    You see Tuff the biology argument was also used against inter-racial marriage.

    The fight for gay couples to marry mirrors other fights for rights, like inter-racial marriage, freedom from slavery, civil rights, woman's rights. All of these started with people like yourself resisting the change. History shows us that all of these people were on the wrong side in the end.

    Perhaps you should look at your stance on this issue. Letting gay couples marry will not affect your life, or your marriage. You are on the wrong side of this.
    Those things that you've quoted all required amendments, they were decided by the legislature. Oh man! You mean the legislature is capable of doing that?! It's been so long since I have heard of them making any social policy that I had forgotten what we were capable of!

    Sounds like a pretty weak personal judgment call. Is that your argument? That it is icky? It hasn't worked on our end - I hope you fare better. I see dogs taken everywhere, they inherit money and property - they have great personalities, they are loyal, they don't ask for much, and they are sex machines - sounds like the ideal partner to some people.

    Most of western society claimed that marriage was between a man and a woman too. Take a few foundational blocks out and it won't be such a simple sentiment to keep.

    All of these questions go beyond marriage. They touch on government by the people, what the constitution means, what are people allowed to decide regarding their own government, Can the government promote a reasonable ideal, etc.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
