Movement for stronger definition of marriage gains momentum

By gr8geezer | Published 2/25/2004

As expected in past few weeks, ultraliberals have shot themselves in the foot by defying state laws and pressing ahead with their refusal to accept marriage for what it is.

President Bush yesterday publically voiced his support for a federal constitutional amendement that would once and for all refine the definition of marriage for everyone.

If same sex couples and ultraliberals want to convince conservatives of the validity of their cause, taking an immature approach like they have been doing so far will definitely hurt their cause far more than it will help it.

They should also remember that no-one is attempting to ban same sex unions here. And as far as the “seperate but equal” argument goes, one could similarly argue that calling pears pears is discrimination of apples.

    This is about civil rights. Are you so afraid of gay people that you really believe giving them the same title for their unions will somehow reduce the sanctity of your “marriage”? Had you lived 50 years ago where would you stand on the issue of civil rights for black people? Aren’t you embarrassed by your lack of acceptance?

    The argument about African Americans is invalid. The argument there was that no couple should be barred from marriage (remember that I consider “gay marraiage” to be an oxymoron).

    Also, I don’t see the validity of the “marriage has already been desecrated” argument. That’s like encouraging all attendants of a party to trash your house because one drunk sod’s smashed your valuable armchair.

    I only mention the “African American” question to point out how closed minded and backward your view seems to me. I wonder how you can be so closed minded ? I’m in awe. In addition, I don’t think marriage HAS been desecrated (but obviously you do). How does what someone else does effect YOUR relationship ?

    As far as I can tell, if gay people getting married reduces what “marriage” is to straight people, then by that logic, jewish people getting married reduces the sanctity of a catholic marriage, or visa versa.
