Sorry I wasn't aware I had to present you with a bibliography.... I'm not going to. The statistics are well documented. Look them up yourself or stfu.
If by documented you mean they don't exist, than yeah, sure thing buddy.

Do some independent research. They do exist. And Lambtron.... get out of here if you have nothing useful to say.

It's scary to think you think tolerance is scary. Why do you think that? And I've done a little reading on your claim and it's true, but you don't mention that the study was done in the 1980s and early 90s. And since then HIV deaths have seen a dramatic decrease. STDs run rampant among heterosexual couples too. That alone is not a good enough reason to deny people basic human rights to share a loving bond with someone. It's disturbing you want to take that away from people you don't know over have any connection to whatsoever. How exactly does them getting married affect you personally in a negative way?
edit 2: and this from the article, note the bold:
It is essential to note that the life expectancy of any population is a descriptive and not a prescriptive mesaure.5 Death is a product of the way a person lives and what physical and environmental hazards he or she faces everyday. It cannot be attributed solely to their sexual orientation or any other ethnic or social factor. If estimates of an individual gay and bisexual man's risk of death is truly needed for legal or other purposes, then people making these estimates should use the same actuarial tables that are used for all other males in that population. Gay and bisexual men are included in the construction of official population-based tables and therefore these tables for all males are the appropriate ones to be used.
In summary, the aim of our work was to assist health planners with the means of estimating the impact of HIV infection on groups, like gay and bisexual men, not necessarily captured by vital statistics data and not to hinder the rights of these groups worldwide. Overall, we do not condone the use of our research in a manner that restricts the political or human rights of gay and bisexual men or any other group.

They believe whether gay or straight a marriage without God is not technically a marriage. So it makes sense to me why they won't recognize gay marriage. Seems to me this is an attack on Christianity more than it is about establishing rights. They could just use the term "civil union" like many other countries with all the same rights as married couples and not offend the Christian groups. Um, marriage isn't a christian institution sir. You can get married in plenty of places beyond a christian church. This ruling says that 2 consenting adults of the same gender can be legally married. That means a judge performs the nuptials (or a captain i suppose^^) Since marriage is a legal institution,-basically a legal right adults have to get legally married- not allowing a certain percentage of the population to exercise this right because of something that is biological determined (just like your skin color) is a violation of the 14th amendment. The precedent for this is the well known supreme court case Brown Vs Board of ED, which ruled that separate but equal (aka civil union and marriage or black school and white school or gay marriage and straight marriage) is unconstitutional. Except it's not a violation of the 14th amendment, which states equal protection for all. As it is now in most states, all male citizens have the right to marry a woman. Gay people have this exact same right. The problem here is, marriage isn't something the government should be interfering with in the first place. I assume the right to marry women is also afforded to women, yes? ...No. You can only marry someone of the opposite sex in the states I am referring to. The point I was making is that everybody, regardless of sexuality, has that right. It is therefore not violating the 14th amendment. However, as I have explained, I do not agree with the U.S.'s current policy on marriage.
How is that not blatantly sexist? A man can marry woman, so why can't a woman marry a woman? That's literally a right determined by your genitals.

Sure thing. And what do you know the only sites currently reporting on the issue are
catholiceducation.com godandscience.org sodahead.com
(Such paragons of our news media right?)
Or perhaps you're trying to argue on the bases that the suicide rates are higher among LGBT people? (Hint, that's not a genetic defect, it's because of how bigots like you treat them)

That's for HIV positive homosexual people, not the entire population of homosexuals. I've seen those studies, and I've read the supposed "reports" by sites such as LifeSite, pretty fucking retarded, lmao. Why don't you go back to watching Fox News.

These words ought to be immortalised on your mantle so that one day your grandkids can look at your archaic beliefs and say: "You were retarded as fuck old man", just as Americans look back at their ancestor's views towards blacks today and find their commonly racist views disgusting.

It's pretty awesome that I get warned for my views.... It just goes to show you that these forums are not for rational discussion, but for the putting down of beliefs differing from the majority. You know what scares me. The end of rational discussion. Good bye.

It wasn't your views, it's that you were making stuff up without providing any credible evidence, and then telling people to shut the hell up or get out if they didn't agree with you.

I agree, it is pretty awesome that you got warned. These forums are better than most at facilitating rational discussion. The problem with your comments are that they are unsubstantiated and misleading drivel. I doesn't really surprise me though, looking through your post history.

So it's constitutional to vote for gay marriage, but unconstitutional to have a vote to ban gay marriage(cali)? That makes no sense what so ever.
|
Well that's good. I think the vast majority of forum-goers here can agree that this is a step forward and a step towards progress. Even if it conflicts with your personal beliefs, you cannot just go and outlaw everything you disagree with, and I think that it is a good step in the right direction.
However, I do wonder if we are setting certain precedents for more radical changes. It is very possible that these changes could help lead to more radical changes in the future, such as polygamy. What do people here think about issues like that?

Nothing wrong with it if all parties are consenting.

Yes, because discrimination is unconstitutional, whereas equality is constitutional.

Fair enough. I am pretty indifferent to polygamy myself, but that could make for some interesting family dynamics.

Communities have the right to determine what they believe is acceptable (legal) or not (illegal). If you're a minority then you must conform or move to a new community. That's one of the reasons why the individual states have such freedom (which is being taken away/given up more and more every year...). If people in California think it's a good idea, but people in Arkansas don't, that's ok. We do this all the time:
1. arbitrarily created age of adulthood 2. arbitrarily created age of consent 3. arbitrarily created drinking age 4. regulations on polygamy (an activity between 2/more consenting adults)
I don't think gay marriage is any different from those 4 issues, and there is very little dispute about the government's right to regulate them.
Sometimes, the view of the majority is unacceptable (unconstitutional), and the larger government should step in. I don't think this is one of those cases. I don't think if you are against gay marriage that you are a homophobe or a gay basher or you hate gay people.
