How can social conservatives be against this? Like abortion, this will further reduce Democrat voting base. We don't need gay people pretending to be straight, having children, and raising them to be Democrats.

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

This statement is despicable on multiple levels, and reflects poorly on you.

Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
It's interesting you quoted this instead of the abortion part. Anyway, not my words, and RVG is right.
But yes, onto SCOTUS. PJ's numbers are interesting but not entirely unexpected given the baby boomer vs. Gen X dynamic. I'm interested to see how that opinion changes over one's life.

Another counter-factual, nonsensical statement, although this time you manage to avoid slandering whole segments of the population, so we must be grateful for little mercies.
You posted what you posted.
Indeed. You speak truth. I feel sorry for people living in the closet, but that does not excuse them for the damage they inflict on others.

Should 2 heterosexual male best friends be allowed to get married?

There are plenty of sexless, childless heterosexuals marriges out there and in a decade all these fears about the family unit collapsing will prove to be unfounded and hollow

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
So, what's your answer? Should I take that to mean that any consensual 2 person relationship should gain tax and SS benefits?

Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
That would be bad, but are we really going to check up on people to see if they are "really married" the way we do with immigrants? Actually wasn't this the plot of some adam sandler movie?
Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
That Sandler movie pissed me off. How dare the government recognize the love between 2 men who diddle one another and not the love between 2 men who are best friends, or the "like" between 2 single men who have a mutual interest in sharing SS benefits as an old age hedge with one another.
BTW, why would that be "bad"?
My point is: "How dare me for limiting marriage between 2 heterosexual people of different gender? How dare you for limiting marriage to 2 people who are romantically attracted to one another!"

Generally gay people pretending to be straight tend to be the most hardcore conservatives. Senator Larry Craig comes to mind.How can social conservatives be against this? Like abortion, this will further reduce Democrat voting base. We don't need gay people pretending to be straight, having children, and raising them to be Democrats.
