"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, I'm a bigot. Blah blah blah." I hope you lose your next election, pal.

Hateful, ignorant bigots united and proud to be so. Speak more so we get to know your distorted thinking.

"goes back thousands of years"(marriage was only male/female)? Not at all. Stam is lazy and/or mendacious.

Nero, ( a 1st Century AD Roman emperor ) was already married to a guy

named Pythagorus and became love-struck with a guy named Sporus---and

married him in a public wedding.

2nd Century AD: Roman emperor Elagabalus sent out a request for a male

athlete named Aurelius Zoticus, whom he later marries in a lavish

ceremony.

"'goes back thousands of years'(marriage was only male/female)?" Not at all. Stam is lazy or mendacious.

In the journal of the French skeptic and essayist, Michel De Montaigne (1580-1581), he recorded Portuguese same-sex marriages celebrated in a nuptial mass in Rome:

".......They married one another, male to male, at Mass, with the same ceremonies with which we perform our marriages, read the same gospel service, and then went to bed and lived together. ..."

"'thousands of years'(marriage was only male/female)?" Not at all. Stam is lazy or mendacious. Lakota chief Crazy Horse had one or two male spouse(s) and most other Native American nations also had same-sex marriages.17th century Fukian Province China, same-sex marriages between gay men were common. In West Africa, "woman marriage[s]"-a practice by many tribes. 1552: In the "History of the Indies," Francisco Lopez de Gomara documents men are marrying other men in the Indies (Caribbean Islands).

If there is already a law, why are they even doing this? Because they're hateful, awful bigots. That's why.

[maiapinion]
