Funny story. My wife moved to New York a couple of months before I did. We weren't married, or even engaged yet. She got an apartment in the Cornell Dorms on 67th street. Pretty nice apartment for 900(of which she paid half, as he had a roomate) a month on manhattan. Roomate moves out. We...

I was out of town last weekend and didn't get a chance to post this. But for those interested, the state of Louisiana held a vote last Saturday (Sept. 18) on a constitutional amendment that would prohibit same sex marriages. It was approved at 78% in favor of the amendment. Voter turn out was...

This is what happens... :con2:

So now, I'm arguing with a fella at Court TV who is trying to say that the moral majority has a right and duty to legislate against behavior that they percieve as a threat to their way of life. If anyone is interested in joining the fray, check it out...

Recently, a local judge overturned the state Preservation of Marriage Act, ruling that it was Unconstitutional. His summary was very eloquent and rational, and I applaud that. The ruling has been stayed, however, pending a State Supreme Court ruling, and the inevitable side-taking by various...

Aren't Holland and Mass. the only places where gays can get legally married?

As a parent of two young children, I'm not looking forward to them getting married. The cost of weddings seems to grow every year, now costing thousands of pounds. On top of that, the stress of a wedding, and having to meet up with all those relatives I'd rather avoid just doesn't bear...

Todays the first day for same sex marriage certificates to be issued. Funny thing I did not know. Mass has a 3 day waiting period for marriage. Not for guns. WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS I SAY!!!!! (You can get a waiver ofthe waiting period bythe way.)

http://www.after-hourz.net/ri/wasjesusgay.html Hot off the press! Lots and lots of critical argumentation. Detailed rebuttals and informed criticism would be greatly appreciated. Strange how modern Christians are anti-homosexual when Jesus was homsexual himself (as my thesis shows!). Vinnie

Here is a subject that has been on my mind of late, somewhat related to BoD's thread on abuses of religion and the gay marriage thread, both listed in this forum. There are several organizations around the world that claim to be able to reform homosexuals: gays can come to these camps and...

Backers of Constitutional Gay Marriage Ban Change It to Allow States to Recognize Civil Unions Emphasis added. So it's just empty word-play now. To me it means they know gay marriage is going to happen, but still need to throw a bone to their constituents. Please click the link before commenting.

Because someone had to do it. And because the line won't allow a longer title.

For the most part, I've stayed out of the gay marriage debates. It’s one of those issues where those who have made up their minds will not budge, so debate seems pointless. But since that describes almost all issues, that excuse doesn’t really hold. Gay marriage? I’m all for them. Completely...

Some time ago a guy asked me to write for his new politics website. I accepted, but he didn't respond. Then a few weeks ago he wrote me again. Seems that he put up an article by my arch-nemesis from the CHUD board. Now after reading his article The Sanctitiy of Marriage, saying that gay...

1st grader get library book about gay guys WILMINGTON, N.C. - The parents of a first-grader are fuming over the book their daughter brought home from the school library: a children's story about a prince whose true love turns out to be another prince. Michael Hartsell said he and his wife...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=5&u=/nm/20040316/od_nm/religion_episcopalian_dc I guess when you get this deep a cultural divide, the ends of the spectrum kind of wrap around and meet each other.

Can the US afford to offend Islamic values, and provoke more terrorism, by legalizing gay marriage?

Dubya spoke to a conference of Evangelicals yesterday, telling them things they wanted to hear about abortion and gay rights. NPR reporters interviewed some of the attendees, and one of the nice folks expressed the following idea, paraphrased.... Gay marriage was seen as a threat to the...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22the+gay+agenda%22 I reviewed a copy of The Gay Agenda one summer at community college when I got stuck with a metrosexual roommate named Ben. As soon as I moved in, he seemed like a pansie to me (I'm normal), and I became suspicious that...

Got your attention, did it? OK, TECHNICALLY, he hasn't been arrested; he's been charged. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=12&u=/ap/20040302/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_new_york_4 "NEW PALTZ, N.Y. - The village's mayor was charged Tuesday with 19 criminal counts for...

My boss, who is a die-hard Christian, sent me this from one of his Christian websites: There is something twistedly ironic about all this. Mr. Colson is using Abraham Lincoln's defiance of the Supreme Court to push for freedom of slaves to support his that our current president should defy...

The other day at work we were discussing the idea, put forth by certain gay marriage foes, that if we allow gays to get married then we would have to allow bigamy, incest and a host of other unsavory marriages. Which would lead to the collapse of Western society (according to certain people)...

The comparison comes up alot in the gay marriage debate. But are they really that comprable? Interacial marriage laws were specifically written for the purpose of excluding mixed marriages. Out of spite against minorites. Were most marriage laws were written out of the traditional marriage...

Just because I have been thinking about all the benefits of marriage, I've decided that all marriage benefits are unfair. For the sake of fairness, I want to marry myself, and get half of all the marriage benefits(since there is just the one of me). What do you think?;)

Hello all. . . I was wondering how to respond to the following question, "Why shouldn't you let a brother and sister be married who really love each other? Or a man and his dog? Or a 21 year old and a 6 year old?" I'm trying to see all sides of this debate, and was wondering what a logical...
