But is it fair that I am legally prohibited from marrying Jennifer?  

I mean if we both agree, why not?

My wife and I will not think less of our marriage if some gays get married. What they do doesn't concern us.

Will anyone of us actually love our spouses less?
The sanctity of marriage wil not be jeopardized because homosexuals are given the same rights as heterosexuals.

BTW, try not to use that slippery slope of NAMBLA example.
1) Nambla members are mentally sick that want to prey on helpless kids.
2) This is hardly an arrangement of consenting adults.
3) NAMBLA men rarely admit to being homosexual. Those pedofiles that actually want/have sex with young boys rarely have sexual relations with other men.


 

I think it has to do because the Gay guy gets beaten up soley for the fact that he is gay. Rarely is it the other way around.

You guys are distorting facts again.  No one has the RIGHT to marry the one they love unless the other person consents and is the opposite sex.  GAYS HAVE THIS RIGHT.

Two consenting adults OF THE OPPOSITE SEX DO have the right to marry each other. Why we get all up in arms because of what others will do shouldn't have a bearing on how we act.

we get all up in arms because they are not demanding equal rights they are demanding special rights just for them because they are different.

EDIT:

SO again since we've established that gays have the same rights as everyone else and that NO ONE has the right to marry just anyone.  Please tell me why this is a discrimination issue?

a gay man does have the right to marry a woman and have and raise a child by here.... it's done all the time.   A gay woman can marry a man if she chooses... they have the same rights as everyone else.

marriage between two people of the same sex is intrinsicaly meaningless so far as a potential benifiet to society so it weakens marriage.   Marriage should not be weakened.

I am not a fan of marriage for myself but see that it is logical to promote marriage between a man and a woman in a healthy society.   I have nothing against gay relationships but feel that calling them a marriage and giving them the same benifiets weakens something we should be trying to strengthen.

I just feel that gay marriage is the wrong direction to go if you want to have healthy families through marriage.   If marriage is meaningless to you and of no value other than a phrase or commitment that is non binding then it makes no difference.

  Man that was beautifull!

It is really simple. Anyone who wishes to enter into a monogamous legal partnership recognized by the State should be allowed to do so. If the word "marriage" bothers you then you're just being petty.

Sounds like some of you were beaten up by a gay guy in grade school or something.

They do not have the right to marry the consenting adult who would also like to marry them.  It's that simple.  You can jump around that all you want, but it doesn't change the fact.

And before you get goofy and repeat yourself, I get it.  We all get it.  We're not retarded, and neither are you, so quit acting it.  But just to make you feel better...were same-sex marriage legal, you'd have just as much right to marry a man as the next man would.
