New Hampshire State #6 for Gay Marriage

[Agnapostate]

Indeed. Why did you bring that up out of the blue? Unless hell is an exclusively Christian concept...I guess it could be in terms of how they affect the conditions of those around them...

It is an aberrant lifestyle.

Great argument. Well, I'm convinced. Those damn fags! They're gonna go to Hell! How do I know...I can't really articulate it but I just know!

The sad thing is, that really is the argument you get when you back these people into a corner.

 

[Pyrite]

And who said I was Christian?

If not, then on what basis do you consider homosexuality "abberant"?

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

I could be Muslim.

Speaking of gay marriage...one of my good friends from residency, her wife just had a baby!

Baby, mom, and mom are doing well.

Congrats to the 2 moms! Did they have a boy or a girl?

Nah, Shrill-da. Even bin Laden isn't this bad.

Which mom donated the sperm?

Again.. if this were passing of government recognition of civil unions for all couples.. I would have no problem.... the redefinition of marriage is where I have the problem

I have a hard time believing you, they tried that with an "everything but marriage" here in Seattle, and they shot cried foul, so now the mayor just said hell with it and is pushing for full marriage. Seattle ... well ... it will pass soon. The advocates gave people who claimed that a shot ... and they still whined that it was "too much" ...

"We lost, but let's keep voting until we win."

Um ... that's how Democracy works.

 

[Fraulein Hilda]

Good, then if and when you win, we can keep voting until and unless you lose.

 

[KittenKoder]

Good, then if and when you win, we can keep voting until and unless you lose.

As long as they are willing to get the petitions to place something on the ballot, that's how it works.

 

[Coloradomtnman]

I could be Muslim.

HA! You could be, but then again so could Obama!

 

[Coloradomtnman]

Good, then if and when you win, we can keep voting until and unless you lose.

Welcome to democracy!

Ha ha ha ha haaaaaa! Its coming! Gay marriage! You can't stop change, conservatives! You'll just have to live in your America is #1 fantasy world with married gay folks, or will it be that America won't be #1 for you anymore. I guess you could move to some other really conservative country like.... Well, I can't think of any.

Can I just say that the amazing amount of sarcasm in this post is, to a conservative, pretty damned offensive. There is no reason we should have to move to another country any more than any liberal should and not all of us have any issue at all with change or gay marriage. The obvious derision that both sides tend to spout off, like this post or like Frauline's saying that homosexuality is an "abberent lifestyle" is what leads to screaming wars and the conversation stopping dead with neither side bothering to actually listen to the other.

That being said...Good on NH! In my mind, this whole issue is ridiculous. Any couple that wants to go sign a contract at the JOP and have some sort of ceremony to celebrate that contract should be able to so long as they are both above the legal age of consent. Arguing over whether those are "marriages" or "civil unions" is just parsing terminology. Granted churches have the right to simply say "Nope, we're not performing your ceremony," (they do it to straight people all the time, try getting a Catholic priest to marry you without converting!) but that is a religious institution not a legal one and ALL couples should be granted the same legal rights regardless of gender.

Just my 0.02$ worth.

He is repeating what a lot of conservatives said about people who disagreed with the Iraq war ... pot and kettle ... and all.

Well... Despite the controversy, I'm glad to see the progress in New Hampshire.
