
Monogamy read more
Monogamy, meaning long-term sexual fidelity, is rare in GLB relationships, particularly among gay men. One study reported that 66 percent of gay couples reported sex outside the relationship within the first year, and nearly 90 percent if the relationship lasted five years.
In Summary
It is clear that there are serious medical consequences to same-sex behavior. Identification with a GLB community appears to lead to an increase in promiscuity, which in turn leads to a myriad of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and even early death. Youth should be warned of the undeniable health risks associated with a homosexual lifestyle.
Really, proof?
lol, you need proof to know whether or not the concept of marriage predates Christianity, now that's fuck'n hilarious...
What in our laws have to do with the bible? Are we a theocracy?
A major misconception many Americans have about our history is from whence American law was derived. Many people think that it is derived from the Judeo-Christian Bible. In actuality, American law is a carryover from our colonial days when we were ruled by English Common Law. We broke away from England but continued using that law system, which had been developed and continuously refined for over a thousand years. The Catholic Encyclopedia agrees with this assessment.
A basic axiom to remember is that in the history of the world, as people from different cultures mingle through trade, travel, immigration or war, we pick up pieces of other peoples' culture and religions and incorporate them in our own culture. This evolutionary process is so slow that it is barely noticeable.
Israeli law and religion was derived to some extent from the Egyptians, Babylonians and Assyrians.
Common law is that which is based on custom and usage of the common people as opposed to law imposed from above by a higher source, such as a monarch, dictator or religious leader. It is a slow process that is always adjusting itself to the times.
Our U.S. Constitution sets up an organization for our government and guarantees certain rights to our states and individual rights for our people. In the application of our laws there is lots of wiggle space for our courts to maneuver. The courts must stay within the framework of the law, the precedence set by previous courts and must take into account the merits of each case before making a decision. This decision becomes part of the precedence.
Religion has affected our laws down through the years only in terms of custom and usage. Religions may have certain rules and regulations that are in effect within that religion but not on the rest of the community -- our Constitution is very clear about this.
The word God does not appear in the Constitution and the word religion appears only once in the main body -- Article 6, section 3 reads, " …but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." The First Amendment clearly establishes freedom to practice any religion you desire. Between these two and our history surrounding the writing of the Constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled that a wall of separation exists between church and state. But this continues to be challenged by some of the most conservative, but not all, religions.
Because we have a federated system, we live under two sets of law: state and federal. State courts manage cases that apply to state laws only and appeals may go up to the state Supreme Court only. When there is a conflict between the two, the federal laws usually take precedence and the federal courts assume jurisdiction. The last appeal can go to the federal Supreme Court, which has the final and ultimate say.
Interestingly, Louisiana is the only state which does not follow English Common Law. They basically follow the Napoleonic Code from the days when they were owned by a France ruled by Napoleon. It was sold to us by Napoleon as part of the Louisiana Purchase.
