#2 Kudos to these brave chartreuse lions attacking a 69 year old woman instead of going into Watts and bending over those who voted for Prop 8 in large numbers.

#3 A great preacher who had a knack for seeing things ahead of times predicted that America's gay community would one day become militant and intolerant to the point of dieing for thier cause. But of course I think he was refering to how those people acted in the Bible stories that were written in the days of old...

#5 Carrying a large, Styrofoam cross...

These are a lot lighter if you are going to do much protesting.

How about sicing the gay protesters on the Westboro Baptist Church? Seems like a good match.

#6 JohnQC, I'll put my money on the Westboro crowd. Never ever get in a brawl with inbred idiots.

-----------------

But....although I am sympathetic to the idea of gay marriage, I gotta take the devil's advocate position in this argument. I don't see where they are denied any right that a straight person has. They have the right to marry (or not) anyone of the opposite gender just like the next guy or girl.

Love between the parties involved, the willingness to have children, or even sexual fidelity are not legal requirements for marriage in any of the 50 states. No one cares if you like men, women, furry animals or blow up dolls when you apply for the license. If any of those three things I mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph were a prerequisite for a license, they might have a legitimate bitch, but until they are, what they are essentially asking for is another option to be added.

You do not, nor have any of us ever really had, the legal "right" to marry someone based on love or sexual attraction alone. If I may quote one of my favorite musical philosophers, Tina Turner, "What's love got to do with it?" That's what it boils down to. The people have spoken, so....try to make your case better the next time.

BTW, guys....insulting the parties who disagreed with you, beating up on little old ladies and using ethnic slurs ain't the way to change hearts and minds, ok?
