Forums - General - Florida has banned gay marriage

I will never understand why people find it necessary to attempt to legislate other adults' personal lives.

Sickening, really.

Hey freedom isn't free, or something. America has better things to worry about than fixing the economy. We gotta stop those gays from marrying! That will solve all our problems!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Irrespective of your sentiment, what do you propose Florida legislators should have been doing in the couple of hours it took them to pass this bill to solve the global financial crisis?

I voted against Amendment 2. I was really surpised to see it pass also. I thought Florida was a little better than that.

Thinking about things other than gay people snogging each other in private, for starters.

Who benefitted from the legislation being passed?  All it did was take away people's rights.  Now a few people who are too intolerant to accept that gay people have relationships with each other have even more reason to remain intolerant.

It is just;...Who is getting harmed if their are gay marriages?  I can understand that some christians have problems with it if it happens in a Church but a state gaymarriage aswell X_X....






marriage is a bond b/t man and a women...that is how it was before government twisted it

i dont mind them having civil unions and be given teh same legal right s as a married couple but why do they have to take some thing from my religion and twist it ? cant they have their own thing?



 

People know that marriage was around before Christianity or Judaism was around right...why do people assume that Christian's somehow "own" marriage. It was never there's to begin with.

And last time I checked, you need a marriage license to get licensed. You don't need a priest to get married. Hell, a ship captain can marry you.
