Marriage Debate

[Regnad Kcin]

"How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four: calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one."..
This joke is from the guy who started the civil war.
calling a same sex marriage a marriage does not make it one.
Now that the democrats have adopted gay marriage as part of their platform, this joke refers to the whole democrat party.

"Democrat party?"

Seriously, fellow human being, the issue is darn close to being moot. Flawed analogies, semantic trickery, and simple, exasperated foot-stamping won't change reality.

Same-sex marriage is a good thing, and you might take pride in this positive progress towards equality and liberty for all - a status our country has long espoused but frequently fallen short on achieving.

Or conversely:

How justified is bigotry if you say that bigotry against certain sexual orientations is fair?

Still not justified. Saying it's fair doesn't make it fair.

There is not, and never has been, a party by that name. An argument that depends on wrong names is worthy of dismissal. Two little letters. No excuse.

Which guy started the civil war?

Yep.

I'm tired of continuing to hear the "Democrat Party" repeatedly, so I use the name "Republics" and Republic Party to even the score.

People who do this are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

I love my wife very much. I have every reason to believe that feeling is returned. We are a loving, stable happy marriage made up of two people who are law abiding, contributing members of society.

2 years ago my wife was diagnosed with several non-cancerous ovarian and uterine cysts. Sadly this required her to undergo a hysterectomy leaving us as a couple unable to biologically create children.

So by what objective measure is our current marriage any different from a same sex couple's marriage?

I'll be attending a same-sex wedding this weekend with my wife and kids. This will be the second same-sex wedding to which we have attended. (We missed the third due to schedule conflicts.) So far, there has been no impact on my marriage or my family, beyond all the complaining about needing to wear nice clothes.

But, I'll get over that and do it anyway.

Just like people thinking you can be married again after a divorce. Marriage isn't so easy to end.
