    nobody is asking for "special legal consideration". merely EQUAL legal consideration.

    But 'homosexual' is no gender at all. Already covered that one.

    Why would a fetish be given equal consideration? Does this mean that a a person who has a fetish for animals can get a license to marry their dog?

    Homosexual and heterosexual are both sexual preferences, so the words you're looking for are "discrimination based on sexual preference". Hope that clears that little argument up.

    and you lost.

    the basic civil right is being denied based on gender.

    Talk to me when dogs are adult human beings capable of entering into consensual and contractual relationships.

    I am pretty sure it is being denied based on sexual preference.

    Unless you care to expound as to why it's 'gender discrimination', i.e. male or female?

    The couple is denied a contract because one of them is a particular gender, if they were the opposite they could enter into the said contract. It is based on gender.

    basic civil rights can't be denied based on gender. marriage limited to two opposite genders only, discriminates based on gender.

    sexual relations play no part, and are not required for a marriage to take place.

    You would have a better argument to ask god, 'why homosexuals cannot procreate with their same-gender partners?".............

    When you figure that out, then you have a foundation to understand the term 'marriage'.


    ie... to you, marriage is just a venue to tax and legal benefits......... which is not what marriage is in reality. Marriage is about lineage protection and the idiots of today, have forgotton why the commitment is (was) even important.

    No one needs to get married to be in love and religion has really nothing to do with 'lineage protection' (a commitment to each other for procreating/consumation).

    So when gays can make babies between each other, sexually................ then they can get married.

    That last line invoked a question: could you imagine a monogamous homosexual? Does anyone know if there are any?

    then i can go into a womens bathroom?

    the forms share 'one' bride and 'one' groom................ there is no such thing as a male bride without lying to yourself.

    and by the way, marriage aint a civil right!

    i agree........

    marriage aint required for people to be in love. So what is the need of this stupid argument titled with an oxymoron of terms; "homosexual marriage"?

    The absolutely ridiculous attempts at rationalization that you people come up with are astounding.

    You certainly are.

    Lol. The word "discrimination" doesn't only apply to race and sex.

    Herr Bishadi,

    You have listed several reasons why homosexuals should be denied the civil right of marriage. Very good my son. Perhaps you could put this forward at the next ********** convention under the "Final Solution" category....what say ye?

    A homosexual does not fit the definition of a gender. Just because they were born with say a penis does not mean that they live like a man.

    Gender has nothing to do with how one lives. Gender is what you are: male, female, and even some might argue eunch. Good Lord but it is shocking how uneducated some of you are.

    False and irrelevant. Marriage has nothing to do with procreation.

    It's just a commitment to each other, not to have children. I don't remember the vows saying anything about "I promise to provide you with bountiful children lest this marriage become null and void".

    I'm getting married in a couple months. Neither myself nor my fiance want kids, ever. Does that mean that we should not be allowed to marry?

    And conversely, no one needs to get married to have kids.

    Again, irrelevant. Although gays can have kids, albeit with a little help.

    Of course. I personally know several. I have no idea why many of you anti-gay folks seem to think that to be gay means that they also screw everything in sight. There are no more homosexual whores as there are heterosexual, the ones that are, are just a bit more open about it.

    marriage has nothing to do with lineage protection. procreation isn't even so much as mentioned in a single marriage law. it's not required that a couple have the ability, or the intention to procreate in order to get married.

    I will say it again because it is obvious, the couple is denied a contract because one of them is a particular gender, if they were the opposite they could enter into the said contract. It is based on gender.

    Adam wants to be married, however he cannot marry Steve. Because Steve is a man. It is discrimination based on the gender of the participants.

    To a Conservative it means:

    1. Hating a woman who wont sleep with you until you marry her
    2. Owning a gun, a rifle, a cross bow, a bow and arrow, a machine gun, a tank, etc. etc and putting on your GI Joe costume on Saturday night
    3. Hating commies
    4. Hating Islam
    5. Owning only a pick-up truck
    6. Having a gold tooth
    7. Be clothed in wornout blue jeans
    8. Only wearing boots
    9. Watching football and getting drunk on cheap beer (made in USA of course)
    10. Using derogatory names in reference to homosexuals, Negros and other visable minorities
    11. Despising Liberalism
    12. Denounce Obama at every opportunity - born in Kenya, not American, and is a Muslim
    13. Denounce all social programs (except unemployment insurance)
    14. Knowing that University grads are really homosexuals who wont join the Army
    15. Having a perverse love of country music

    The above is only a partial listing of those belifs necessary to be a man in the Conservative world of the **********s.
