It is my opinion that they should be able to do anything that straight people can do. The fact that we are restricting them from getting married reminds me to much of the restrictions we placed upon women and blacks which most people would agree were terrible. I would also like to point out that I am not gay, I just believe in the freedom of the people.
Feel free to post the opposing side of this as always.

If you rearrange lliaTroff it almost becomes fail troll and quite frankly I think that's what you are.

A. Humans are animals - quite obvious really (Psst, We're mammals)
B. You know what your 'genetic disorder' bullcrap is? It's bullcrap!
C. I was informed that eating other humans was called Cannibalism and it's generally frowned upon by Human Rights activists and non-cannibals.

And at last, humans are not animals, I mean sharks are allowed to eat humans, why can't we? Don't be ridiculous.


You don't be ridiculous. How does this seriously have any relevancy towards homosexuality?

Oh, and yes. Humans are animals.

I think I'm going to decide to be a homosexual christian and I want to be married by the pope in the sistine chapel. Think they'll go for it? I mean, they do preach about love and tolerance.

Because our Constitution states that any provision not provided by the Constitution or any subsequent amendments falls on the states to determine for themselves. Since there is no amendment to the Constitution regarding marriage then it falls on the state to determine what they will or will not recognize


I hope I'm not the only one who finds this flawed in so many ways. I might be being biased here, but either way I prefer my style of government. (A patriotic Canadian that'll get you wondering)

The original intention was to promote a small central government with very limited power. The founders of the US did not believe that a large and powerful government was in the best interests of the people and saw great opportunities for the manipulation of such a system so that's why have our system of checks and balances as well as providing for many decisions and laws to be made at the state level.

No? No what? Perhaps you would like to elaborate. Perhaps explain your position and your reasoning behind it. Otherwise you have nothing to contribute to the thread so please quit with the useless posts.

It looks nice on paper, but the practice has led to, in my opinion the ability to descriminate against minorities with ease. Again I point to California who had legalized gay marriages but rescinded when parts of the population grew upset over the law.

And that's different that if it had been allowed and then rescinded at a national level? That issue affected only California, not the other 49 states, and there are some states that still allow and openly recognize same sex marriage. That would not be the case if it were up to the federal government, I can assure you of that.
