North Carolina Passes Amendment Banning Same-sex Unions

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Id disagree here - bad political humour is unfunny because it just parrots the party lines - good humour like above has a deeper message of underlining the stupidity of some arguments - in this case the same Arguments being used now to protest Gay Marriage were used 100 years ago to protest interracial marriage - something which is now generally accepted (in the West at least) - it didn't prove true then and so why will it now?

Your sexual preference are not the same as your race. One is a matter of outward appearence - the other is a mattert of how you choose to act. I say choose because despite your preferences your actions are choices.

Your example doesn't compute - especially in places where homosexual couples have access to all the same rights as heterosexuals, but the contract has a different name, like in the UK.

Agreed but we aren't talking the UK - the UK pretty much HAS Gay Marriage in all but name - the US doesn't and more specifically its North Carolina that has banned it

I think if you look you'll see that the "marriage" bit is the problem in the US - and Gays are pushing for it over here too.

I say "Gays" because "gay" has become an identity, there are quite a few homosexuals who actively don't want homosexual marriage for a variety of reasons - including believing as Frags and I do that it's just word play to support fantasy.

there's a nice phrase for this "If it quacks like a duck..." - what we have over here in the UK IS Gay Marriage - trying to pretend otherwise simple because it isn't actually called Marriage is silly - so why not call it Marriage? (basically that is the Prime Ministers stance on this matter)

Now trying to force Religious institutions to preside over such Marriages is going a bit far (they are trying that here) but that's a different matter entirely

Well, to Michael Jackson both issues were a choice.
