Syracuse Students Join Rally for Gay Marriage

Bravo for them! It is time we quit letting religion override our Constitution!!

==“If you love someone you should be able to be with that person and to be respected.”==
Nobody is stopping anybody from being with anybody.
The law doesn’t stop any man who claims to be homosexual from marrying a woman who says that she is homosexual.
In University of California v Bakke, SCOTUS says that groups have no Rights, that only persons/individuals do.
Thus, the law that defines “marriage” as the union of a “man” and a “woman” does not discriminate since all those who claim to be homosexual are either men, or women.

==“People are seeing this as a moral issue and not as an issue of human rights,” Haynes said. “They (Prop 8 supporters) think it is going to affect their homes. . . but it doesn’t, it affects our homes.”==
B-b-b-b-b-ut, Hillary Clinton, a member of the Lib side, says, “It Takes a Village,” and we’re part of that “village.”
The reason we take it as a Morals issue is that it IS a Morals issue.

its simply unconstitutional to deny equal rights to law abiding citizens… if homophobes dont want gays on the alter of their church, that is one thing, but a marriage license is issued by the government and the government has no obligation to religitards, but they do have an obligation to uphold the constitution and not discriminate… but fear not, eventually gays will be recognized as fellow human beings because society is shifting, however slowly…

People who deny the right of gay couples to marry are morally the same as people who tried to keep women and black people from voting and enjoying their full civil rights.
Bigotry is bigotry, and history is against the people who voted for Proposition 8.

There are two aspects to the word “marriage.” The secular and the spiritual.
The secular aspect is the legal contract authorized by the state in which certain legal privileges and protections are available to couples meeting the requirements. The requirements currently are that the couple be one male and one female, of or beyond a certain age who have completed the required documents and filed those documents with the appropriate office.
The state has always regulated legal contracts and placed restrictions on them…including who may and who may not enter into one.
The spiritual aspects are whatever the couple want to make them…a ritual, swearing an oath, reading a poem, whatever they choose.
If the state offers the same and equal legal privileges and protections through a contract of a different name (like “civil union”)for same-sex couples, the rational course of action would be to enter into that contract with one’s partner in the belief that such partnerships will, over time, become a non-issue.
The irrational course of action is to demand that the majority abandon deeply held convictions and beliefs in order to have the word “marriage” appear on the contract.

Oh boy, Same Sex Marriage,What’s next Human and Animal Marriage.

==its simply unconstitutional to deny equal rights to law abiding citizens…==
Nobody denies anybody’s Rights. Men who claim to be homosexual may marry women who think they are homosexual. No law requires that the man and woman be heterosexual.

==People who deny the right of gay couples to marry…==
Heterosexual men are stopped from marrying men, too. So, there is no discrimination.

==If you are against Gay Marriage is because you must be in the closet, such an insecure human being!!! ==
It “must” be??? “Must”?

See,,,I would love somebody and he would always leave me for another radio record AND ON TIME. Shoot! Now I am running between “as she rises to her apartment Chief, everybody else was sure to know, he’s watching her go”. Go? Go where? And who was “he”? I haven’t had a date in 8 years! North to Alaska so I can do my own brain tans? Or I can swing with Elton in 70′ and Honkey Chateau while these liers are running on the banks-”Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, sons of bankers, sons of lawyers”. I guess it is the math pencil and 3 degrees so I can stick your lazy you know whats into the can for not respecting women-not to mention the guy I married which you shunned. In the meantime, good ladies,,,I am going for the Marvin Grants and the Calvin Kleins.If you think I am listening to this line of you know what-guess again-especially after being a Kundalini, drug and alcohol free Barter Fair freak. And let me tell you something else: Nothing replaces love and marriage. Nothing replaces love and marriage between a man and a women-even if they plan to wreck it on time. Nothing. Nowhere. Zero. Period. If any of you are lucky enough to find a person of the opposite sex who has the guts to stick it out through it all, you will discover the sacredness of a God given rite that was the mystery no one could even express. Lighten up. Its not over yet…..

Gayness is a deviate of normal. It is againt Nature, Against how the human body was design and what it was designed for.
It is a personal preference of sexual behavior.
If the government makes one abnormal sexual behavior legal, they will have to make them all legal.

The very last worry on my mind is “gay rights.” How incredibly selfish. We are fighting for our very survival as a country. Those students need to direct their energy to volunteering to assist the elderly, mow some grass, shovel some snow, provide a meal to the hungry, join the military, GIVE BACK.

In some places in this world, women are not permitted to hold jobs, drive, walk unaccompanied in public, show their faces or look a man in the eye. Women who defy the prohibitions may be beaten, raped or stoned to death.
These practices are backed up by centuries of tradition. They are codified into law. Religious scholars cite passages from the holy book to justify the practices. It is believed that this is the natural order of things, that women are naturally inferior and subservient to men. If the laws are put to a popular vote, they easily pass.
Does that make it right?
And if not… how much weight do the EXACT SAME arguments hold in the Prop 8 debate?
