Look, from this thread it is very clear that there is a wide difference of opinion on gay marriage, homosexuality in general, and whether it is a normal or abnormal human condition.
When societies face such differences they vote and the majority opinion is accepted, or dealt with, by all.
So, lets let america vote on whether the nation should sanction gay unions as marriages, allow them but call them something else, or ban them totally.
let the people speak.
whether you comprehend it or not, all of our rights in this country were originally established by majority vote. We may say they were "God-given" but we made them valid by majority vote.
Lets do the same on the gay issues and put the issue to bed (poor choice of words) for a while.
The same sex marriage supporters claim a majority of the people in the country support it. If that is true, why would they be opposed to having a vote. If they hold the majority they claim, wouldn't that guarantee a win for them.
because they know that they are not in a majority. prop 8 in california proved that
LOL- are you ignorant or just stupid? Or maybe both?
Prop 8 passed in 2008.
Since that time voters have voted in favor same gender marriage 3 times.
Now most Americans favor same gender marriage
