Answer this question:

Why do gay couples normally have one partner playing the role of the man, while the other acquires the more feminine role?

So, you and the Mrs. are strictly missionary, under the covers, lights off, vanilla types?

Can't answer it either huh?

Nope. Frankly, I have no idea. Now, answer my question: What does it matter to you, and how is it relevant to whether or not two consenting adults can marry?

Don't like gay marriage? Don't marry a gay person.

This. Why should gays be allowed to escape the same laws as straights when things don't work out? I say they should be punished with marriage the same as the rest of us.

Once again, all they have left to debate is the actual term "marriage". This may be a sign that it is time for the right to give up and just concede with the Democrats on gay marriage.

Who is the right? Do you think religious people are all conservative republicans?

One way or another, it's gonna lose.

I can't think of a single Constitutional justification for banning it.

I'd like to hear from some of our resident legal beagles on that.

I agree there is no legal justification. My objections aren't legal.

I have personal objections to all sorts of things. That doesn't mean I get to tell the people who want to do them they can't.

I'm not telling anyone anything. I've said repeatedly I'll never call it marriage and I don't care what you or anyone else calls it.

So, if someone close to you comes out of the closet and invites you to the [insert neutral term for "wedding" here]?

I would not attend...

I wouldn't go and hope they respect my beliefs enough to still be friends. If not, no big deal.

That comment tell us everything we need to know about you. Very sad.

If you don't attend based on an ideological objection to the event itself, then don't expect to stay close.

No, that's all it is for gays. Gays don't believe in marriage, they want it for benefits.
