[chetnikman]

goverment cant legalize or illegalize marriage, the only heads over marriage is the church/religon you want to be married in. Therefore ask your rabbi cleric or preist to wed you

Why is he speaking like he's never read the brief before???

What a moron.

[MatthiasFarland]

4000 years ago women were property, and polygamous marriages were common.

And the procreation argument is so weak.

Also, marriage rites were initially "friendship" rites between women.

No wonder this idiot lost the case. Not only was he arguing against equality, but he was doing it badly!

Word. Does not anyone study anthropology? Does not anyone understand that the "third gender" has been a part of societies since the beginning of time? Where is the knowledge? There is little knowledge, only conformity to a religious propaganda and fear of the unknown/ misunderstood. Blah. Anti-gay marriage laws will NOT last.

[rickardo004]

hehe, marriage 4000 years ago was about other facts besides love...survival perhaps?

[lcswoosh]

lol last sentence was such an epic failure.
