Blanket - What's wrong with gay marriage?

Equal Marriage For Same-Sex Couples
equalmarriage.ca

Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell launched equalmarriage.ca after their historic Jan. 14, 2001 marriage. The web site is Canada's leading source of information about same-sex marriage.

"What's wrong with gay marriage?" A series of three, 30-second television and radio spots created by award-winning Toronto agency, Zig and produced by Industry Films, were made in support of equalmarriage.ca

The couple are co-authors of the critically acclaimed book Just Married: Gay Marriage and the Expansion of Human Rights (published by Doubleday Canada and the University of Wisconsin Press). Just Married was recently translated into French and published by Les Éditions Stanké. They write for a variety of adjudicated academic journals and commercial publications (most recently in the University of New Brunswick Law Journal and the international journal Feminism and Psychology). Their speaking engagements have brought them to Europe, the United States, and across Canada.

Kevin and Joe received a Distinguished Leadership Award last month from Philadelphia-based Equality Forum, the premiere international GLBT civil rights forum.

@BillyGoat67890 a long time ago. Not anymore. And, guess what? People work on saturdays, eat shrimp and pork, wear clothes with two or more fabrics, people wearing glasses get married, and people who cheat are not lapidated anymore. All of those are condemned in the Bible, too. If you follow the Bible so closely, why don't you complain about all those other things, too?

@BillyGoat67890 Try facts: Lakota chief Crazy Horse had one or two male spouse(s) and many other Native American nations also had what we now call same-sex marriages. Ethnographers have documented these and more. Examples: Omahas, Zapotecs, Mohaves, Crow, Ojibwas, Winnebagos, Yumas and Timucuas. Other cultures too. In 17th century Fukian Province China, same-sex marriages between gay men seem to have been common. And in West Africa, "woman marriage[s]" --practiced by many nations in the past.

@MissLexiStyles

No one is more idiot than you, that shitty hole is meant for toilet not for sex, so keep your comments for yourself

[BillyGoat67890]

Gay marrage was never intended in the bible , Also for those who don't believe in the bible gay marrage also was forbidden in the U.S.A along time ago so shove it to those who say free country , We are talking about important things like The economy not your fucking fag ass life.

@WTF1920 Hang in there. Remember that as recently as 1973, the Aborigine of Australia [the local darker-skinned people living there before the white man showed up] were legally classified as « plants/animals » !! It *will* get better, I promise!

[MissLexiStyles]

Wow, i just read alot of these comments on here...people have so much hate in their life that they feel the need to inflict it in their views when being defensive... how the hell are 2 gay people getting married affecting your life?? SERIOUSLY?? Is it really going to stop u from doing what you're going to do on a day-to-day basis?? People are idiots!

It's not about whether or not you "approve" of or "disapprove" of homosexuality. The issue here is government and morality sure as hell was never meant to have ANY weight in the decision.
