Rhode Island legalizes Gay Marriage

Agreed - Rhode Island is just another state deciding that maybe taking peoples' basic rights away isn't so great in the land of the free after all.

But the reason this progression is slow is because that's how bigots like it. Freedom - as long as I say it's okay and I'm not insecure about it. 'Cause doing it up the butt is icky.

 

People have been procreating outside of marriage for far longer than the US Supreme court even existed. Since before monotheism existed, too. There have been gay people for just as long, too.

Laws regarding anything outside of marriage are irrelevant to the topic of marriage. That there is no law preventing homosexuals from living together does not make their desire for equal marriage rights unnecessary nor redundant. So, how, in your mind, is that relevant?

Limiting something to heterosexual couples is an exclusion of homosexual couples. It is illogical to think otherwise.

It's really very simple. There are legal advantages that the state affords to married couples, including, but not limited to, certain tax advantages and certain rights afforded to a survivor. It is an injustice to deny those advantages to homosexuals that are consenting to commit to such a relationship.

Just to throw it out there, the below video is the preferred entertainment of the previous Roman Catholic Pope. I don't think he's very concerned with survivor benefits, but he certainly does seem to be pretty excited about half naked men.

Marriage is not limited to the purpose of procreation. Therefore, it is not a valid basis for your discriminatory position. The rest of your nonsense about "sexual couples" is simply ludicrous and I suspect you blurted it out without even knowing what it was you wanted to say.

 

LOL!!! Chafee is a blue blood establishment legacy. There is no left wing vs. right wing to them. That's just one of the distractions they use their media to confuse you with. Who (*)(*)(*)(*)ing cares whether he calls it a Christmas tree or a holiday tree? Everyone knows its a frigging Christmas tree!!!

Here's a hot tip for you, the Christmas tree is an adaptation of a pagan fertility ritual. It has nothing to do with Christianity at all. It was adapted when Christianity was forced upon the pagan people that didn't want to give up their long prior held traditions.

You guys are so easily led by the nose it's beyond pathetic.

 

<eyeroll> yeah,sure all else fails,insult my state

 

No my trouble is people calling what they're doing 'marriage',when it's NOT

Marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman to share their lives.....homosexual couples can do the same,but it's NOTmarriage

 

You should consider the fact that they may feel that heterosexual marriage is not really marriage in their eyes as well.

 

If you married the person you wanted to marry why do you want to prevent others from doing the same? And why should you have any say over other people's choices of who they want to marry?

 

Why would I consider such a ludicrous falsehood?

 

While it may seem ludicrous to you, it may not seem like that to them. That's my point. Everyone has their views on marriage.

 

My view is the one accepted for thousands of years

your view is accepted as a civil union.

 

I'm sorry, but arguing from a purely semantic point is silly and pedantic.

 

In Rhode Island, its marriage. Why does it matter to you that its called "marriage"?

 

Another state decends into the abyss of degeneracy.

 

Some states make love ... straight, gay or other .... others make war with AR-15's.

 

Lolol, you are the one proclaiming-

In Wisconsin and many states, from the 17 or 1800s when the states came into existence, until the last 50 years or so, sex between a man and woman outside of marriage was illegal. Within marriage was the only place procreation could legally occur.(*)

 

40 to 10 says - no time soon......

 

I see, what you are talking about is social deconstruction.

 

I know exactly wanted to say and I know you couldn't formulate a rational response.

 

Sort of ...

Gays for the most part are born gay ... this is called natural order ... nobody is born strapped with an assault weapon and therefore is born a conservative or tea partier.

 

Actually, its called non-adaptive mutation...

 

Why do you?

 

They don't. That's what they're saying.

 

Maybe Gov. Vagisound will explain away to the FBI that his influence peddaling was merely that his vaginal probes were merely to identify zygotes as gay, straight, lib or conservative ... because this is an actual valid (construct) conservative agenda per the founding fathers.

 

Nonsense. They want current marriage extended only to homosexuals. Sweden has had same sex unions as long as most any nation. ONE HALF of ONE% of all marriages are gay marriage. A tiny expansion of the institution to accomodate gays while the single mother and grandmother joined together for over a decade to provide and care for their children/ grandchildren are denied marriage. Any two people can join together to form a stable home. Whether they are in a sexual relationship is irrelevant to their ability or need to form a stable home.
