If you want to get married get married. You just want government recognition…in other words the “money” and the “we must like you”. The “money” is for the kids, not something gays are predisposed for generally. Sure there are exceptions, but deal with it, like everyone else. The “we must like you” is just your own insecurity.

I live my life by my way, and I can deal with almost anyone without demanding to be liked, and without being sponsered by the fucking government.

Grow the fuck up.

Also, Jeff, why would I not call you bigoted and homophobic when your position in this debate ultimately amounts to “this group of people shouldn’t get the same rights I do.” You can’t sugar coat it. I know you’ve heard people compare this to blacks being able to marry whites and other similar rulings in American law, and the analogy is apt. When you strip away all the distracting language, that’s what it boils down to. That is, unless I understood your position wrong and you’re not a Christian against gay marriage. But if you are, you’ve got to realize how problematic your position is. If they don’t have the right to marry because of God’s law, well, why are they allowed to do anything? Why don’t we just round up all the homosexuals and deport them? You say God doesn’t tell you to go that far? I’m sorry to say it, but he is. So don’t subscribe to this religious and political belief unless you’re willing to carry it to its logical conclusion. I’m amused at how few Christians I see practicing their faith truly, otherwise they’d be preventing every gay marriage they say by physical force.

Awesome read. I understand the hesitancy associated with lashing out against theocratic right-wingers because I’m always measuring my words in this debate before I say them. I mean, in your rebuttal to all the ridiculous anti-gay marriage talking points, you can’t throw all those flimsy facts and trends into your argument. Further, you can’t get angry at them for this outrage because then they cleverly turn the tables on you and pull out the term “bigoted” and “hate monger.” But that attitude is fast fading with me. Christianity (and Middle-Eastern, monotheistic influences in general like Judaism and Islam) has been calling the shots for centuries. Millenia, even. All sorts of evils and injustices have been forced upon the world in the name of God, and this is something religious apologists always try to wiggle out of.

“But atheist dictators have done just as much to harm humanity, if not more!” they’ll say. Yeaaaaah, that “fact” flies in Southern homeschooling families. When we look at history, it’s clear that God trumps man. So today, in what I always imagined as a kid to be an enlightened age, it ultimately amounts to enough is enough. I’m tired of Christian dogma playing any role in our laws, and I’m ready to push back. I say you hold the line and remember your own words – when we’re looking back at this period of American history in 50 years, do you want to be compared to the Christians during the Civil Rights era who said, “Not my race, not my problem?”

I also didn’t intend to bring atheism up as any sort of panacea to religious dogma in constitutional law – I’m just of the opinion that the fewer infallible skyfathers you try to please, the more equal your law and country becomes.

With all due respect, Queen of Spain, what I see here is you using religion as a legitimate reason for your own beliefs. I’m not here trying to tell you that you’re not allowed to believe as you will, but please don’t call me “bigoted, homophobic, [and] evil” for believing differently. That, to me, sounds much more bigoted than anything I’ve heard from anyone that supported (and continues to support) Proposition 8.

Thanks for sharing your 2¢; hopefully you’ll respect mine.

Hi Nemo.

I stand by my emotions. I stand by what I said. I stand by the fact that this election and the issues in this election had everyone screaming and yelling.

I have not changed how I feel about the subject. I would change how I said it outloud. The message would remain the same.

I think there are those truly using religion as a legitimate reason for THEIR OWN beliefs and I think there are those truly using it for evil. Bigoted, homophobic, evil.

Oh, and next time. Feel free to leave your blog link or an email, as is common place when commenting.

I’m sorry, who’s the pussy?

what a pussy. First, you dare to go ahead and say all that shit with hatred and anger with your justifications, and then go on with an apologetic voice and say “oops, this may cause more damage than good.” Rather more damage than you intended to be portrait in your mascaraing of the color of the eye you are looking at this with. Please if you are going to hate, especially on the mormons dont be an asshole and say im sorry afterwords, as though there were no reprecautions to what you said earlier. So if you can be as ignorant as to rant and post, please stand to your true feelings, or shit in your pants like the baby you seem to want to be with your contradictory views.
