Gay marriage?

[Martin Blank]

Of course there are. However, you'll find that I'm one to correct mis/disinformation on both sides of an argument.

The main point that those against gay marriage make is that it will change the traditional foundations on which our society is based. However (and not to impugn those against gay marriage too much), the same arguments have been made before about desegregation and the civil rights movement. There were those that were uncomfortable with the changes not because they were necessarily anti-black, but because they were afraid of the change that would come over society, that it was unpredictable, and to some extent, they were right. Nobody knew how it was going to work, but sometimes it's more important to do what's right despite the potential chaos. Society always sorts itself out, though it may take a little while to do so.

I have to know...why should people take interest in what everyone else is doing with their lives and try to influence morals on everyone else for the sake of simplicity?

The biggest problem has to do with the monetary system, the Beauracracy, and religion. People (of the western religions) want to put on a good show for the God they've made, by doing what they think is morally correct. Just let the two nice people live together and acknowledge that they are together without all the red tape associated with being officially recognized by one group of people or another and claiming your affiliation.

Let those who wish to get married, get married..it's not that hard.

I wonder how some of you can teach tolerance and accepting others while openly mocking Christianity.

[Killer-Rabbit]

The only Christians that I mock are those that try to force their beliefs onto me. And its not so much mocking as it is questioning their beliefs and watching them squirm as they try to come up with answers.

Besides I was never talking about teaching tolerance, I was strictly looking at the constitution. Legally not allowing gay marriages is a form of sexism. I dont see how you can prove otherwise.

Uh, you're confused about the definition of "sexism". Here, let me help: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sexism

[Martin Blank]

His words fall under definition 2: "Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender."

It's forcing women into a social role of carrying on a long-term relationship with only men, and vice versa, denying them the benefits and social status gained from being married.

Such as the marriage tax?

No, I know what you mean, though. I feel exhausted of caring about the issue, which I believe is the main goal of those pushing homosexuality as a positive thing.
