If they want to unite, I guess that is fine. Just dont call it marriage, that is reserved for the joining of a man and a woman. Call it like a quagmire or something.
Yes I am against gay marriage. That is not how God intended for two people to be. He created woman from man's rib, Not another man.
But regardless of what was or was not intended, and two people of the same sex wish to be together, then so be it, just don't go telling me or any other joe about it. What goes on behind closed doors should stay behind closed doors. Gay and lesbianism has gotten so far out of hand that I can't stand it. Give it a rest and keep your lifestyle to yourself. No one else wants to hear about it.
Not just for religious reasons, but for reasons, on what they expect nowadays. What's mine is theirs, too. I don't think so. Not all rights should be based on gay or lesbian lifestyles.
Not too long ago, people would have said the same for minorities, interracial marriage and women. So in essence, you're saying discrimination acceptable just because you don't approve of who they love. It's not a lifestyle, it's who they are, get over it. Being gay isn't a choice, but being close minded and hateful is.
Being gay /lesbian is a choice. You were not born that way. Being that way is hormones gone wrong inside the body, and being born the opposite sex. My son knew this kid ( twins ) one definitely born with the imbalance of hormones and born with male parts. He made the choice, and his mother supported his decision. That is when his lifestyle changed. I can't approve/ disapprove of who they are or who they love, that is only their choice. And I am neither close minded or hateful because I do have good friends ( both individuals in that couple ) that are either gay/lesbian, I get along with them perfectly, and those are the ones that live their home lives secretly. They don't talk about it at work, and post all over web or news. I feel those that do that are obviously uncomfortable with their own lives and situations.
I am not gay, I am married to the best man in the world, at least in my opinion. As to how I would know, because with what i do on a daily business, I interact with a lot of people. As for this kid I am talking about he and his family were all on the program 60 minutes a few years ( or so ) back. We know them personally and when you talk with the ( now ) young man, he talks about how he faces his choice and literally his lifestyle. These people are very good friends to us, to this day, we are good friends. Plus my son still hangs out with the older straight brother and this family.
Think about it. We all need 'our love' to be rubber stamped by the government? ' Oh, honey, I loved you so much but now Obama says it's the real deal, I feel even more love for you'. It is a bit ridiculous if you think about it. I am married btw. To a woman, before any of you bible bashers start:)
first of all, you really don't need to bring in the president, unless of course you want to bring in all 44 of them.
Secondly, marriage is a legal entity. That is a fact. Being married entitles you to make medical decisions if your spouse becomes incapacitated, visit your spouse in the hospital, file taxes jointly, gives you numerous rights in the event of divorce, and quite a few other things.
If you don't need your love rubber stamped by the government, then don't get married.
If marriage equality is not passed, then I think it is entirely reasonable to abolish the legal institution of marriage, and only recognize civil unions.

Let's just say that this hypothetically became politically sound and understood as legitimate for a moment. Would the "quagmired" couple have the same LEGAL rights given to them when compared to what marriage would give them?

Personally I can't see anyone being for a Biblical Marriage....
I love fat people, but I don't think I should have to be inconvenienced on an air plane because they require their seat and half of mine.
And I love people who claim to be gay, but detest people who define themselves by their sexual desires, and I think it is a sin, useless and selfish.
