Default So let's vote on same sex marriage

Private poll, pick one that best represents your own opinion

please. there was no vote on 'straight' marriage, and none is needed now. you can't confer rights to some and not others. it's that simple. you don't have to like it, agree with it, or think the bible says one thing or another.

But if you're a Republican, you pass it into law to force your opinion on "rights" upon others.



Blue: where same sex marriage is legal
Pink: Statute bans same-sex marriage
Red: Constitution bans same-sex marriage
Maroon: Constitution bans same-sex marriage and some or all other kinds of same-sex unions

You can see the whole map defined here:

Default Fox News website posters flip out

LOL ... Fox News trying to desperately spin Obama's support for gay marriage, this way:

"Obama Flip Flops, declares War on Marriage".

Seriously?

"War on Marriage"?

Oh, Fox News, so fair and balanced ...

And the comments section? Flipping out.

Personally I'm for number 2.

However I would never want my personal view to affect a view a State I don't live in may have.

10th Amendment > Gay Marriage

BTW How do I block RIOT's polls in addition to her posts?

Marriage has always had a religious tone to me. I would prefer a hetero civil union option given the choice. Not such a hassle to get out of, why can't straight couples have the same opportunities as gays!!???

You don't click on them, then comment in the thread, then leave with an ad hominem to try and cover your rude ass, because you decided to click into the thread and participate.

Life: way too hard for Dell to figure out

so what you are saying is that if the majority of a state wants to make a law banning interracial marriage, that is okay because of the 10th amendment?

what happened to the part of the constitution which seperates church and state?

what happened to Majority rule cannot oppress minority rights?


these laws that have been passed by states are unconstitutional. they go against the definition of america.

Arrow gay people got issues

its written in the Bible a man and woman marry and becomes 1,

a lot of people thinks is ok same sex marriage, "WRONG"

gay people got issues they should seek god and repent of their sins

no1 is born gay, some how they transform or experiment and the make the choice to be gay

IMO is nasty, somehow gays got brainwash
.
this is a touchy subject wtf is this world coming too.

one goes to the park with the kids and they see 2mans kissing and touching
how do 1 explain to a child gayness, is so wrong wow

all i have2 say is gay people, god sees everything weather you in the closet or out, so do whats right repent and live a real life.

i don't have anything against gay people is your choice to be gay
but thas not a real life.
