Romney, because at least he isn't for same-sex 'marriage'.

Feel free to check out my signature whenever you've got some time to spare.

Not that I care much anymore (gay marriage has been legal in Canada for several years now) but your signature, and most pro-gay marriage stances, fails to address the underlying question of "What is marriage?"

We live in a society where the institution of marriage has been under assault for over 60 years, and today it has been so watered down that the average person's definition would be something along the lines of "What happens after a wedding". There is far more to it than that, and one of the reasons the divorce rate is already so high is most people have forgotten what a marriage is supposed to be; and simply want a wedding with their partner because they lust for them. I don't fear a "slippery slope" argument with gay marriage, but I have never seen anyone explain how two people of the same sex can be married ... Being in love is not enough, having a ceremony is not enough, having a stable monogamous partnership which lasts a lifetime for the purpose of raising children is required.

This isn't about "good vs. evil" or about "tolerance" this is purely about definitions ... Just because you want to call your cat a dog doesn't make it a dog

"Just because you want to call your cat a dog doesn't make it a dog."

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Tell me one single difference between marriage with different-sex partners and marriage with same-sex partners other than their biological differences. It is two people who love each other and who wants to be able to officially show it to others.

I posted this on my wall earlier, but I guess it fits ferfectly here as well:

Sex differences are no different than skin-colour differences; They are entirely biological. Just because you are born gay you shouldn't be excluded from the happiness that marriage may bring.

Except there are substantial differences between same sex relationships and heterosexual relationships ...

With the debate over gay marriage in Canada there were lots of statistics that demonstrated that there are substantial differences between same sex relationships and heterosexual relationships. For example, lesbians are far more likely to be involved in domestic abuse (which seems counter-intuitive) and their relationships are far less stable and more likely to break up; gay male relationships also tend not to be monogamous, and long lasting gay male relationships tend to more closely resemble open marriages or swingers.

You still haven't defined what a marriage is or how a homosexual relationship can meet that definition. All you have done is resorted to ad-hominem attacks, which demonstrates that you don't have an intelligent logical argument.
