Oh, trust me, I have.  :yes:

The problem is that neither you, nor any like you who would so willingly infringe on the rights of others, can come up with any concrete explanation for denying said rights to the homosexual segment of the population.

The picture I posted was poking fun at that fact.  :wink:

You know, I believe in God, (so shoot me), but I don't have a problem with it.  I have not yet figured out how same sex marriage devalues heterosexual marriage.  Marriage is an institution between two people who want to commit their lives to one another.  Just because Tom and Harry down the street get married, it's not going to stop Bob and Sue from getting married.  Unless Bob or Sue have been lying about their orientation.  If that's the case, then their marriage would have been a fraud anyway.
Looks like I've come full circle.

I have come to the conclusion....if you are not a Christian...you just do/can/won't understand....

it all has to do with ...SOME things have GOT to stay sacred.....there has GOT to be some sacred structure...

ah, it really don't make a hill of beans if I, explain it or not... :no:..not going to change any minds...

with THAT said,

Folks, ol henry is heading north for a wonderful Easter Weekend!!..

I hope all of you have a splendid weekend!... :)

I disagree henry.  I am Christian....have been all 55 years of my life.  I see nothing wrong with 2 guys wanting to get "married".  they are not hurting anyone, they just want to be happy like all "in Love" couples and unite themselves as one.  What is so wrong with that?

Got to go with the EX on this one.

For so many to claim 'sanctitiy' is BS.  How many people get married in the courthouse???  How many people get married in a church by a minister, but yet they could give two shits about the church and possibly never go back there.  I'm pretty sure many athiests and agnostics are married.....should they be denied that opportunity?

I don't know EX or Locutus (sorry to call you out), but if they are married or have ever been married before....I'm confident they didn't do so to consecrate a holy-religious-experience.  Should they not be allowed to get married?  Hell, they might even want to marry each other..... :biggrin: :biggrin:....and that should be OK. 

It's time to let this one go....it is inevitable....resistance is futile and wasted effort.

:spooked:

You did NOT!!



And on a side note, I was married first in my first ex mother in laws living room, and second in a pawn shop.    Guess I missed out on the sanctity.  (By the way, the second marriage lasted 20 years.)
Looks like I've come full circle.

Just wondering, how many of you have actually asked gay couples about the marriage laws? In this day and age many "straight" people are choosing not to marry because they can get most or all of the benefits of a married couple. The gay couples I know worry more about the next of kin type of thing than the actual "marriage" ceremony.
