 . As far as the subject goes, I think it's ridiculous that so many people are actively trying to promote the prop. It seems silly that even though there's this huge economic depression, people still feel the need to tell my sister that she can't get married, it's actually kind of funny.If it's a problem for you, don't get one and don't go to a church that supports gay marriage. As far as changing the word to something else, that's BS. Might as well go back to restaurants having a black section and a white section, they're the same thing, just called different. Discrimination just seems so pointless, why put effort into something as silly as that when there's so much else going on. Discrimination is deciding to be upset for no reason, I know I personally don't like being upset, so no idea why someone would choose to do so. | ||

Adoption: Gay couples are just as capable of raising children than anyone else. As far as them making their kids gay, that's just ignorant. The only reason their kids would be more likely to be 'gay' is that they would be less scared to 'come out of the closet' because their parents were gay. Also keep in mind that people used to look down on interracial marriages. A black man and white woman can't raise a kid, the child would be so confused and different. It's all BS, we already went through this discrimination crap and clearly decided it was wrong, yet here we are again. Some people just can't learn from their mistakes. As far as it affecting religion. It's up to a church to decide who they marry. There are countless branches of Christianity that all differ from one another, this is just another subject they can differ on. | ||

Like once they reach puberty do they automatically feel attracted to the same sex by instinct, or do they consciously make the choice to be gay? Born that way, but it's not like they know from child hood. It takes time for them to realize it. Just like it takes time for straight people to decide that girls are not yucky anymore. Also I BELIEVE, not sure, that everyone is actually bi, their chemistry just leans them to one sex. I'm straight and a lot more attracted to women, but I can also find some men attractive. I think just about everyone else can say the same. Edit: As far as CDR's post says, we have to keep in mind that children from 'abnormal' marriages are possibly having problems because of society's view on their life style. It might not necessarily mean the parents or the family system is a problem, it might be that society is the problem. I'm assuming the polygamy tests used were not in a closed testing environment as there were children involved, so society would have had some influence. | ||

It all depends on your belief and there have been countless experiments acting as evidence to either claim. | ||

Amends the Florida constitution to protect marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife and provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent shall be valid or recognized. Yes 4,632,316 62% No 2,832,236 38% Woot! | ||

If it is accepted that marriage (or at least some form of civil union if the term marriage is considered reserved for only a man and a woman for whatever reason - religious or historical) should be allowed between any two consenting adults.... Should marriage be allowed between two consenting siblings. There are obviously strong arguments against this for heterosexual siblings (much stronger than against gay marriage), because if any children were to be born to two siblings they would obviously be much more likely to have genetic defects. However, for a homosexual incestual relationship, since there is no chance of offspring, ought there be legal recognition (or even permission) of the union of two brothers or two sisters (or cousins etc.) if they love each other and are consenting adults... As far as I can tell, all the arguments in favour of gay marriage could also be used in favour of incestual marriage. Yet the idea of incest seems morally wrong. Of course, that could just be the conditioning of a society afraid of the genetic consequences of children born from an incestual relationship, which doesn't' really apply in this case. So... anyone have any thoughts on this? | ||
