2004 Presidential Election.

Apparently those who invented the word "marriage" want to define it. Its interesting that these proceedings and all of the definitions being tossed around are being closely watched by the Mormons (remember that they faught a similar battle about state definition of marriage and lost it).

While I see why gays might wish for marriage to be recognized for them, most that I know would be thrilled to see equal unions be recognized. How many times have we all heard the phrase "immeadiate family only"? It sucks to go to the hospital and be told that you cant see your partner, or hear whats wrong, or sit in agony while the hospital tries to find a relative so they can get permission to do some life-saving act, or not be able to carry out their dying wishes.

Of course, as soon as that obviously important goal is reached, many of them would then move on to get marriage changed because they want to be married.

homosexual activities isn't the end of the world. It's only portrayed that way so that we can have someone to hate and blame for all our problems.

I heard a women say "We should kill all the homosexuals" as two lesbians walked by. I immediatly turned around and asked her if Cold-Blooded murder of innocent people was acceptable to her and if she would be willing to pull that trigger.

her reply "I REBUKE YOU!"

Some argument there, eh?

Anyways, I don't see a problem with homosexuals using the term marriage. I see a problem with this becoming "Seperate but equal" BS again.

Really, all of you out there that support banning gay marriage, apply it to yourself. Would you accept the banning of hetrosexual marriage? hell no.

Then look at this.

Once we start banning things and removing freedoms - despite our own views on it - it will spread into other areas. We could ban all marriage ceremonies that take place out of a church? Or how about those pesky common-law marraiges? Maybe while we are at it, we should elimate rights for children born in unfavorable Groups? how about banning marriage for immigrants? and people of other religious backings? why not also ban marriage for certain sects of one religion while we are at it?

The fact is, when one group of people start getting thier rights trampled, it's only a matter of time until that spreads to your rights and don't think anyone would be interested in helping you when that time comes.
