Marriage!

Marriage has 1,138 federal rights.

Civil unions only have 300 state rights.

Separate but equal, hmm where have we heard that before?!
 
Separate but equal is NOT equal. Because the reason people would separate gay people is based on homophobia and bigotry.

We didnt force interracial couples to get CIVIL UNIONS. Atheists marry and we don't force THEM to get civil unions.
 
My two cents..Love is love..it doesn't matter who it is rather it's straights or gays. You can't help who you fall in love with. I think they should have the same option us straight people have. Marriage, kids the whole package. WHy shouldn't htey have the same respect. If my daughters parenter was to be in the hosptial my daughter wouldn't be allowed any say or these other couples that have been to gether many many years. Give them the same rights
 
To be compare, UK and some EU countries are already offers civil unions or other partnership rights to gay couples.

For me, it's ok to grant an civil unions for gay couples based on state's decision but not marriage, I'm believe into traditional marriage, on between one man and one woman and my views has some change after shifted to Christian.

It should be up to state but not federal.

No question asked.

How can you say that you believe in equal rights for gays and lesbians but turn around and say "no" to their right to marry?

Secondly--it's okay for heterosexual to be married at the federal level but leave gays/lesbians at the state level? All you are creating is more divisions.

Traditional marriage doesn't exist anymore. Ward and June Cleaver don't exist anymore--never had and never will. :roll:

I don't care if you don't like my decision.

If you don't like it then don't discuss with me. :roll:
 
When you drag your views into the public spectrum, you will be questioned on them.

That is called a DEBATE.

If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

Why post your opinion then?

I agree what Brad said:

No, due to other thread that mod said, everyone and I need respect in this section.

This thread isn't under in on-topic debate section but under GLBT section, also you don't have any respect to members whoever disagree with views on gay marriage, members has rights to not discuss or answer your question for matters of reason.

I have much of respect to GLBT community, including support anti-discrimination, opposing the FMA, ban on gay marriage at federal level and it does violate state's rights and know that some gay and lesbian can't change their sex orientation, it's all of their business but don't like imagine of marriage for gay people and civil unions would better in sense, that's my belief.

Not every states are same when come to culture and religion, remember, religion discussion aren't allowed in this forum then I can't discuss with that.

If you or other members who push me into something like that then I could lose any respect in gay community.
 
WRONG.

Marriage is a FEDERAL issue, NOT a state issue.

Why? Marriage: 1,138 FEDERAL RIGHTS.

Heterosexual marriages are federally recognized, it is HYPOCRITICAL not to FEDERALLY recognize SAME-SEX marriages.

If people not e-kissing your arse makes you lose respect for people, you need to re-evaluate if you want to debate.
 
Separate but equal still ain't equal, and the only reason people want gays to have civil unions is based on hate and homophobia. GLBT people should NOT settle for second best just because "gay is icky" for some people. End. of. Story.

Who cares? I don't need listen to your whine about want more rights, you can fight on your own and you don't have respect from me, I will not change my way, period.
 
AKA: I am giving you the FACTS, which you are calling WHINING because you have no good rebuttle argument.

This has nothing to do with respect, it has to do with you sticking your head in the ground and ignoring a good argument. Marriage has federal rights, it is a federal issue. Thanks for the easy debate, sweetcheeks.
