you can say you are against civil unions.....however thats the exact same issue here because texas is still trying to make it harder for both civil unions & gay marriage's

GOOD. This is the south, where people still have morale and values.

yeah......the wrong kind (as usual)

Supporting two men or women getting married and accepting their lifestyle is disgusting and shows a lack of morale and class. The fact that you call that wrong goes to show exactly what kind of person you are, especially when you call it hatred. Nobody hates it, we just disagree with it. Liberal logic is unbelievable.

yeah we will never see eye to eye on this one.....

you dislike people without even meeting them simply because of who you are and want to deny them the same rights & benefits that you already have......

Yes of course... My favorite uncle is gay. Doesn't bother me a bit, his gay "friends" don't bother me a bit, I sleep just fine at his house when I visit, and three days ago, I found out my best friend up in the northeast is gay. Doesn't bother me a bit. I still do not, and will not support the marriage of two men or two women.

so johnnyzerO, you seem to be pretty adept at finding these irrelevant charts and graphs, including those that make it clear they are based on fiction, so how about fniding this one-

How many people does this affect? How many gay, out of the closet, married, military couples are there, that are being denied this special treatment on National Guard bases in the good State of Texas? 4? Perhaps, 5?

Make your case, find some numbers. Is it in the tens of thousands? Millions, perhaps?

Nobody cares. Talk about a naked political agenda.

oh so any perceived civil rights violations is irrelevant because it only happens to a few people? its not 5, the estimation from the article is over 1000.

but regardless of the estimation if its 1, 1000, or 10,000 IT DOES NOT MATTER because there is no excuse for this.

Estimation!!! Oh - okay. When the Federal Government uses the IRS to target conservative groups, if it's 1 or 1000 DOES NOT MATTER - except it's okay if it's for what you want. See how that works. I didn't see any threads you created about that issue voicing your indignation - and that was national in scope.

If Texas doesn't recognize same sex marrige - I guess those same sex marriage people can move to a state that does recognize it. Problem solved.

well no one should be forced to move to another state because their current state govt supports ignorance, bigotry, & hatred.

See, that's just your opinion. I'm sure there plenty of people that don't share your vision of ignorance, bigotry, and hatred. What if others don't believe in same sex marriage - just tough sh!t for them I suppose as long as your vision is met? BTW, I'm all for legal civil unions and believe that governments should stay out of the marriage business all together.......but it IS a state issue.

I agree with you 100%

Government should stay out of Marriage. It should be a personal issue. Their should be no tax breaks for married couples no government benefits for being married. It should purely be something personal between people.

this is coming dangerously close to your "i have a black friend" comment
