- Male + female = the right combination / For some folks, it might take the "drive-thru" in Las Vegas to get it done and over with when too much holiness is always pulling in opposite directions.

- I agree with the people who think the LGBT group (a tiny group at that) should come up with their own name for living together so they can enjoy sex without the responsibility of giving birth to children or just plain immoral acts of lasciviousness.
Don't dirty the God given word that represents the sanctity of marriage, please. You were not created to just have sexual parties and then go on to the next partner after you get tire of the other sex partner. Hey, their is your term...We are "SameSexed" or maybe "Partners is Sex". Ya, I got SAMESEXED this year. Now we can do unnatural things together and feel free from guilt.!
I don't care how much hatred the LBGT shows toward Christians and organizations that are Christians, you can terrorize anyone you want but know this, there is a consequences to your acts. Don't dirty our "MARRIAGE" name up. This is an institution put in place by YOUR's and my Creator. Remember, your ultimate battle is not with Christians, it is with God. Christians do not hate you as you hate us and you need to understand this. Do what you want to do, just leave the word MARRIAGE Alone. - Reply to this comment

PICK A NEW WORD!
=======
I'm all for it. A new word for for consenting adults that wishes to have their relationship recognized by the state.
If you want to be married, take it to a church.
*****************************************************
That's just the point. Gay couples SHOULDN'T HAVE to "pick a new word". The "church", any church, does NOT own the word "marriage". Many hetrosexual couples get "married" at the Court House or by a JP.
They have the same LEGAL rights as somebody who was married in a church. Being LEGALLY married is not the same as having your "marriage" recognized by any specific church or religion. Some faiths do not recognize a "marriage" if it involves people of different faiths. Being "married" in the "eyes of the church" or in the "eyes of God" has NOTHING to do with it being LEGAL. - Reply to this comment
- I am a married heterosexual woman and am ashamed of the denial by others of the basic rights to another human, another American. If rights should be granted or denied by votes, we would still have slavery in the south. The majority doesn't make it right, it makes it popular.

- It's all about superiority. The "better than" mind set. Sure, some people say it's ok to give gays the same "legal" rights but just don't call it "marriage" because they want "real" married people to be considered "better" than those in a gay relationship. GET OVER IT! Just because a couple has a legal "marriage license" it does NOT mean that the "marriage" has to be recognized by any particular church. Your religious beliefs are your right but you do NOT have the right to impose those beliefs upon others! You also do NOT have the right to determine what you want to be "socially acceptable". What are you afraid of? That your kids might turn out "gay"? That they might make gay friends or find out that most gay people are NOT the perverts and deviants society would like to make them out to be? There are perverts and deviants that are heterosexual as well as homosexual. I am NOT gay but I have known several gay couples, professional people, educated and who have been in a LONG TERM, committed relationship for many years. In my experience most of them are more loyal and faithful to their "partner" than many who are in heterosexual relationships. So where is the loss of "morality" in that? I have the perfect solution. If you don't believe in gay marriage: Don't marry a gay person! Problem solved!

Most laws state that marriage is between a man and a woman.

So? That would be like saying that hunting licenses are only for white people, 7eleven.
It's not our fault you don't understand the intent of the 14th Amendment. - Reply to this comment
- These defenders of traditional marriage must be proud when they go home at night, knowing they're taking their place in history beside the KKK and The National Organization Against Women's Suffrage in their noble fight to deny other people equal rights without a single logical argument to support their views.

- Gay rights proponents say that homosexuality is not a choice; rather it is genetic. If that is so, then there must be a gay gene that is recessive and that gets passed down from one generation to the next through carriers of this gay gene having sex with opposite sex people. If gay rights proponents had the strength of their convictions they would admit that by attempting to remove the stigma associated with gays getting married to each other they are making it less likely that gays will marry and have children with opposite sex people. This means that it will become even less likely that gays will pass their gay gene onto the next generation. The result is inescapable; legalizing gay marriage will reduce the number of gay children born each year and those who favor gay marriage are doing more to eliminate gays from society than anything that opponents of gay marriage could possibly do.

Why do you claim to speak for cows on the consent issue when the truth is that you don't understand cows?
Why such outright lies?

Are you claiming that you can converse with cattle? - Reply to this comment

Prove a cow cannot consent?

It can't talk. QED.
Did you really think your cow consented to your advances? - Reply to this comment
