Forums → WEPR → New Hampshire Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

Don't worry guys, despite the turning tides, on a forum we need dissenters who stay steadfast in the face of mounting criticism to keep the forums lively. I'd hate it if this forum turned into, say, one of those giant yes-man crowds or, say, a giant circlejerk...I think I should stop there because I'm starting to get grossly inappropriate...

Except that in the end there might be a couple states that just won't budge.

What about Texas??

circlejerk

Like Texas :P

I don't think same sex marriage will ever be nation wide. There is so much hate from a lot of groups of people. Though i wish i could say, "nah, it'll be all cool in a bit" i won't because of all the hating in thew USA

Alaska is bigger than Texas?!

Yep. Texas is the second largest state.

Lol I screwed up with the quoting there.

But yeah, I see a problem with the Midwest as well. Texas may take a long time to switch sides.

Wow, I must have feel asleep when they taught us that at school.

Just wondering, is Texas mostly Republican and thats why you think they'll take a long time to switch??

Why is it such a big deal they should be able to marry if they want to.

This is a little off topic...but does anyone else find the grouping of transsexuals in with homosexuals, male and female, strange? I mean...aren't the things the homosexual community experiences vastly different then that of transsexuals?

I don't know why people hate same sex marriages so bad. It is their choice.

Actually Texas was predominately Democratic until the 20th century...I think it is possible it won't take very long for it to change considering the margins in some areas during the presidential elections.

However, it is still predominatly Republican. The map below is a county by county breakdown of Texas in the last presidential election. You'll see that even though Barack had much more support than normal in the rest of the country, Texas seemed to not differ as much.



This shows that the republicans in Texas are for the most part not as moderate as the rest. They won't be as easily swayed.

Sorry, messed up quotes. Mine should be unquoted.
