What makes your views on this the one's that are right? Who made you the grand protector of the institution of marriage?

Once upon a time black people had no rights. That existed for hundreds of years, does that make it right? No, and with time that changed. Same for womens rights. Now over time that changed too. So the argument that because it hasn't always been that way is bogus. Things change, thats the nature of life. If you're to set in your ways to change i suggest you find a country that supports your single mindedness and move there.

Changing marriage won't magically make everyone believe that what they are doing is right if they didn't feel that way before. It's not a cure-all panacea.

Why not change marriage. They're human beings just the same as you and I. If 2 people in a relationship love each other, why should it matter whether they're of the same sex or not.

So are you saying that if a male/female marriage isn't able to have a child they shouldn't be allowed to be married? Does that mean that mean that are sterile aren't natural and should be shunned? Or how about women that can't give birth? And it would seem that the gay/lesbian population is growing whether or not they can get married or if they can reproduce. So even by limiting marriage to the traditional definition gay and lesbian people are born everyday.


This all being said, Adam normally i don't say much about your views, but on this one your dead wrong. If you were to treat a visible minority like this, they'd scream racism, this is no different. If they don't affect how you live their life, why do you care what they do with their lives. Let them live their lives in peace. Stop forcing your views on them.

This isn't a personal attack on you Adam, but I write this as an attack on anyone that is small minded enough that they can willing discriminate against a group for only asking for what everyone else in our society can have.
