Here is a question for people who oppose gay marriage:

How are you defending the sanctity of your marriage, when gay people are getting married all over the world?

Or are you just defending the sanctity of Christian marriages, even though gay Christians are getting married all over the world?

Or are you just defending the sanctity of American Christian marriages, even though gay American Christians are getting married in Massachussetts, Connecticut, and California?

Rubang, don't try to understand the Libertarian party. You're wasting your time.

Like most modern Republicans, modern Libertarians have no respect for the party's traditions. Which is sad because the Libertarian party largely gained traction because of the collapse of the old GOP. Sad to see it following its footsteps down the path of legislation.

seems the only real constitutionalist, libertarian, republican is really Ron Paul. Really sad when he is the only person who I can think of that fits the bill on understanding what each party represents at its core.

ssj12, you realize that those three are very different things. Ron Paul is not any of them. Ron Paul is Ron Paul.

he has ran for all there parties though. RP seems to understand the core beliefs of the constitutionalists while believing in the beliefs that formed the Repub party.

But you are right Ron Paul is Ron Paul. I;m forming a new political party, RonPaulinism

I wish gay marriage was legal in Australia. It sickens me that countries that separate church from state still discriminate based on outdated religious values.

When did love requre marriage?  I love my GF very much... a lawful contract doesn't change that... personally I think those people in Florida are doing gays a favor... Marriage is way overrated

it's not even Christian... it's old law... Jewish in origin...

I have to wonder if the homosexual couples are more interested in having equal rights or being treated the same.  These are two complety different things.

In the US, men and women have equal rights.  This means that any law that applies to a man also applies to a woman, and vise versa.  There are also several laws in place attempting to give women the same changes in the workplace that men do.  However, men and women are not treated the same, as they are different.  Whether it is chemistry or nurturing, men and women behave differently and have different strengths and weaknesses.  Therefore, men and women are treated differently and that is ok, since they are different.

Now to make my point.  Heterosexual and Homosexual couples are different.  Saying that they are the same is simply ignorance.  I have nothing against giving homosexaul couples the same rights as heterosexual couples.  However, saying homosexuals saying that they want "gay marriage" is wanting to be treated the same as others, and is more about acceptance than anything.  After all, I always hear people upset that Florida banned "gay marriage" not upset because homosexual couples don't have the same rights.  They are two different things.

Note my above posts where I state that "gay marriage" is an oxymoron.  While we are at it, why don't we ban boiling ice.  If we want "gay marriage", then we would have to change the literal definition of marriage first.  As for those homosexual couples that are calling thier union "gay marriage", them calling it so does not make it fact.  They are in a union.

Blame it on Obama according to CTV.

While Barack Obama's historic election as the U.S.'s next president was seen as a huge win for progressive, exit polls showed that Obama supporters were vital in the effort to ban same-sex marriage.

Exit polls conducted by The Associated Press showed that African-Americans, who turned out in huge numbers, voted heavily in support of the measure. About seven in ten African-Americans supported the ban, while whites were about evenly split.

Analysts point out that African-Americans are more likely to go to church than whites as a reason for the difference in voting.
