If one State creates a law allowing gay marriage, that kind of forces the other States to deal with it. If they do nothing at all than they must recognize the marriage in the other State. If that couple would move from State "A" to State "B", then State "B" would have to recognize the marriage unless they have specific laws against it.
Personally I would vote neither way. I think it is bad policy, but at the same time who am I to say what two people do? You only live once. |

Vague question - if you are referring to a federal law (i.e. constitutional amendment "defining" marriage), then no.
At the most, it should be a state issue.
Pesonally, I see no need to "defend" "traditional" marriage. If two people want to get married, whether they be straight or gay, is none of my business. |

Government can't turn a blind eye to it, I'm sure they wish they could. There are too many compound legal issues that arise with taxes, dependants, health insurance, health care decisions and dissolution.
The term 'marriage' should be altered to 'civil union'.
Tax breaks for dependants are bullshit. Everybody has to pick up the tab for schools, public immunization programs, park swings, all the kiddie shit. Dykes that impregnate, homo's that adopt or straight couples that progenerate should all pay the dues. FEED YOUR OWN FUCKING KIDS!
They should pay more taxes because their kids are loud and will eventually fuck us all over in some way or another.
Let the fags get married, make them drag their queeny asses into divorce court to haggle over dildos, dick rings, who keeps the house and who pays child support.
Fuck 'em. They want to get in the ring and play house for real?
Gays should be careful what they wish for, they just might get it.

The party that is against gay marriage are all closet fags. :rolleyes: so true when you hear gay people say that the people the most anti-gay are usually gay.

It wouldn't surprise me if Karl Rove and Rush are gay. |

This is Rovian BULLSHIT -- a non-issue. Anything to try and save the GOP from losing their asses in the election instead of focusing on the only REAL issue, which is the illegal war in Iraq.
If there were a God, he would strike Karl Rove with a lightning bolt and blow off his arms and legs, one at a time, leaving a charred, screaming body spinning on the ground. I don't think God approves of you, Karl... |

| There should be no laws relating to "marriage" whatsoever, if you want to get "married" you should be required to go to a Church or wherever your religion gathers. The government should only be handing out Civil Unions or something like that. The people that say "we need to defend traditional marriage" should actually be pissed that the state hands them out like candy (if you're straight). I got married in a courtroom in Downtown Atlanta, with about 50 other couples, there was nothing sacred about it, we did it for tax and next of kin reasons. We considered ourselves "married" long before that. |

Gay couples should have the same respect and rights as straight couples. I can't believe this is still an issue.
America is such a great country, it's hard to figure out why so many Americans suck. |

We already have "civil union".
There should not be any tax breaks/penalties when two or more individuals chose to legally share their obligations and resources. |

I will be doing my first commitment ceremony for a lesbian couple in about two weeks. It sucks that I have performed two "legal" marriages, but this one will not be recognized. |

I have asked this question of several people who gave the "We must protect the sanctity of marriage" line and never gotten a good answer. Exactly how does what George and John do affect your marriage?
All I ever got was a stammer or something about the bible, the bible being a good excuse for a law in a country that is supposed to have separation of church and state. :rolleyes: |

Exactly.
The problem I have with those who are now making the argument against gay marriage (i.e. prominent religious figures) is that 20 years ago they blamed the spread of HIV/AIDS on the promiscuous lifestyle that homosexuals led.
So now the gay community is fighting to be monogamous under the law, and that's not acceptable either.
No one is demanding that Churches of any denomination accept gay marriage...they have the right to reject that as they choose. Civil marriages are an entirely different matter, and gays should be given equal rights under the law as it pertains to this issue.
I'd like one person to provide a coherent rationale in regards to the argument that gay marriage "threatens" or would somehow "harm" traditional marriage. This is the argument that you always hear - marriage has to be "protected" - but there is never a coherent reason proffered.
If two men or two women are going to shack up who gives a fuck whether the state recognizes that as union? They're going to live together as a couple no matter what people say. |

this post shows great intelligence on your part - kudos to you .
I don't recall who said it but if the religious wackos and bush are so for 'preserving marriage' then they should make getting a divorce illegal. |

Thank you.
And you're right..."traditional" marriage activists should work at cleaning up it's own divorce rate before it even dares to wag their finger at the gay community. |

Ron Paul wants the government out of this issue entirely. We should not even need a license to get married. It was not that long ago when you did not need a license, it was a health issue that started it, (the need for blood tests).
As far as the tax breaks or penalties people get based on marital status, well no IRS under President Paul so a non issue. |
