Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Ok lets say I walk down the street with a sign that says F*CK or walk around shouting penis or swear and tell dirty jokes while old women and children walk past... If someone dosen't want to see me or hear me thats their problem right ??? Or if I arrest someone for the following ^ for being a public nuisance thats wrong right because they are not hurting anyone and are just expressing themselves?

Well the ones with the inflatable penises and vaginas are not making it any better for those who don't have them.

They have the same rights. Marrige is not a right, it is a privlage. The US constution says nothing about marriage. You don't need to be married to someone to stick your meat into their anus. You don't need to be married to leave your lover your poessions in your will.

I have yet to see any evidence to the contrary. All of the demonstrations of seen/read/heard about have these vulgar displays of sexuality.

And you're acting like that's not normal. But it is normal. Pagan fertility parades in ancient cities like Athens were exactly like this. A giant statue of a penis would be rolled through town and the virgins would throw flower petals on it.

Not entirely true. Don't married couple's receive tax breaks or some such thing? If so I am simply saying that either those tax breaks shouldn't exist at all, or if you want to keep them apply them to civil unions and then leave it up to the different Churches to decide whether they want to marry someone.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Well, I don't think that the vast majority of people marry for life just to get a tax break and a share of their partners possessions. But I suppose it does happen.
And why do they call it 'civil union'?

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Tax breaks for marriage serve a useful purpose. Gay marriage doesn't.

Those tax breaks are even more important in Europe, where they are desperately trying to get the native birthrate back up to par.

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Yeah, well a lot of things don't serve a purpose, but they're still here.

Examples?

Re: Do you Jim take John to be your lawfully wedded something or other?
 

Well, the first I can think of is useless questions like that one.
2) A one walkie talkie set
3) A two-legged stool
4) Debating a useless topic about uselessness.

Marriage is defined as the union of a MAN and a WOMAN.

Two men can not be "Married"

...Is nothing sacred?
