Is gay marriage the most important issue in the USA?

That's s lie. Homosexuals can not produce. What they can do is use the genetic material of someone of the opposite sex to create a baby but the homosexual couple themselves did not reproduce.
Homosexuals have kids every day. What makes you think homosexuals can't have kids? Are you a moron? Here's how it works.. Gay guy walks up to woman, says let's make a baby. She agrees they engage in coitus. Nine months later baby comes out. See how that works?

Wow, you should read the OP post. The thread isn't about test tubes and adoption

The thread is about the fallacy that the tax system rewards people for not having children...

...the truth is exactly the opposite.

No it's not, you idiot. First, you are in the wrong thread. Second, read my OP post. The thread is about the opposite, that the tax code rewards people for having children. What is wrong with you? What grade did you drop out of school?

The tax code rewards people for having children- regardless of whether or not the parents marry.
Regardless of whether or not the children are their biological children.

This thread is just about you wanting your marriage bennies, and having gay couples pay for them, while denying gay couples the same bennies.


gay couples can have the bennies, gay couples can make a legally binding commitment contract to each other, but a gay union is not a marriage, it is a gay union.

What you are trying to do by insisting on using the word "marriage" is to force societal acceptance of your sexual orientation as normal---------------but its not and never will be.

equal treatment under the law has nothing to do with the words used to describe your union.

Equal treatment is equal treatment- marriage is marriage.

And gay couples are marrying.

You do not have to accept it- you can deny that a gay marriage is a marriage to YOU- but that is merely your opinion.

A minority opinion that is getting smaller every day.
 
It's a deliberate distraction.


yes, the left is using the gay crap to take the attention away from obozo and his failures both dometically and internationally.

creating an obsession over the sexual deviancy of 2% of the population seems to be working for them so don't expect it to stop.

This thread was started to make people aware of what the left is doing with this divisive issue.

Its amazing that it took 264 pages to reach that logical conclusion.

264 pages of you arguing about gay marriage, after you told us all you were not going to argue about gay marriage anymore.

That is some obsession on your part.

Name this "special treatment".

Some of them are still upset at the special treatment women get by being allowed to vote.

OK, one more time

If gays can enter into a civil union that gives them the exact same rights and benefits as a man/woman marriage get, where is the unequal treatment?

The only difference is the word used to describe it.

THAT is my point, your crusade is NOT about equal treatment, its about the word "marriage"

You think that a gay union must be called a marriage because you think the use of the word makes it somehow normal human behavior. Its not, but most people are willing to acknowledge your right to commit to someone of the same sex and have the exact same rights as a man and woman in a marriage.

Until you admit what this is really about, it will never be settled.

Chickenfish lies. For HIM it's all about the word. Gays don't care what's it's called it just has to be the same for gay couples and straight couples.

But then Chickenfish wouldn't feel special and superior anymore.

OK, one more time

If gays can enter into a civil union that gives them the exact same rights and benefits as a man/woman marriage get, where is the unequal treatment?

Ahhh...

One more time.

Many of the States that banned SSCM's a decade ago also banned Civil Unions. For example from Virginia:

"Section 15-A. Marriage.

That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage."​


It wasn't the gays that voted against Civil Unions, it was those opposed to ANY legal recognition for same-sex couples that did that.

Only now that SSCM has been winning in the courts, winning in the legislatures, and winning at the ballot box is suddenly Civil Unions supposed to be an acceptable alternative. An alternative that wasn't acceptable 10 years ago when the anti-gay crowed was in power.

There is a saying, something about reaping what you sow.

so in your mind its only equal if the same word is used to describe it?

As I said, the issue with you on the left is NOT equal treatment, its all about the word and using the government to mandate societal acceptance of homosexuality as normal.


That is what this is about and anyone with a minimal amount of common sense knows it.

That is the true crux of the argument....They dont want the people to decide. They dont even want each states legislation to decide for their own state. What they want is to force their lifestyle and agenda on the whole country as a stepping stone to dismantle freedom of religion. The homosexuals are so desperate to be seen as normal they sold their freedoms to the progressive party to be used as tools.

What makes you think you understand the issue any better than anyone else? Do you suppose you have some special insights or knowledge that everyone else doesn't have access to?

You started a thread asking if this is the most important issue- and then have spent most of the last month arguing against gay marriage.

After saying you were done arguing about gay marriage.

If you really think this is the least important issue- start treating it like the least important issue- stop arguing about it.

Everytime you argue the merits of gay marriage you are reinforcing how important you think the issue is.

The last 4 times the people have voted, they voted in favor of gay marriage. Gay marriage would pass in California right now- but luckily, the courts led the way- because courts decide Constitutional issues- like the courts have decided the constitutionality of state marriage laws three times before.

The homophobes are so desperate to attack homosexuals that they are willing to ignore the Constitution to do so.
