Did Miss California lose because of her opinion on gay marriage?

As for wesslewoggle. You're the one that wants to change status quo. Propose an argument why the beliefs of many many billions founded on millenia of precedent, love and feeling are wrong. Propose a reason why they should be changed so that in addition to completely equal rights, a minority can feel they have won a tokenistic victory over the religious right at the expense of everyone else.

My argument for changing the status quo is, the status quo sucks. It's not fair, and it should be made as fair as possible. Do you think it's fair for straight people to be able to marry someone they're attracted to, when gay people cannot?

Why do you think the government should not legalize gay marriage? Just because of the fact that some people will get offended? That's less of a problem with legalizing gay marriage, and more of a problem with their own personal hang ups.

Anyways goodnight I guess.

Ultimately, as I am not arguing that we restrict any gay rights, all you're saying is that we should allow gays to marry because some will be offended if we do not.

In that context, there will be offense on at least one side.  So it is best to offend only a few instead of many, not to mention that billions of people are already married, and many would feel their committment is lessened.

But yeah, goodnight mate.

No hard feelings.
