Some people don't want to share their marriage tax benefits because there would be less in the monetary pool to go around.
Or so I've heard.
P.S. I don't know how easily a government would suffer such a blow, or would be weakened or ineffective enough though... or have a large enough majority willing to fight for their views.
Vixen: Perhaps not against organized politics, but the Civil War in the United States did happen.

The_Vixen_Princess_Verand The 1st amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. If marriage is religious, than gay marriage is a practice of an individual's beliefs. Therefore, no ban should be legalized. Congress has done things that have conflicted with the constitution before. On the part about individual beliefs, many homosexuals want to be married under their respective religion, and if their respective religion forbids it, it isn't an individual belief but the beliefs of many who forbid it. Also, using that same section of the constitution it is easy to say that the government shouldn't legalize homosexual marriage because it conflicts with the religion's beliefs and practices. M!dori P.S. I don't know how easily a government would suffer such a blow, or would be weakened or ineffective enough though... or have a large enough majority willing to fight for their views. Their are several things that could make it happen. A war between two or more countries could cause one or all of the parties involved to lose the power to assert the laws, and lose the confidence of the people. Or a revolution where the people don't like the administration because of what it's done. Or the government is just incapable of asserting control but still not have the possibility of revolt creating an environment where the people have free reign to do what they want. etc, etc.

SolarInvictus Also, using that same section of the constitution it is easy to say that the government shouldn't legalize homosexual marriage because it conflicts with the religion's beliefs and practices. So Catholics can't eat pork because it goes against the Jewish religion?

People have the right to practice their own religious beliefs. And to allow others to practice their own beliefs. It doesn't matter if what one religion does offends another (so long as it's morally acceptable and safe, of course). Just like you have the freedom of speech. You can be offensive with what you say as long as you don't do any harm.

Everyone deserves to be treated equal.
I don't even understand why someone would think differently
Unless they were brainwashed as a child to think that way with no other influences.
If someone think differently, well then thats their problem
I would vote for gay marriage <3

Also, using that same section of the constitution it is easy to say that the government shouldn't legalize homosexual marriage because it conflicts with the religion's beliefs and practices. *AHEM* Yes, except for making gay marriage legal does not make it illegal for a church to refuse to marry a couple. Therefore, it does not matter if it is against their religion or not because it is not about religion. The only place that could not discriminate if a gay marriage law were to be made would be court houses (since that's what makes your marriage legal anyway not your minister spouting a couple bible verses). With that being said you point is void and yet again there is no good reason why gays shouldn't have equal rights and protection under the law.

Nespin Fernagon On the topic of homsexuality being natural or not... Quote: Black swans An estimated one-quarter of all black swans pairings are homosexual and they steal nests, or form temporary threesomes with females to obtain eggs, driving away the female after she lays the eggs. More of their cygnets survive to adulthood than those of different-sex pairs, possibly due to their superior ability to defend large portions of land. The same reasoning has been applied to male flamingo pairs raising chicks. Gulls Studies have shown that 10 to 15 percent of female western gulls in some populations in the wild exhibit homosexual behavior. etc.
Koalas are bisexual. Yep.
I'm not kidding. Look it up, guys! XD

Shiori Miko itchyman24
i'd rather not have marriage than not have genitals.
"Give me liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry just owned you.Shiori Miko itchyman24 meh im against gay marriage.
i don't see the point behind it.
you're SUPPOSED to NATURALLY be attracted to the opposite sex.
gay marriage is unnatural and goes against a ton of things.
earlier in this thread, there was a post talking about how homosexuals were killed in earlier times:
ever heard of sodom and gommorah? the old bible story where both towns were full of homosexuals and God smited the place. it is now known as the Dead Sea. Pleasant thought, isn't it? So because it isn't natural it isn't right? Computers aren't natural. Your house isn't. Books aren't natural. Light bulbs. TVs.
No, Shiori Miko just owned you. Twice. xd
