Re: 10 Reasons Gay Marriage is Unamerican and Wrong.
bigots? so you now resort to name calling?
they can be together and have domestic partnership but marrige is for a man and a women. you can have a legal partnership but please dont totaly screw up our definition of marrige.
OP here... hi... been a while since I've been here, but I find that the bigotry (yes indeedy sir, bigotry...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigot well said here for your reading so my likely long winded post will not be exceedingly so. Just as a thought, you being a bigot, is not name calling but rather a factual statement that is related to your intolerance for others as they differ from you....)
Now, on to the meat. Who gives a crap about your "definition" of marriage, how do you define marriage? Wait don't tell me, A union between a man and woman. Ok I'll play. We'll pretend for a moment you are correct, and that marriage is simply "A union between man and woman" But now, what does this represent? A lone union between a man and woman without any bearing or requisite beyond the gender of the two parties involved, lacking their love for each other, lacking their wish to be acknowledged as a single entity of familial congregation, lacking anything other than the simple and dry requirement that they be a man and woman and partake in said union. What does this definition truly mean. As a practiced wordsmith, I must express my dissolution with your lacking definition of the word. I will give it to you this, that is what it has meant, sort of, we already all know the other contexts that are supposed to be involved with a marriage, so I shall avoid rehashing this. Love, wish to spend the rest of your life together, et cetera.. (didn't I say I'd avoid this, ok I will from now on) But let me bring to point this. Marriage while "technically" being a contractual state issued binding contract ,or union, between the couple, by no means means this alone in the minds of anyone involved... When couples get married they're not concerning themselves with contractual bindings and such, this isn't the thought on the smiling participants when they recite their vows... no, the marriage license is much more than simply a unionizing contract between a 'man and woman' it's a representation of their love for each other and their wish for this love to be acknowledged to the fullest extent one can in society.
Now for the homosexual crowd... Their thought in marriage is not about the marriage contract, no, it's about those other requisites involved, the love, the life, the family they've created. By denying them the ability to be married, you deny them the right to express themselves to the fullest that that little certificate represents that goes WELL BEYOND the bounds of the law that it assumedly represents. Why can they have a legal partnership, but no marriage, what's in a word? It's been a man and a woman, only because they've been so demonized and heralded as "Wrong" by ignorance and societal bigotry, no other reason, and this is still going on like it's 1399... Words change I hate to break it to you, 500 years ago you'd likely not have even understood English as it was. In fact I can easily give you 50 words that have changed definition to a much greater degree than this one marriage you're so dearly holding on to.. Admit it, the only reason you care is because this allows you a "Reason" to disparage the homosexuals and to attempt to subvert them to "your way" it's the last bastion of hatred against homosexuals since most other areas of society have come to their senses to some degree.
One other point I keep hearing; sanctity of marriage.... well guess what, disallowing homosexuals marriage by enacting laws this limit their rights to do so under the reasoning of "sanctity" is a violation of the separation of church and state, if in fact it is sanctity they're trying to preserve.... sanctity mind you is the quality of being holy...holy to whom now I must ask, not those trying to marry and being denied, thus if marriage is sanctified then by merit it is a violation to deny those wishing to marry *thus have a holy affirmation of their union* of the first amendment right to freedom of religion.... I know it's silly sounding isn't it, but while you trying to lock-tite the definition of a word, let me do so with all it's adjectory friends....
robf...
p.s. Bigotry is silly, stop hating the world.
p.s.s. also, how the hell can you justify lumping gay marriage in with terrorism... I'm seriously wondering about you...
