Gay Marriage in California - Love Wins Again!

http://weddingpartners.tv


We believe in the rights of all people, gay, bisexual, straight, transgendered and all points in between to celebrate their love and participate equally in the benefits and responsibilities of marriage. Gay marriage is a blessing and we wish all the gay and lesbian couples who choose this path a long, happy, and fulfilling life together. Love is love. The heart does as the heart does. We congratulate all the men and women who, with courage, conviction, and faith, choose to declare their love for one another through marriage. We are honored to share in their special day.

I almost lost my partner of 8 years this year because a hospital wouldn't accept me as her next of kin no matter what she wrote when she checked in. they made her wait 22 hours while her apendix ruptured to even tell anyone she needed another signature. She spent 2 months in hospitals recovering from the paratinits, and still she won't sue. She says she's just glad to be alive. I still have no right to sue for her. There are reasons we are fighting for equal rights that civil unions won't cover.

Your arguments are identical to those given in 1948 when interacisal marriage was about to become legal. The only thing that will change when gay marriage becomes legal nationawide is that millons of gay Americans will be recognized as eqauls to everyone esle, and they are allowed to be happy. Will the happiness of gays bring anger to you? If so, why? Do you hate gays more than you respect them as fellow citizens? Would you want to be treated like you suggest gays be treated? Bigotry is dying!

I would rather call straight marriage a different name because marriage is connected to disgust now ....I don't value marriage anymore..Marriage is no longer a beautiful thing.....We need a new name for straight marriage....The faggots and dykes can have marriage.

Civil Rights is not just a black/white issue. That is a very norrow historical view of it. Not only on your part but even on the part of some who advocate for same sex marriage. Being Jewish I defend civil rights that may both be inborn or choice. Like being Jewish. I bet my grandmother could have been forced to convert and pray to Jesus. Because in a way, it's a choice too to be Jewish. But should we Jews be denied our civil rights because being a Jew may or may not be a choice?

Slavery was wrong. Segregation was wrong. Tormenting and persecuting gays is wrong. Any form of inequality is wrong. Fighting against equality is wrong.

You can dress it up with fancy words of denial in any way you like, unfair policies are still wrong.

Demanding sacrifices of others while not making an yourself is unfair.

Would you like the entire institution of marriage abolished, or would you prefer everyone enjoy the benefits equally? You would Cut off your nose to spite your face?

"Don't change the rules"??? Rules/laws are supposed to EVOLVE. Wait, nevermind, that concept's gonna be lost...

Slavery and segregation are wrong. Perfect examples that the majority is not always right. Still the civil rights movement was successful BECAUSE it persuaded the majority. (thank God)

Do not equate gay marriage opposition with slavery or segregation. A man cannot chose his skin color, he is born with it. Homosexuality is a behavior NOT a something as natural as skin color. You may argue that homosexaulty is natural just like you may argue it is not. The nature of skin color cannot be argued.

"Notice that the above message said that the California Supreme Court over ruled the states ban on gay marriage. That ban was supported by a majority of Californians."

You mean like it was done with slavery and segregation? Majorities supported those wrongs as well. Can a majority of Americans outlaw RELIGION?

You have the right NOT to belong to a church, not to get married, etc. WHY must YOUR preference be forced on everyone? Why are YOU more important than others? WHY?????

The institution of marriage is between a man and a woman. So now the rules are supposed to change to accommodate a minority? Really? Don't confuse those who don't support gay marriage with bigotry. That is very weak and fickle thinking.

Rise above man. Don't be weak and fickle.

[omailmar]

Notice that the above message said that the California Supreme Court over ruled the states ban on gay marriage. That ban was supported by a majority of Californians. Accusations like bigotry in this context come from thoughts that were formed in a very small box.

Whoever raves about decisions enacted by a very small group OVER the majority will of the people tend to be doctoral types who know whats best for everyone.

Yes you can be Christian and fight against equality. Some things are inherently unequal. Homosexuality and the institution of marriage is one of them.
