What THEY want, is for them to have EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO HOMOSEXUALITY--
Are you kidding me? Do you think they give a damn if the "rights" are there or not? We already know that the elite breaks rules and do whatever they want, and their plans are much more than "homosexuality" they have more sinister plans...
I can't believe people actually think that the elite is "all about" homosexuality. They have much bigger plans then that, you need to wake up.
And even if the elite were for homosexuality, that doesn't make it evil. Is it guilty by association? Wow, you really are simple-minded..

If it was really about equal rights, it wouldn't even be about gay marriage, but about ending the unfair legal-financial advantages that a document like that has.
NO - - Equal Rights first.
If you want to fight for change after everyone has the same Equal Rights - - as of Right Now - - then go ahead.
But not until ALL have the same Equal Right.

ohhh, snap, you got called out here.
Essentially, what do gay people need a marriage certificate for?
Your "equal rights' argument falls here if you are not inline with what Cynic said - the single mother struggles for the same "rights" as gay people do because she's not married.
Or is it really just semantics and needing a cause?

No.
Because you can not pick and choose what sounds gay (happy) from the bible and discard the rest.
You fail to understand Christians don't hate they pitty (sympathy or sarrow for another)
People on here are trying to use the bible, which ironically, they also say is a false book. Untill they find a few words that may help their argument.
God says in the bible he "loves" and he "Hates".
You do what he loves and don't do what he hates. Simple really. If you are stuck on god hating something take it up with him not his followers. They didn't say it.
Dear World,
Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around... and PLEASE don't try to shove it down my child's throat.
Sincerely, tired of hearing your religious guff

Such behavior by LGBT's will merely add up to society's further disdain. Tolerance can only go so far - push it more and it will snap. Gays should smarten up and keep their frustrations to themselves and contribute positively to society rather than being obnoxious pests.

If you truly believe that two people, who will love, covet and honour each other all their lives, who will make each other happy and support each other through the good and the bad, cannot recognise that bond in the manner they would wish because of the chromosomes they were born with, then you are mentally deficient.

I don't know why on earth you have brought paedophilia to this table..methinks I can sense diversionary tactics.
Plenty of the anti-gay marriage advocates state marriage is for a man and a woman and there is no disclaimer of *no minors or *no relatives, because its taken for granted that the parties involved in such debates aren't going to resort to silly comparisons.

To this point, I note the "outrage" that was posted everywhere about the intolerant religious right when they threatened boycotts of Kraft Foods and more specifically the Oreo brand.
Now we all knew that this would never happend because those toothless mobs need to feed on deep-fried Oreos at the local county fairs and NASCAR races, but none the less - we were all blugened to death with the outrage and condecention on these people for threatening to not purchase a food product because of the very public, very intentional PUBLIC FACEBOOK POSTING IN SUPPORT OF GAY PRIDE.
Now mind you - this was Oreo bringing the heat on themselves. They posted a picture on their facebook Fan Page knowing full well it would illicit reactions from consumers - many of whom would not share their views.
There is a very obvious difference between claiming pride in who you are, and in trying to impede the rights of others. It is not quite the same, for instance, to make a facebook page that says "I'm proud to be black!", as it is to make one that says "Black people are stupid and immoral!".
How can you not recognize the difference?

If Equal Rights is an agenda. Currently - - Equal Right of Legal Government Marriage.
Count me in 100%.
Be alert to anti-gay hate groups trying to claim they are victims.
Chick-fil-A makes chicken sandwiches... they're not quite the "hate group" you're attempting to confer upon them.

There is only Equal Rights.
So if all states, right now, offered marriage licesenses to gay or strait people - you'd be happy as pie and just a whistling dixie?
No more boogie men to kill, no more phantom bigots to attack?
or are there more "inequalities" that seem to constantly crop up to fight against?
Self licking ice-cream cone - you want a problem to fight against, therefore there is injustice that must be stamped out.... one key stroke at a time.

I brought it to the table because I think we should all understand that "love" is not a valid reason for marriage. If we can all agree on that, then perhaps we can agree that homosexuals are not actually seeking equal rights, but rather (A) the creation of a new "right" or (B) the recognition of a previously unrecognized right. (A or B depending on your perspective.) Does that make sense?

Um? Do you then support unions between a man and his sister, or between an adult and an underaged child? How far can we carry this thought?
If you understand why there are laws against intercourse between brother and sister, and adults and children, you will see why they should not be allowed to marry and it is not analogous to homosexual marriage at all.
Same goes for bestiality, which is usually the next place the anti-gay marriage crowd descends to.edit on 7-8-2012 by humphreysjim because: (no reason given)

New Theory: Sexual Orientation Determined by Brain Hemisphere Dominance
BY Sunnivie Brydum - August 06 2012
A Northern California author says he's discovered the missing link that explains the biological source of sexual orientation. While doing research for his recent book, The Whole-Brain Path to Peace, James Olson stumbled upon what he says is the direct correlation between hemispheric dominance in the brain and whether a person is gay or straight.
Olson’s theory portends that both heterosexual men and lesbians are generally dominated by the left hemisphere of the brain, which is committed to sequential, thought-oriented processes. And heterosexual women and gay men are much more likely to be dominated by the right hemisphere of the brain, which regulates feeling and cultural awareness.
Olson believes that current research looking for a “gay gene” is searching in the wrong place. Rather, Olson contends, sexual orientation is determined by brain hemisphere dominance. Most men are left-brain dominant, whereas most women are right-brain dominant. Seizing on the implication that “most” necessarily excludes some people, Olson wondered what happened when brain dominance was reversed from the standard.
If sexual orientation is determined by brain dominance as Olson contends, it’s important to note that the pathways connecting the two hemispheres of the brain and determining which side is dominant are mostly finalized before birth. As such, Olson reiterates conventional scientific wisdom that sexual orientation is predetermined and unchangeable. The author, a straight, single man originally from Oklahoma, also believes that his observation could help demystify the source of sexual orientation and thereby foster peace and understanding.
