tonyc16 4 months agoFirst legalizing interfaith marriages would destroy the sanctity of marriage. Then legalizing interracial marriages would destroy the sanctity of marriage. Next it was legalizing divorce would destroy the sanctity of marriage. Last I saw people are still getting married. It has no effect on your life and on who you choose to marryAnti gay marriage camps need a new line. The “sanctity” line has been used to death.

Becky J 4 months agoYou know what? No-one has a monopoly on marriage. You don’t get to tell people they can’t get married any more than you get to tell people they have to. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t marry someone of the same sex. That really is as far as your say in the matter stretches.

Darumaka 4 months agoMarriage, in this context, is a contract between two people and the state. All you have to do to get married is go to the courthouse and get a license and then a certificate saying you are now a married couple. Unless the couple so chooses, there is no religious affiliation at all. So there’s that, I guess. Also, I personally am enjoying how all the anti-gay marriage protesters seem to have misspelled their signs.

I just hate arguements against gay marriage that have anything to do with god or nature. My God isn’t hateful. Stop shoving YOUR god in my face. And there are multiple instances of homosexuality found in nature including dolphins and peguins. Pipe the eff down about nature when you’re not even paying attention to nature!
