+3it looks like that's what some politicians believe.... and truthfully, i have met people who have voted for a specific candidate solely on their stance on a singular issue. personally, i find it.....sad.
(note: if you want citations of groups that support Republican candidates, see GOProud: http://www.goproud.org/page.a... and the Log Cabin Republicans: http://www.logcabin.org/site/...
(note part 2: "site example" is wrong...the word is "cite" which is short for citation).
It's not the candidates making this decision, it's the people. Respect the people
Are you actually arguing that poodles are considered "persons" under the U.S. Constitution?
No. Your argument is inapplicable as we are talking about legal persons, and U.S. citizens.
Can an animal contract?
Be honest.
We can't move forward in the discussion until we establish that.
I believe that marriage, in the state, civil sense, is about the legal establishment of a committed family unit.
That means that it's not about sex. It's not religious. It's not about reproduction. Therefore, if siblings want to get married, I see no problem with it.
Example: there are two sisters in Britain. They're elderly, and one has benefits, and neither are planning on marrying an SO in the future. They should be able to get married. Why not?
As for MULTIPLE parties...there are more issues there. Considering that the entire legal system contemplates two partners, the revamping necessary to include more is profound.
Behavior outside of societal norms is deviant. You are yet another testament to the ignorance present in our populace. No wonder why this nation has no sense of itself.
Bottom line? We do what most voters do; weigh the pros and cons, decide what is most important to us, and pull the lever.
So far not one Homosexual or Bi-Sexual has proven me wrong
You believe it goes one step farther. You're trying to prove gay men and women are one issue voters who will put all other concerns aside if favor of a candidate who supports same-sex marriage.
Nothing is ever that simple when you talk about an entire group of people. You need to start using words like, "generally speaking" " have a tendency to..." and "many seem to...".
You are correct---many other examples can be noted--abortion, Immigration are similar---in my opinion single issue voters are fools and selfish
I guess I go back to my original statement. I would not support someone who aggressively opposed same-sex marriage. But I would not vote for someone simply because they supported it.
Remember this conversation if that situation ever comes up in the future and ask me how I voted. :-)
