An inconvenient reminder. LOL

Marriage is manmade social convention. Marriage between blacks and whites was thought a perversion as well. Anything created by humans can be twisted by them.

Fine. Then let's seperate marriage from the state sponsored status. Remove marriage from the law, and replace it with civil unions. I don't really like the idea of a religious concept being so closely tied with the law anyhow.

if there is such a thing as reincarnation... i know what some ppl are comin back as...

while i think people are entitled to their opinions... i am sorry religion got its mitts on legislation so early in our history... and that people have been brainwashed by propaganda so sublime for so long.. it's indistinguishable from 2nd nature (for most).

No, because marriage is generally an agreement to start a family. A union with homosexual is only an agreement to engage in sexual perversion.

My marriage was not. Yet I was allowed to proceed. What should the plumbing matter?

I'd say generally is a bit of a stretch. There are numerous reasons as to why people get married, and these days there are many people that have children out of wedlock.

They can adopt. Women can use artificial insemination. There's no reason that a homosexual couple can't have kids.

i can see where you're coming from but i doubt married couples ONLY have sex to make babies EVERYTIME.

and besides, gay people make good parents... and they actually contribute to the solution for world overpopulation

With this post made in the 'Gay Pill' thread:

I don't think a pill would be required. If I wanted to be gay, I could be. But I'm never going to make that CHOICE.

Leads me to believe that you're trying to hide something. --Personally I really don't care, but at the same time would you please explain this? Are you in fact saying that any gay/bisexual urges that you feel are to be repressed because of religious/cultural upbringing, and that you would impose those religious/cultural values upon others irregardless of whether or not they do not share those values?

Well since my heterosexual husband and I married with no intention to ever have children, I guess we're just engaging in sexual perversion. That's fine. We like it. We engage in it often. And amazingly, the law let us marry because we were heterosexuals. Wow. It's just amazing. Oh and by the way, before you get all stuck on your reproduction theory, more and more couples are getting married and never having children. It's becoming more and more the norm.

Here you go:

married couples without children
under age 18 will account for nearly half of the net growth
in households over the coming decade. The rising number
of younger childless couples will strengthen the market for
smaller homes and rentals

From Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University

There many other studies saying the same.

No, I am not saying that, because I don't have any gay/bisexual urges.

I do not impose any values on homosexuals, they can be as perverse as they want. What I am against is supporting their perversion by allowing them to "marry".

But by viewing their sexual choice as a perversion (and I'm not sure why since the only reason you seem to have given is that they have sex for fun rather than a perversion) you are almost ineligable to have a reasoned opinion on the matter. It is like asking a klansman about racial rights.

so if i am infertile, i am not allowed to wed? and homosexuals can start a family through adoption (in liberal countries)
