Obama shift on gay marriage unleashes Hollywood's star power

SOOO GOOOD. I read them both each in a day. 3 days ago and 2 days ago lol. I'd read the 3rd but my girlfriend hasn't finished it yet >.<

I finished Mockingjay on Sunday. So that means I read the trilogy from Friday May 4th to Sunday May 13th. LOL. I've never read 1150 pages so quickly.

Mockingjay is slower to get going...but once it does there are some suprises.

Can you guys start a new thread for your book club? lol
 
I guess the thought is that if people are trying to fight for it, it probably means more to them then the rest of us...

As to finding churches that allow it... getting a marriage certificate is a state form. All it takes is a signature from a judge and 100 bucks or so. It is just paperwork, state paperwork though. Churches don't have to be involved at all.


So Isn't that a civil union?
Why do they insist on marriage?
Marriage is a religious institution between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation and nurturing children.

If you want a civil union be my guest. But stop with the gay pride parades and crap. Why can't we be proud of being straight? Live and let live.

Looks like it is another state vs. federal level issue.

Marriages are given by the state, but they have federal implications.
Civil unions are given by the state, but have NO federal implications.

There is a pretty big difference it seems.
 
Kreg expressed my exact thoughts on this issue. The gov't should have zero interference on this issue. Especially when the Right use arguments like:

Marriage is a religious institution between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation and nurturing children.

Doesn't the Constitution say something about the Seperation of Church and State?

But yet the Right want to add an Amendement to the Constitution. North Carolina anybody??



The only reason Jomama has flip-flopped on this issue is for votes. The Left isn't nearly as fired up and thrilled for him as they were in 08 and he is simply playing politics to try and rev up the Left base.

Repulsive behavior for a so-called leader.

Yes The 1st ammendment to the constitution guarantees the freedom "of" religion not freedom "from" religion.
Congress shall make no law in respect to or prohibiting the free practice thereof any religion.
The moral majority should have more say so than an ignorant minority.

The "moral" majority is but a myth in this once great nation.

Exactly.... Religious. So why does the STATE regulate it? The government should not be regulating any marriage, straight or gay.

You know that is a good point. They should perform Civil Unions at the Courthouse and let the Churches perform the marriages.

Unless a church decides they want to allow gay people to marry.

That's the churches right.

I think there is bigger problems in this world other than Gay's Who are we to judge Who people fall in love with.Try being nutral, you know live and let live.
 
I am not OK with the idea that future children will think it's normal to perform homosexual acts.
 
It's something they are born with. It is not learned behavior. Nature not nurture.

I call bovine excrete on that. Its part of our desensitized culture that think its perfectly normal from the garbage they read, watch on TV and the movies they watch. I wasn't long ago that very few people were gay, but with the changing culture its more prevelent. The whole thing irritates me in the sense that they push it all off onto our childeren to think its the way to be..

Careful with that... It should read "It wasn't long ago what people knew of only a few people that were gay"... I would imagine that most people hid the fact. Wouldn't you?

I don't know.. I don't think it is being pushed as THE way to be, just that it is ok if you are..
