When they start calling anyone against gay marriage a hateful bigot (except democrats, of course) they turned a lot of people off (no pun intended) imo. I mean, i think the vast majority of people think if someone is in tge hospital then their lover of 40 years should be able to visit ffs.

don't worry hunny. When you get that liposuction I'll be right next to you holding your hand

Yeah, equal as in exactly the same except for the name. Bc without the same name they wouldnt be able to ...uh...well they wouldnt have the right to...um...hmm...?

Do you think gays wont call themselves married?? Lol. "Our four fathers gathered together to witness the creation of thiscivil union" or "we got married!"?

I guess im an OT lib and i think Obama should be ashamed of himself for his stance just like bush should be. There. Happy?

Let's not worry about Obama's position on gay marriage. His position is evolving and the election will be over in November. By January he will be in favor of gay marriage.

I still don't understand how two people getting married effects anyone else...

What's the homosexual community's stance on polygamy? They have to be for it right?

If the term marriage is based out of religion instead of government doctrine as many people claim it is then I'm not sure why you can't have two wives. We have freedom of religion in this country and if your religion says you can have two wives then if marriage is a religious belief why can't you. Just because Chirstians God defines marriage as between a man and women doesn't mean all religions have similar definitions.

But marriage in the U.S. is not based on religion (regardless what the far right claims) and based on the government definition marriage is between a man and a women. The language should be changed imo to include gay couples. It will never be changed to include two men and a women, two women and a man, etc for various reasons

As for Obama coming out against gay marriage it is because of who makes up his base, I don't really believe he cares one way or another on the issue at all and when/if he gets elected if there was legislation available for him to sign legalizing gay marriage there would be a chance he would sign it, depending on the language in the bill give it 50-50.

Why would they have to be for it? Makes no sense. Do people who believe in polygamy have to be for homosexual's?

Still dont really understand how this is an equal rights issue. Homosexuals have every right to marry someone, just not of the same sex. Same goes with heterosexuals. So it seems as though everyone has equal rights to me.

Marriage is for retards.

So you believe that it wouldn't be against "equal rights" if black people could only buy things from other black people, and white people could only buy things from other white people? I mean, they can buy things from someone, just not from someone of a different race?

i have lot of facebook friends from or living in NC so it's been blowing up all day on my newsfeed. i haven't been following the details of polls too much so don't know what the chances of it passing or not are.

Better late than never I guess...

"Obama told ABC News that, after reflection, he had "concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.""
