What's wrong with gay marriage?

tomdavis · Mar 27, 2013

Government should be small and stay the hell out of people's lives. That includes marriage. What consenting adults do in private is none of my business, the government's business or your business either.

Government should get out of the marriage business and stay out. Let adults make any private legal arrangements they want.

Explaining gay relationships to children is not difficult. My wife and I have had that discussion with our children. They get it. No problem.

Quote from Max E. Pad:

As a libertarian, i dont think the government should have anything to do with marriage to begin with.

If two people want to put a ring on each others finger, and have peter pan tell them they are married, no one should be able to take that away from them.

It has a certain meaning to some people, and a different one to others.

Gays are making a mistake in trying to get everyone else to redefine marriage (a biblical term), when they should be simply insisting on the same treatment in the eyes of the law. Gays should have equal treatment under the law.

I agree with this ^. The issue is why can't they just have civil unions with the same exact benefits of a married couple. The reason is because they are spiteful and want to rub it in everyone's face. Marriage has existed for a very long time, long before this country even existed, marriage is between a man and women.. has been for centuries. So really what is the big fucking deal if they can't call it marriage but it works the same way?

Also I agree that, ideally, the govt shouldn't be involved anyway. Especially NOT the federal govt, let the States sort it out.

With all the other problems this nation has, why does anyone care about this silly shit anyway (unless they're gay)?

I say let 'em pay the marriage penalty on their taxes like the rest of us. Right now they mostly live like shacked-up DINKs.

You should form a company selling merchandises to the gays and lesbians. The profit must be good then....

I agree wholeheartedly, the funny thing is that radical left wing losers like RCG trader have convinced themselves that all conservatives care about is social issues when conservatives have only been bitching about one major point the entire time, the economy, when it boils down to it that is the only commonality.

Yet Obama, aka the messiah, has literally spent his entire time in office pushing various inconsequential social issues instead of worrying about the economy, the only bill that lefties can claim was all about creating jobs was the stimulus, all it did was create more government, and whether or not the stimulus worked is highly questionable.

Other than that obamas focus is on gay marriage, gun control, bills that supposedly protect womens rigts, cap and trade, solyndra, blocking keystone xl rrich people paying more taxes, clean energy, etc..... obama doesnt give a rats ass about the economy, he just bounces around from one liberal issue to the next, like a flag in a windstorm, he hasnt taken a leadership role on anything, his whole presidency is about demagoguing whatever issue the media comes up with.

Quote from JamesL:

Just like the interracial marriage ruling some 40+ yrs ago, takes a while to accept but soon enough, no one really notices anymore.

We still notice......

yea... my son had a friend with two dads in kindegarten.
No problem.
Its not the relationship concept that is the issue for kids.
its the behavior.

The boy had a birthday party at the bowling alley. My son went to the party.

We he got home I was sort of amused.

He started to ask question like where is the mom?
Is it normally to have 2 dads.
He even said something like why does the one guy act like a mom.

Now I knew this guy.
While the other dad acted like a totally normal guy.
I knew him from coaching baseball, the second dad was a flamer.
He did really turn his act down around the kids but he was still not a normal acting guy.

Big flamer during the day.
Small flame at night at the kids baseball games.

What do you tell your kid when he asks if that is normal.
I know one thing. I don't lie to my kids.

So the conversation ends for about 5 or 6 years.
about a year ago... at a soccer game... my son asked me a question. I said something like know because my son had to do something else then another kid something... then mikey said that is so gay... then looks at me and says... no offense.

this had been the running joke at the school.
they would say... that is so gay... and then look at someone and say no offense.

I thought that sort of summed up kids and p.c.

Really? I'm trying to think how it will affect my life if 2 fags or dykes get hitched.
I know several of each. And I can't say they would make any better or worse parents or spouses than the straight people I know.

I don't really know but the people who are for gay marriage seem to be the same people who claimed that HusseinCare was going to make healthcare cheaper and now even the mainstream media is reporting that HusseinCare will increase healthcare costs by 32%.

The United States has seen enough of Obama's experiments absolutely blow-up in ours faces. The only reason for optimism is that Obama is rapidly heading towards lame duck status and Obama won't have as much power to destroy the country.

Kind of reminds me of when i was growing up, youd call someone a fag but it wasnt meant as a gay slur, just what people on my hockey team or at school called each other.

South park sums it up pretty good in this video.
