NYC Supreme Court Decision on Gay Marriage - Oh Happy Day! — Page 3

Yeah, I understand the feeling you meant to present.



As for me, I think this is the OPPOSITE of the world moving in the right direction.

Adam, you are not wrong. But I've heard so many people (including Gay/Lesbian people) make statements predicated on the idea that G/L couples "can't have kids"--but we can adopt, we can do in-vitro, we can organize non-traditional families living under one roof (some gays, some lesbians, some kids, some cats, etc.).

The point is, being gay/lesbian doesn't make you sterile--it just makes you cool.

I don't think I've ever been more proud of being a New Yorker. This is such FANTASTIC news! Ohmygod, I have to go tell everyone!

careful with Adamaddict, folks. She has made it clear that she is anti gay marriage in another thread. It must have been agonizing seeing Adam Pascal in that musical with the faggots.

Exactly. And her posts about too bad gays can't have kids. Such BS.

There is NO inherent reason why gays and lesbians shouldn't be allowed to be married. NONE.

The whole point of being gay is....I DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED!

If I wanted to get married I'd marry a girl?

I'm not so glad I live in a non-progressive state like Virginia.

Well first, YAY! That is amazingly exciting news and I'm as happy as a straight girl who's under marrying age can get. This news renewed my faith in at least some parts of this country.

Second, not sure where to post this so be patient. Virginia is trying to pass a law that will ban GSA's from schools because they "promote sexual behavior". Of course, everyone can see through this clearly shoddy excuse, including my school GSA where my best friend Allison (the G in GSA) and I (the S) have been getting petitions signed. I don't think it will be passed, since it's just so far fetched, but encouraging thoughts/ angry letters are welcome!

Wait. Franco, you're gay because you don't want to get married?
Uh, you sure it doesn't have to do with that bizarre attraction you feel for members of your own sex?
The most important thing about this ruling is not that you have to get married, just that you can if you wish.
Oh, yeah, and adamaddict: don't poop the party, dear. The gays are happy right now but you don't want to turn us on you.

Whoo-hoo! This is awesome. Champagne and sexy dancers for everyone!

Bingo, bongo! :)

That kind of attitude is so holier than thou and nasty. Not very Christ-like at all I'd say.

---

It's a LOUD opinion.

Well Fox News.com sure is covering this whereas CNN.com and MSNBC.com are not. Guess Fox wants to help fuel the fire.

Anyway, I pray that Bloomberg's intentions are genuine and that this will win.

Some facts about interracial marriage:
from http://marriage.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.csmonitor.com%2Fdurable%2F2001%2F07%2F25%2Fp15s1.htm

"In 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that a ban on interracial marriage was unconstitutional."
Interracial marriage was made legal by a court case. You could say "activist" judges made this decision.

Number of interracial marriages in 1960: 51,000

Number of interracial marriages in 2001: 450,000

1991 survey by National Opinion Research Center: 66 percent of white Americans polled opposed a close relative marrying a black man.

More recent survey by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard University found 86 percent of black respondents said their families would welcome a white person. But only 55 percent of white families would respond in kind.

And all of the same things said in support of banning gay marriage were said of interracial marriage:
