    ~PROP 8 VERDICT TOMORROW

    Prepare for national shitstorm. The judge in all likelyhood is going to strike down prop 8 as unconstitutional, so prepare to see Glenn Beck's head literally explode tomorrow night.

    I hear the judge struck it down. Wooo

    Anyway, my opinion is I don't care, because it isn't any of my business. I do however, agree with PB_Smith that honest terminology should be used (from page 1).

    Now, when I say I don't care, I just mean that *I* don't care. I will always support legislation that levels the playing field. It's just that in my mind, this never should have been an issue in the first place.

    The whole ordeal, is just plain retarded.

    Actually "marriage" is a function of patriarchy and property ownership. Marriage establishes lines of inheritance.

    and in so doing helps to accomplish the primary objective of solidifying and protecting the family with the intent being the survival and perpetuation of the societal or cultural group in question.

    Groups survive without the Judeo- Christian institution of marriage. This is not an issue of survival but of ownership, who is entitled to what. Idealistic marital affection binding society is not what marriage was about. Wives were property.

    There simply is no logical argument against gay marriage. I have heard all kinds of diatribes against it, but no one has ever presented a fact to support their argument.

    So...like racial discrimination...someday down the road we will all look back and ask, "what took us so long to give equal rights to gays"?

    One of the things its really about in the end isnt it.

    Which males are best suited to watch over young girls

    Rewind 10,000 years ago, which males do you think were left behind to watch over the women and children as the warriors went off to fight the neighbouring tribes

    Gay, its got everything to do with evolution, everything to do with family

    Not so much "Gay" but same sex preference existed long before marriage, religion, writing, even language.

    Its this modern day version of marriage and small family units that is unnatural, or at least unique in relation to the rest of history

    With gay marriage comes gay divorce. Gays need to suffer the same consequences that we straits get involved in.

    That my friends is the best argument for gay marriage.

    i am personally slightly homophobic, however, any arguement against gay marriage is ignorant and retarded. gays will do what they do and live together whether or not they are married, why not let it be legal and let people be happy and not feel alienated. fuckedup shit. the worlds filled with itt

    And you know all of this how?
    How in the hell can you know anything at all about what was or wasn't prior to language and written communication??????

    I hope that post was done as a joke, because if it isn't, you really are an uneducated monkey.

    there's evidence that gays in native american society had functional roles to play, and this probably provides some of the basis for speculation

    Why do keep saying that? You think everyone that comments on your stupidity is a closet homosexual?

    Homosexuality doesn't bother me in the slightest, it's ignorance and stupidity such as you exhibit that bugs me.

    Marriage is sacred - just ask Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, who have seven marriages between them.

    I believe I read somewhere that since gay marriage has been legalized in some states, the divorce rate is starting to drop...coincidence?
