I can only go by my own personal experience and the rule of law in my land, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Same sex marriage is legal here. The majority of people have found nothing scary about it. Rabid talk radio does not even bring it up anymore. I have attended same sex ceremonies of homosexual couples who have gone on to adopt children, and one to even divorce. All the joys and pains enjoyed by heterosexual couples.

I do worry about the majority in California who found same sex marriage so distasteful that they voted against giving gays and lesbians the same rights enjoyed by citizens of my state. Anything I can do to overturn that ruling in a legal way I will do. California is on the other side of the country so sending a few dollars to the right organization is probably all I can do. I'll also send email and even respond on the internet as to why I think that the removal of those rights by the vote in California is a form of ignorance I thought had vanished in California.

I am overjoyed you are not arguing for animal unions as the mutual consent bar might be very difficult to clear even with a very smart lamb. Why did you bring up animal unions then? A slippery slope? Homosexual marriage is one step away from bestiality? Were you reading too much of the Mormon four color glossy mailers?

By your argument existing requirements like consent are irrelevant because they can be got rid of by legislation.


No... simply because like same-sex unions they're not marriages.

Nature also ordains that corn is a grass in Mexico, and was never intended for humans to eat. But those godless indian heathens took that grass and modified it into something it wasn't. Now it feeds the entire planet and is the most nutrient dense crop ever, and yields continue to rise as we continue to modify the plant.

Likewise we've modified marriage to include same sex. Well, actually we didn't modify it. The catholic church recognized same sex unions long ago, we've just brought it back.

How do you know? Did you ever propose to a lemur?

Absolute rubbish - how do you know what it was intended for?


No they don't they continue to fall as food production is taken away from individuals to feed the greed of corporate conglomerates who have fkXdc! up the crop by interfering with it.


What Massachusetts? Phhhh - yeah like they're supreme masters of the entire universe.

Right, on consigliori! Everyone knows that be YOU! Silly colonists.

BTW, how's that flashlight working out?

Ok, bubbelah, stay with me if you can. Hint:

Hey, just call if you need any more help. K?

You mean how do I know that same-sex unions are not marriages? What a stupid question - how is anyone supposed to imagine you meant that? Because marriage is the consummated union of one man and one woman that's why - you love asking for everything that's already been posted several times to be repeated right?

No, that's just YOUR definition of marriage.
