Supreme Court hears arguments for Gay Marriages

[AwdGSX13]

It's a slippery slope to call any of these an illness if you're willing to exclude others. People are often times born liking what they like out of no control of their own. Society is slowly becoming more accepting of things outside the norm so who's to say, for example, beastiality isn't next? All are unnatural, but there are still plenty of people who enjoy/crave/want/seek it.

good way of putting it.

What is normal and natural? Everyone has their own definition, that is true.

Also what is being broken here, the sanctity of marriage itself?

Because if that's true, then should divorce be illegal? Should strip clubs be illegal since that's a form of prostitution? Capital punishment? Where do you narrow down anything really, it all comes down to a collective society of whats acceptable and whats not. Obviously the people are speaking out because as a whole they feel gay marriage is now acceptable. Sure some wont like it, but you cant make everyone agree on everything.

I could not agree with this sarcastic statement more. This is so not important that it shouldn't even be at the Supreme Court level. Let them get married, be happy or be miserable. This shouldn't even be an issue.

Ha, this is not what I meant by this statement. I don't agree with gay marriage one bit, but I'm all for gay civil unions, or make up something altogether different, I don't really care. Marriage has been defined for thousands of years, no need to make sweeping changes for the whims of 1% of our population.

I was actually poking fun at the way the world is going to shit by the minute, monthly riots and looting in the US over known criminals, beheadings, possible nuclear threats, and Barry keeps saying GW is our biggest threat. Perhaps the biggest non-issue of all.

I knew what you were trying to say, and whether we agree or not on the topic, we both know that there are much bigger things the govt should be focusing on.

Its funny how you can deny science in one thread, but evolution through natural selection is ok with you... oh wait you probably dont believe that but just stated it.
Humans will not go extinct due to gay marriage. No one is forcing everyone to all of the sudden become gay. its just not a problem that modern society will see.
Like peter said, its not something you can stop, and you can fight it all you want, but it doesnt matter. It will get passed, and that will be the end of it.

I believe in science, just not manipulated for an agenda science, there is a big difference. You might wake up and see that one day.

You misunderstood my comments. Of course the human race will not go extinct due to gay marriage. But through natural selection the LGBT community should, with all things being equal, because two men or two women can't reproduce together on their own.

Don't be so sure about it becoming law just yet. The SCOTUS can't right law, they can only undo a law they find unconstitutional. And saying that marriage is between a man and a woman is not unconstitutional.

But you would freely admit that your gay child would have a mental illness, right?



Pot, kettle, black. You assume I'm a lefty like Tom, but your assumption is dead wrong.

My personal attacks don't come from me being a lefty or righty. They come from me being an all-around 100% American asshole. :smile:

Yes. :violin:

Not from what I see in your post. :fish'D:

I agree. :)

Why not call it an illness... because its not. Not the same as pedophiles, pyros and beastiality.

And as a collective society, I would bet you the silent majority out number the LGBT community many times over. All we see and hear are the 1% screaming for wants,....

This ^^ especially at the SCOTUS level.

Speaking of which, the other day on Netflix streaming, under the "Popular On Netflix Now" category was a movie called Scrotal Recall, made me do a double take...
