It makes sense if you understand their true agenda, which is the breakdown of traditional marriage, hence the traditional family, hence traditional society based on the family as its central core, hence the rise of the State to manage still more personal affairs.

Are you really going to sit there and try to argue with me about the specifics of what another poster was thinking when he mistakenly referred to our type of government as a "democracy" instead of the republic that it really is? So according to you, when Glock said "democracy," he was specifically referring to the fact that judges (after they've been appointed by representatives) are periodically voted-upon in a popular vote in order to end or continue their terms in office?

You've really got your head up your ass today, dontcha Hag? How many people do you know go around calling America a "republic" v. the common vernacular of “democracy”? Answer: very few. For your information, the precise term is “democratic republic”. So if you insist on being a tight twat about this, you’re calling our form of government a “republic” is technically more incorrect than my calling it a “democracy”. So get off your liberal elitist bark-humping horse.

They are also not allowed to pass laws that are judged by the courts to be "not the way we'd like things to be".

The fact that it's not the courts' job to make such judgements, is often ignored, as it has been in this case. This is why various liberal, gay-activist, etc. groups use the courts to force their agenda on others, when established legislative methods fail (i.e. when no one wants to vote for them).

If it banned churches from performing the religious ceremony then it would be 100% unconstitutional. However if it merely stated that the state would not recognize such marriages in terms of benefits for the gay couple, then its perfectly legal.

yes i am married and from a social perspective i have already stated my opion about gay marriage in this thread.....

the post you have quoted of mine is aimed at my legal interest in this issue....

the state does sanction the union of gay couples and gives them all the same rights as straight couples.....

there is a law on the books voted on by the people of the state which defines the word marriage as a legal contract between a man and a woman.....this is the law....

the judicial branch redefined that word today .... which means they made law..... that is not their roll ... which is why i said i am interested to see what they used within the constitution to let them "make law" and redefine the word ..... i would surmise they simply ruled the law unconstitutional under equal protection .... unfortunately being gay is not listed as a protected class in our constitution....this may take a while.....

These core substantive rights include, most fundamentally, the
opportunity of an individual to establish — with the person with whom the
individual has chosen to share his or her life — an officially recognized and
protected family possessing mutual rights and responsibilities and entitled to the same respect and dignity accorded a union traditionally designated as marriage. As past cases establish, the substantive right of two adults who share a loving relationship to join together to establish an officially recognized family of their own — and, if the couple chooses, to raise children within that family — constitutes a vitally important attribute of the fundamental interest in liberty and personal autonomy that the California Constitution secures to all persons for the
benefit of both the individual and society.

We need not decide in this case whether the name “marriage” is invariably
a core element of the state constitutional right to marry so that the state would
violate a couple’s constitutional right even if — perhaps in order to emphasize and
clarify that this civil institution is distinct from the religious institution of
marriage — the state were to assign a name other than marriage as the official
designation of the formal family relationship for all couples. Under the current
statutes, the state has not revised the name of the official family relationship for all
couples, but rather has drawn a distinction between the name for the official
family relationship of opposite-sex couples (marriage) and that for same-sex
couples (domestic partnership). One of the core elements of the right to establish
an officially recognized family that is embodied in the California constitutional
right to marry is a couple’s right to have their family relationship accorded dignity
and respect equal to that accorded other officially recognized families, and
assigning a different designation for the family relationship of same-sex couples
9
while reserving the historic designation of “marriage” exclusively for opposite-sex
couples poses at least a serious risk of denying the family relationship of same-sex
couples such equal dignity and respect. We therefore conclude that although the
provisions of the current domestic partnership legislation afford same-sex couples
most of the substantive elements embodied in the constitutional right to marry, the
current California statutes nonetheless must be viewed as potentially impinging
upon a same-sex couple’s constitutional right to marry under the California
Constitution.

Since I clearly stated that heterosexuals produce homosexuals, I'm not sure why you are asking me to propose the opposite.

If gays aren't reproducing, then the cause of homosexuality certainly resides within heterosexuals. If gays aren't reproducing, it's a trait that can't become more prevalent do to heredity.

It makes sense if you understand their true agenda, which is the breakdown of traditional marriage, hence the traditional family, hence traditional society based on the family as its central core, hence the rise of the State to manage still more personal affairs.

They don't give a shit about the greater picture, they want to be 'married', not 'civilly unionized', and yeah, they're going to argue for it. Now, The Court was wrong for oveturning a law that was laid down by both the will of the state legislature, and the will of the citizenry, but aside from that, it is of absolutely no consequence.

If they get all the same rights priviliges, responsiblities, and whatnot as married couples, then it is only a matter of idiotic wording.

and it is not gay marriage that is "eroding" the covenant of marriage, it's this constant stream of "being my own special me" crap, it's people getting hammered and getting married in Vegas, screwing around, and the general erosion of personal responsiblity that is hurting marriage.

Free at Last, Free at Last, Good Golly Miss Molly, Free at Last!


The California Supreme Court's unanimous decision in favor of same-sex marriage is not only a victory for the Gay Community against mean straight people, but a triumph for equal rights. Up until today, only heterosexuals were allowed to marry members of the same gender. Now gays can, too! More importantly, the court's ruling is a noble gesture of compassion for a race of people that has suffered far too long under the cloak of oppression.

Imagine waking up every day knowing that simply because of the person you choose to love, you'll have to file your taxes differently than everyone else. Hitler did the exact same thing to the Jews! It's a cruel indignity no human being should be forced to endure.

Caring for a sick loved one is also something we all take for granted, but in most states gays can't visit other gays in the hospital. It's against the law! What if the only person you ever loved was on their death bed, and you weren't even allowed to be at their side in their final moments to say, "Gosh, I'm sorry I gave you AIDS"? It's hard for us insensitive heterosexuals to envision such a nightmare, but it's a terrible reality that members of the deeply passionate and overly dramatic Gay Community suffer through every day.

The California Supreme Court has finally removed the tiny "except for gays" asterisk on their state's Bill of Rights with this nifty new law they've written. I pray to a gender-neutral God that a more progressive SCOTUS under President Hillary follows suit and legalizes same-sex marriage nationwide - centuries of tradition and the moral fabric of society be damned.

and libs have so many spokespeople on this issue


Rosie O'Donnell, Man of the People
Congratz to the lesbian Gandhi, Rosie O'Donnell, who married her longtime Significant Other Domestic Life Partner, Karen Carpenter, in the face of overwhelming opposition from that fascist hatemonger Bush!

"We were both inspired to come here after the sitting president made the vile and hateful comments he made. Sometimes civil disobedience is necessary to insure freedom for all. Isn't that right, babycakes?" Rosie snarled at the press while holding her blushing bride in a loving head-lock.

"Merp!" Carpenter agreed. Carpenter, a former dancer and marketing executive for Nickelodeon, has produced 9 of Rosie's 17 children, impregnating herself with a turkey-baster filled with sperm purchased on eBay. "We just want to be treated like normal people, is that so much to ask?"

Although the two had been cohabitating for six years, it was George Bush's sudden support for a Constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage that forced the couple to tie the knot.

"We should conduct this difficult debate in a manner worthy of our country, without bitterness or anger," Bush spoke to reporters at the White House last Monday. "In all that lies ahead, let us match strong convictions with kindness and goodwill and decency."

For the folks at home, that's secret code for "Let's exterminate the queers". Good ol' Rosie saw right through it.

"I think the actions of the President are, in my opinion, the most vile and hateful words ever spoken by a sitting president," O'Donnell hissed in response to Bush's speech. "I could just rip his head off and shit down his neck!!"

The newlyweds celebrated their nuptials along with thousands of San Franciscans by castrating Bush in effigy, followed with a dildo sword-fight on the steps of City Hall.

This open-minded, tolerant blogger wishes the O'Donnell family all the happiness in the world, and may God protect them from the right-wing Christians who only want to spoil everyone's good time.

Naaaaaaah, impossible. That's why they seduce and train up boys and young male adolescents to be their partners: it's how homosexuals reproduce.

Parents would not be worried about homosexual teachers and scoutmasters if they thought their kid would be impervious to being turned homosexual because you're either born that way or not. Parents know very well that it's a choice, and that homosexuals can seduce and pervert young boys, and they do, it's the only way to keep the supply up.

Like Foley was doing with the congressional pages. Classic.

That's what Catholic priests did constantly, too, go after boys so there would be some homosexuals around for them to prey on.

To paraphrase: "What if the whole world went gay?" you said, "would it be the end of human beings since gays can't reproduce?

Second, (and this comprised both four and five on your list) you are childish because you continually and unceasingly hate on anything and everything that doesn't fall under your freako-pseudo-militant version of conservatism. You are completely closed-minded to any person, idea or thing that isn't white, military-related, or Biblically literal and for that I think you are childish and a hater--as well as chronically negative and a kill-joy. You continue to completely ignore and/or completely disrespect any opinion that isn't your own whether it be on abortion, rap music, gay rights, or anything else for that matter. You'll turn that around to accuse me of the same thing, but it wouldn't be true because I don't do that.
(This covers number six) I respect and tolerate other people's opinions except for when they infringe on the liberties of others, which is what your opinions always seem to do. Can you think of one thing you support that doesn't deny someone something? You can't. And that's why I think you're a childish hater and a negative Nancy.

[3]You must be legally retarded..... That's my response to the hypothetical (it was actually first posted by Yurt now that I look so I've conclusively discovered that you do at least have some vague awareness of what you posted).
This is where the premise originated: http://www.debatepolicy.com/showpost.php?p=245255&postcount=51
I did NOT come up with the premise.

"Closed-minded" makes absolutely no sense. That's what you do. You post a non-sequitur and then pretend as if it proves your point. [3]I swear to God, I can't fathom how you made it to adulthood without being rubbed-out via natural selection.
[4]Watch this. I'll do the exact same thing.

I'll add born-with-a-tail to the list.

This is too easy :lol:
* You didn’t quote Yurt. Additionally, you agreed with the entire concept that gay is a preference, and expanded on it by theorizing that these gays would reproduce by “sucking it up” and go hetero. Oops. You’d better go re-read the party line on this.

Unlike you, I don't follow a party line. I mistakenly thought you were the one who first proposed the "gay-world" premise so that's why I didn't quote Yurt. If you'd like to read his post, I believe it's post 51. I also linked to it in one of my last three posts. I've already stated that there's no way to know for sure unless you're actually gay. They say they're born that way. I have no way of knowing any better and have no reason to argue with them otherwise. That's my stance. None of that can stop me from indulging in a debate on the subject or from supporting any side of it I wish to support.
Your problem is that you've bought-in hook, line and sinker to the Rush doctrine that there are two distincly different types of people living in America. It's an evil, partisan derisive doctrine that has found root in the American psyche but it's completely false and I feel sorry for you that you've bought into it so completely. Your leader Rush has got you wearing a tinfoil cap and I won't be the first to tell you that it makes you look really silly.

"Born with a tail" is a non-sequitur and a strawman argument akin to accusing me of not being open-minded and/or not sticking to my party line.

No, it's not that I don't think they can make up their mind. I know that you have made up your mind. I think that a person can't know for sure unless they are queer. That doesn't make me "closed-minded," it makes me rational.
What makes you closed-minded is that you have made up your mind and yet you have absolutely no first-hand knowledge of what it's like to be gay. Your opinion is based on fear and ignorance, i.e., that you don't agree with the act of homosexuality, that you don't like it, that since you don't like it you're going to avoid it, that since you avoid it it must be bad, that since it's "bad" that must mean that gays are bad and on and on like dominos until you arrive where you are now and you actually believe that there is a vast gay conspiracy to destroy marriage and turn everyone gay.

The cleft palette thing is a physical deformity, not an unseen persuasion--that example holds no water. And getting a tattoo isn't quite the same as being attracted to men over women. If you think it's that shallow of a decision (if you're going to subscribe to the "choice" hypothesis) then you have even less understanding of the issue than I do. Think about it. If it is a choice as you believe, do you really think that making the choice to be gay is as simple as deciding whether to get a flower or a butterfly on your ass? They have to take into consideration what their friends and family will do, how they'll be percieved by society, their religious views, etc. It's a huge decision that affects every facet of their lives. It's not deciding between getting a tuna or a meatball sub.

A sort of brain damage?

Yeah, sure.

I guess it's a catching sort of brain damage if a homosexual teacher or scoutmaster or priest or uncle catches you and keeps inviting a boy over to feel him up.

If there were ANYTHING to this inborn error of metabolism business, there would be no need to fear seduction of young boys. But somehow we don't see parents being real accepting of child-porn-collecting male fifth-grade teachers, because they know it's not just inborn: it's how you learn to do sex.

Learning to do sex with the scoutmaster or math teacher is not a good route to getting any grandchildren from your son, and he'll disappear into a highly dysfunctional, strange "gay" community as well as not be able to reproduce normally.

The current politically correct term is "sexual orientation". This replaces the actually correct "sexual preference" because the queer lobby figured out that if they could convince everyone that they were all born queer, then they could get "equal rights".
