They could care less about gay marriage, it's all about vilifying the other side and now that Obama has shown them the light, they get to create moral high ground for their messiah by spreading the hate.
Anyone remember beauty pageant contestants getting dumped on for their answers to this same issue? They love it when people have a different point of view and they know they will find lots of easy targets, so they can smear smear smear. People are suffering because they use their right to free speech then get attacked, but nobody seems to care, they can't see past the cardboard issue of gay marriage.

so, its not good enough that some states gays can marry , you want the Federal Govt to handle the enforcement across all 50 States? or what. whats the problem gays are having?
im ignorant
Absolutely! Federal Marriage Equality.
Ever bothered to check why states have marriage rights? It was for the purpose of discrimination. States were given marriage rights to keep undesirables out.

i'm pretty sure homosexuals do too.....someone really needs to point out the horrible wrong doings being done to the LGBT community that aren't done to thousands and thousands of other people....please? Is marriage all you've got? because we all know that that isn't REALLY an issue anymore.....they CAN and DO get married. They are not a special group of people who deserve special treatment. They are simply people, like other people, who are afforded the same human rights as others. And just like other people with other characteristics that single them out they are targeted by hateful losers on a daily basis.

"They can and do get married". Yes, they can and they do, but if you leave the state in which you live, your marriage is no longer recognized.

I support gay rights and I am a fiscal conservative.
So you think that unless you are gay you are supporting gay rights as part of an agenda?

Thank you.
But none are Federally recognized.
Federal marriage has privileges not available by any other means - - including state marriage.
State marriage is still not Equal.

People get married at churches. The Federal govt is not allowed to get involved with church and state. You want to replace the ordained minister with a Federal judge. That is unconstitutional. Every marriage would require a federal judge in order for there to be "Equality" as you put it. That is never going to happen.

I've been around enough bible believers who don't pity gays. They want to smash their faces in.
Well that's odd, who are you hanging out with?
I been around Christians too, for 62 years, and never once heard one say anything like that.

You truly are ignorant of the world around you.
Marriages happen at courthouses all the time. You are incapable of understanding the problem so why bother commenting on it? Gay people can't get married by the government and gain government benefits. Atheists get married all the time.
Man.. are there really people this dumb out in the world?edit on 7-8-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
