Yes I'm sure him agreeing with you has NOTHING to do with it :rolleyes:
You think acting high and mighty, saying he knows things but you dont, is "doing a good job"?? Also, hes saying things that dont make ANY sense if you read the last several pages.
Again, I'm sure him being on the same side as you has nothing to do with it at all
...No actually what I am saying makes perfect sense. You say because you have an opinion that gay marriage diminishes marriage there ought to be laws against it. Laws are NEVER made for that reason. Integration, emancipation, voting rights are all made for either one of two reasons. Economics (for the countries financial welfare) or rights (specifically those of the states or people). What you're talking about is neither rights or economics. In the case of gay marriage the debate is whether it ought to be a state issue or a federal issue. The catch on both sides is if its left up to the states we'll only have gay marriage in certain places, and if its left up to federal (most of Congress refuses to pass and amendment) there is a good chance some states will not side with either decision. So its a catch 22, do we allow only certain gay rights to be protected (in presumably Liberal states) or do we make these rights more concrete and risk restricting state power.
Your opinion on gay marriage has NOTHING to do with this though you seem to think so. Our government is not run by people, its run by interest groups and beauracracies who represent larger bodies of people. Your opinion may be represented by one of these groups but the Supreme Court, Congress and the Executive are going to attempt to consider all opinions and find an equitable solution, determine the constitutionality of such a decision. Not one that just suits you.
Now if you would like to present a more well thought out, backed up conclusion on what gay marriage ought to be in this country that would be different than just forming a bullsh** opinion. Your posts so far have signaled to me that you believe the governments job is to respond to your opinion, its not...its to find an equitable solution as I said. Other than using a talking point you have not explained in any degree of detail WHY you think what you think.
I am really not debating anyone here, because you have given me nothing to debate...you just said in essence "I don't like gays" and because of this somehow I am suppose to support your claim that it adversely affects marriage. What I am going to tell you, "You like gays, you're lying". Absolutely not, you just made a statement of personal opinion and then proceeded to act as if that is sacrosanct.

Wow looks like i hit a nerve, calm down man.
Why should only gay people "care" about same sex marriage? Why not everyone who gets married too?
The argument that "why do you care" or "you shouldnt care" about gays changing the law was silly to start with and still makes no sense.
Youre asking us why we should care about our law and what marriage is...
:rolleyes:
...I'm a little late with the response here, but I think I can still pull this off...
At this point, I understand that people care about stuff. I got it. But I feel like my opinion on the matter is totally inconsequential. The thing is that changing the law is not my responsibility, and so I shouldn't spend all day kvetching about how I think the law should be. I'm sixteen. I've got other things to worry about. Personally, I don't care. Sorry for trying to push that on you.

yeah but your saying that society has to dramatically cahnge over night or the should never change at all. change is gradual. just like inter racial marriage. one thing at a time.
No, if we are going to change marriage to allow whoever we want to marry whoever, then that has to also mean marrying family members, more then one, or YOU are telling those people they cant marry, but we only cared about gays to change it for them.
Its either for all of them or none, because if we change it you have no right to tell those other people they cant marry.

I know for a fact that women's undies make men's feel like chastity belts, so so nice....:o
and the odd pair of heels go nice with some flared jeans that i had, i actually had a impulse to buy a pair of heels the other day, oooooooo.
and some women's clothes are actually nice to try on and i keep thinking if i had some boobies, i would make a great woman, maybe a teeny on the butch side but you have to give and take if you want killer thighs and calves in that little dress, so it's all good.
and then you get the people that cross dress for odd nights out for fun in a joking manner, i dont think there is anything wrong with that, if anything the people that i have known to do it have been more sucessful with the ladies than on an average night out in proper gear (lowers inhibitions and shows a funny carefree side to your personality).
It all depends on the person, i don't think i'd be understanding of anyone else's devotion to it, nor do i think anyone else would be understanding of my teeny one to it. That's just the way that society crumbles this cookie unfortunately.
What i do have to say is REPECT for anyone who does go through it, it's hard but they're willing to put themselves up with the ridicule to be happy and not alot of people can do that, so it's a big thumbs up from me.

I come from an interesting perspective with this.
In Theater, it's not uncommon for guys to dress in drag for laughs. Even the non-theater audiences will laugh and cheer on these guys.
I have done it and I have to respect the guys who have done it--it takes a lot of balls to get on a short-dress and massive amounts of make-up and look semi-convincing.
It's also not uncommon to see girls dress up like guys--but that kind-of sucks, because they have to wrap their breasts up REAL TIGHT in order to achive semi-flat-chestedness, and it's really hard for them to breathe. :(

We have a fairly judgemental society, particularly when it comes to things of a personal nature. There's a lot of "my kink is okay, your kink is not" type of attitude out there which is too bad. EVERYONE has some sort of sexual quirk or kink that they are drawn to. Some people like feet. Others are infatuated with breasts, or even fetish objects like latex or leather or boots. Some people like pain, others like giving it and some people like both. Some folks like roleplay, others enjoy dressing as someone from the sex opposite of them. For many people, sexuality is an expression and exploration of who they are as individuals. It's an expression in freedom and even in escapism from their regular lives. It's a playground for adults who are willing to step outside of their usual selves and revel in what often represents the true core of themselves. As long as no one is being hurt (unwillingly, anyway ;) ) and it doesn't affect anyone elses life, why should anyone care? Especially when it's an almost certainty that deep down there's some secret kink or fetish of some sort that self-appointed judge & jury is harboring. Maybe if they'd learn to let go of their frustrations and explore their own fantasies, they wouldn't get so hung up on everyone elses? The original Puritans have been dead a long time, now, but somehow so much of their views on sexuality live on to this very day which I find relatively sad.

Homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted these days. Now, not all homosexuals are cross-dressers, and not all cross-dressers are homosexual, but in the mind of someone who is not knowledgable on the subject, they seem connected. Why is cross-dressing still seen as perverted and freaky?

:o
I wasn't speaking in terms of pro's and con's. My rant was more of a lament that people aren't accepting of other's predelictions. In my book, kink doesn't have to just be sexual in nature. For example, the exchange of power and pain in many BDSM relationships isn't overtly sexual in nature for many who participate in it. It becomes more of a spiritual quest where those scenarios and the giving and receiving of pain allow the people participating to transcend themselves and each other and simply "be" without all the other things in their lives getting in the way. It's a way to allow their true core to have center stage, and I have heard similar descriptions from cross-dressers or even foot fetishists who do what they do more out of those reasons (to just "be") than they do because they find it arousing.

well in that case it depens on whether the activity of cross-dressing is the be all and end all or perhaps the means to an end.
for some it's the dressing up and staying in gear which is the main emphaisis of what they do.
while for others it could perhaps just be a means to an end.
see it like this.
for a person who is heading off into town for a night out, the ritual of getting ready and getting dressed and going out and being above yourself and looking to go out is part and parcel of their night's experience.
while if you are getting up to just lounge, you just wear what you think is the most comfortable, and the getting dressed/escapism factor isn't there.
somethings are just more comfortable than others.
If you consider people who go out in public wearing other gender clothes, most likely it will only be the men dressed as women that are picked out. Aside from that, those men who decide that perhaps that they are in the wrong sex then go through the process of first having female clothing as a nice niche, then as time goes on, the novelty wears off and it just becomes comfort clothing and loses all aspects of either sexual arousal or social relief.
do you see where i'm getting at, i'm just trying to say it's not solely for release or arousal.
i don't have anything wrong to say about what you actually said, i just wanted you to have another scope on it if you didn't have it already.

I think you and I are both touching on one key thing and that is that "kink" in all of it's various forms, whether there's a primary sexuality component involved or not, is something that many use to get to and/or identify with the base core of who they are.

Gotchya. The circles I run in tend to use "kinky" as a more inclusive term to refer to a lot of things that fall outside the mainstream, so that may be where the confusion is coming from. Let me ask you, this, though; I'm sensing an aversion on your part to the word "kinky". Any particular reason? To me and mine, we really embrace and celebrate that word with a certain amount of pride. I can respect someone not identifying with it, no doubt, but I'm just curious as to the reasons is all.

To me and mine, we really embrace and celebrate that word with a certain amount of pride. I can respect someone not identifying with it, no doubt, but I'm just curious as to the reasons is all.

yeah i thought as much it was most likely a definition of the term kink or kinky at the end, hence why i added the colloquial definition part at the end of my statment.
yeah, calling someone kinky for me is the same as calling them weird or a freak, it's just a quick and easy way to separate yourself from them based purely on the fact that you are not able and unwilling to relate to certain parts of their life.
also for me kinkiness is only usually referred to something that leads to sexual arousal and gratification and i'm just trying to clarify that it isn't always the case with cross-dressers, and also clarify it's not always for the case of escapism and reassurance as well, or a eccentric outlet, that it maybe just maybe come down to a comfort preference.
if someone called you kinky for wearing a pair of trainers you felt comfortable wearing, wouldn't you find it strange?

Ahhhh, see, because I consider myself kinky though, I don't consider it a term equivalent with "freak" or "weird". In fact, I'd more associate terms like "enlightened" or "free" with it, and it's a word that allows me to quickly identify WITH people who have predelictions that fall outside the mainstream. As I alluded to already, I don't consider kink to be things that are only sexual or sensual in nature. However, I do realize that I come from a completely different place than the average person on this subject, so I understand your aversion to the term.

Marriage is a union between a man and a women. Are world has known that since the very beginning. This sudden spark in Gay marriage is just a fad. Simply, its not natural. no matter what your belief system is, its not natural. All you pro evolutionist should be shooting this idea down, but your the main ones supporting it. If "evolution" thought it was alright for men and men, or women and wommen to be together "evolution" would have devised a way for them to reproduce.
Another reason its wrong: Go look up the statistics on gay marriages.
used IV drugs and less than 25 years of age- HOMO 16% HETERO 1.5%
Engaged in prostitution- HOMO 24% HETERO 0.66%
Having a lifetime STDs prevalence- HOMO 70% HETERO 4%
Percentage of Alcholholism- HOMO 27% HETERO 11%
Median number of partners- HOMO 38 per year HETERO 4
Having a brief or no knowledge of partners- HOMO 90% HETERO 2.8%
Involved in whipping, sadism or masochism- HOMO 21% HETERO 4%
Of those with HIV, having anogenital warts- HOMO 92% HETERO 5%
Of those not having HIV and having anogenital warts- HOMO 76% HETERO .88
Acquired multiple wart virus subtypes, within 17 months- HOMO 75%
Involved in 'rimming'- (mouth to anus contact) HOMO 61% HETERO 1%
Having anal pre-cancer- HOMO 18% HETERO 0.03%
Having HIV- HOMO ( < 25 years 10%, > 25 years 24% ) 21.8%
Average age of death from AIDS- HOMO 35.7 years
Expected average life span- HOMO 45 years HETERO- 74 years
And can you believe that over 57% of the marriages that have been approved in the past year have resulted in divorce. I know thats ruffley about 10% higher than Heterosexual marriages. BUT ITS ONLY BEEN A YEAR. how many of them will be divorced in 2 years or 3 years.

You don't leave much room for the emotional side of things do you? Should all marriages result in reproduction? Is that the sole reason for a relationship?

Actually they found a love the didn't know existed in the opposite sex. They can have those same emotions, but they should get them from the right places.

"Oh noes! A straight couple doesn't want to have kids!! And look over there! It's a gay couple!!! Mankind will be extinct because of those 2 couples!"
There are still plenty of straight couples that have children. Mankind will not become extinct because some straight couples don't have kids, or even if the law allows for same-sex marriages
yeah, it's not like there aren't other ways to have kids. if that's a couple's goal, there's always adoption and in vitro fertilization.
We're going the adoption route ourselves. But I never wanted to put the condition of our marriage on having children. My wife can't have them though it is something she wanted more than anything, and I refused to make her feel any less of a person because of that. I was always fine with it if it couldn't happen. We tried other methods, but her system didn't react well to fertility drugs and in vitro is very expensive and not a sure thing at all. Adoption is also expensive, but since we are adopting from China, it is as sure of a thing as you can get. There are many reasons why a couple chooses not to have children, and not all of them are selfish. And when you look at the rash of teen pregnancies, unwanted babies and whatnot, it makes me a little angry that people can take the ability to do so for granted. I would never seek to down anyone who made a conscious choice to not have children though. It is simply not my place to do so. Making a relationship work and be long lasting isn't easy. And it certainly doesn't need the added pressure of what other people expect of you. If two people, whatever combination of sexes they may be, can and want to try, then let them. How much skin does it really take off your back?(I don't mean you, just those who oppose it)
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but that's my take on it.

on this thread its about love and emotion and children arn't the most important thing.
its just funny. look, I don't believe its wrong to NOT have children. I was just trying to prove a point in a way that might relate more with what evolutionist believe.
Look at the lifestyles that over 90% of gay people live, yea those are the people (for the most part, not stereotyping just using stats) I want raising future generations.
I accept that the theory of evolution explains the diversity of life that we see on this planet, but it doesn't explain the sole reason that I want to be with my wife.

We're going the adoption route ourselves. But I never wanted to put the condition of our marriage on having children. My wife can't have them though it is something she wanted more than anything, and I refused to make her feel any less of a person because of that. I was always fine with it if it couldn't happen. We tried other methods, but her system didn't react well to fertility drugs and in vitro is very expensive and not a sure thing at all. Adoption is also expensive, but since we are adopting from China, it is as sure of a thing as you can get. There are many reasons why a couple chooses not to have children, and not all of them are selfish. And when you look at the rash of teen pregnancies, unwanted babies and whatnot, it makes me a little angry that people can take the ability to do so for granted. I would never seek to down anyone who made a conscious choice to not have children though. It is simply not my place to do so. Making a relationship work and be long lasting isn't easy. And it certainly doesn't need the added pressure of what other people expect of you. If two people, whatever combination of sexes they may be, can and want to try, then let them. How much skin does it really take off your back?(I don't mean you, just those who oppose it)
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but that's my take on it.
my wife and i are also considering adoption. my wife and her sister were both adopted and my wife is kind of scared of the whole birthing process. we're not ready to have kids right now and aren't 100% certain we ever will, but we have discussed adoption. it's funny you mention china because we've also discussed the possibility of adopting a girl from there. with their society's view of females and the procreation laws, it makes sense. plus, little asian girls are utterly adorable. :)

that was either a very un-thought out or un-intelligent response. So you are basically saying N E thing can be natural. So a father and daughter getting married would be natural by your deffinetion. You have to stick to what is OBVIOUSLY RIGHT AND NATURAL or where will it end??? with fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters, how about brothers and brothers. Which by the way, in the mist of all this gay marriege talk has already taken place in Navada.

I don't think I ever wanna have biological kids, but I'd consider adopting. Kids once they hit about 3 or 4 I can deal with. You can actually communicate with them, and they aren't 100% dependent upon you to function. They can feed themselves, clean themselves etc. Kids are okay, its the "baby stage" I don't like.

It's a long process with loads of paperwork and other loops that you have to jump through. It's funny, (well, no it isn't but...) couples who do it "naturally" don't have to do anything. There's no qualifying set of standards that govern who has kids in that manner. But adoption? Whoa, you get screened by a social worker, the FBI, and the local authorities, fingerprinted, poked and prodded by a doctor(Yes we had to have physicals) just so we can have a child. Now, don't get me wrong. I understand why it happens, but I think that everyone should have to go through it to have children. I do think that it will all be worth it once we pick her up. It will definitely make you appreciate it more and might weed out those who probably shouldn't be parenting them.

And my opinion of same-sex marriage is "Since it doesn't affect me in any way, shape or form, if 2 people of the same gender want to marry, I don't see a problem."
The churches cannot be forced to conduct same-sex marriages if they refuse to on their beliefs, since the "Free exercise clause" in the first amendment forbids the government from telling churches what to believe.

That was my point. For centuries, if you wanted to get married, you had to rely on the church. I believe it was around the 19th century that the state started performing weddings.
Now, the church isn't the sole place for weddings to take place, nor is it the only entity that recognizes a marriage contract. I see no problem with that.

I can understand religious marriage being between a man and a woman if that is their belief, but like you say Addendum, marriage is not just a religious institution in our society. It is also a state-backed institution, and I don't see how you can justify the state which is bound by the Constitution not allowing people of the same sex to marry.
Its a violation of the 15th Ammendment which says everyone has to be equal under the law regardless of such things as race, religion etc.

My problem is if the government forces churches to administer same-sex weddings. That action violates the "free exercise clause" which is part of the first amendment in regard to religion.
It should be up to the churches to administer same-sex weddings, if the law of the land is changed to allow same-sex weddings in the country. The government should not and must not tell churches what to do.

Yeah. Because homosexuals are, you know, human beings just like the rest of us. I really don't see how two men or two women being married is going to really affect anything, or anyone.
They can't get married now but homosexuals are still together and trying to get along. It's not like homosexuality is going to stop one day or something.
We've got too many politicians and "government officials" making decisions based on their religious beliefs, and last time I checked you can't do that.
Some people are afraid of what's different. Afraid of someone with a different colored face and afraid of people who like the same sex. So what do these lovely people do? They make these people feel outcasted and unaccepted in society because they're different.
And these people are supposed to be religious and love God? Pft. Typical American hypocrisy at work as usual. :up:

They don't think that these people are human beings and also would like an emotional relationship with one another just as a heterosexual man can have with a woman.

This is another arguement against gay marriage that I HATE.
Just because YOU don't want homosexuals to raise children doesn't mean THAT'S the way it should be in the world.
Last time I checked "All Men Were Created Equal". If we're going to lay down these sayings then we need to practice what we preach instead of being afraid of anything that is different.
They should change that saying to "All Men were Created to be Hypocritical". Because that's all that happens here in America. A bunch of hypocrites running this country.
I have no problem with homosexuals. I have a few friends that are. If I'm free to choose my lifestyle, they're free to choose theirs. If that means they want to get married to someone of the same sex, then I personally don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to.

Now I'm kind of conflicted on the raising kids thing, now I mean if a gay couple adopted a child. I can't say that I wouldn't support that, at least the child will have someone to care for them even if it's two sword swallowers.
It's hard to really be against a child gaining a family even a gay one.

It's kind of humorous how you put that. But, once again, what does them having to be "sword swallowers" have to do with raising a child?
There are some heterosexual couples that have children and they are into very weird sexual activities. Like swingers and group activity.
So, it's OK for a heterosexual couple who's into kinky sex acts to raise children, because they're heterosexual and that's FINE. But a homosexual couple can't. Because they're of the same sex?
It just boggles my mind at how ridiculously close minded people are. :O

It's cool. Ultimately I'd rather a orphaned child have two dads who love them than no family at all.

Heh, It was funny..and you got a point and I agree.
Like I've said before, if you allow gay marriage then you have to also allow polygamy.

I think if two men or two women can't get married, then neither can a man and woman.
What makes gay couples different from hetrosexual ones?

No. Marriage is the wedlock of two people, not the wedlock of man and woman.

Yeah it's a traditon. It's also the true definition of marriage. A union between two people of the same sex isn't the true definition of a marriage. I could care less if they get civil unions.

Quit trying to run other people's lives. A man and and a man getting married or a woman and a woman getting married in no way impacts your life or society in general. They won't produce children but that is a personal decision regardless of the genders involved. If it was a man and a woman its not like we legally obligate them to have children. Many couples choose not to, and I don't see anyone wanting to make them divorce.

Polygamy is actually a more beneficial union than monogamy for mankind as a species. It facilitates greater crossbreeding and, therefore, greater diversity in the gene pool.

No, it can't. Consenting adults- that is the standard. It cannot lead to people marrying animals because animals are not adult human beings obviously and it won't lead to people marrying children because children aren't adults who can take part in a marriage anyway.

With the latest news of the gay marriage ban being pushed by conservative forces and the new law which prohibits demonstrating at soldiers funerals, while the law making body turned a blind eye towards it when it was done to funerals of homosexuals in the past, I start to think that gays in america cannot hope that their rights are adequately represented and defended by american law making and enforcing bodies.
The question is what could the gay community do to give their members a sense of security and to ensure that they will get justice? I personally believe it is high time that the gay community does something similar to the black community when they decided to create the Black Panthers Party, meaning, getting fire armes to protect themselves and their loved ones against law enforcement organisation and other groups as well as individuals who are openly anti-gay, with violence if necessary. It's obvious that no one else will protect their rights as citizens so they have to do it themselves.

this is pretty ridiculous. there's no way the gay marriage amendment is going to pass. it's just another divisive political move to help mobilize the republican party's conservative base prior to this year's elections. gays will eventually be more and more accepted by society, like blacks were after the civil rights movement. we just need to ride out this oppressive neo-con regime and maybe start getting better public education accross the country. plus, the more old-school christian conservatives that die off, the more progressive the country will become. it'll take another 50 years, or so, and if the world hasn't been destroyed by global warming, gays will be almost completely accepted by society. it's sad that it'll take that long, but that's probably how it will happen.
