@kenballer00 Oh enough about the screaming, crying children that you have to raise til 24 now because of the economy. According to you, it's for procreation, yet we have came back to the same question I had in the first place.

If marriage is just about Procreation, then WHY are couples that are infertile and unable to conceived allowed to MARRY if it's just about RESPONSIBLE PROCREATION? It's not about that, it's about heterosexual conservatives wanting it to be a "Special Right" for them.

[breemystic]

@kenballer00 You're right I can't comprehend Conservative Talking Points because they make no sense, By the way here's what I put:

WHY are couples that are infertile and unable to conceived allowed to MARRY if it's just about RESPONSIBLE PROCREATION?

I mentioned Responsible Procreation, maybe you should learn some comprehension too and stop putting others down because they don't agree with your points that are meant to discriminate against a group of people, have a great life.

[firstatheist]

People define words not the other way around. Further more, words evolve in the definition as time progresses.

[TheDementedDemon]

@wolfstar124 Yeah, that's pretty much what it is, I guess. Yet people still like to bring the belief of man and woman marriages in to it.

[wolfstar124]

@TheDementedDemon exactly. I was taught that there was meant to be a separation of church and state because the religious people could say "because god said so" and get whateverthefuck they want

[angel4063]

My comment is that if two people want to get married they should be able to, it should not be a law that just because some people to approve of this i think its none of their business! If others can get married I believe that in all fairness anyone should be able to marry. its because some people are prejudice and I think these people are full of crap and need to get a life and leave others alone, I mean would these same people let others tell them who they can be with? i think not!!

[flowewritharoma]

social marrage is not fundamental marrage.

[lonstar70]

Jesus Christ, there are hours and hours of this boring shit!!!

[wheelzwheela]

"Good morning again Judge Jud.... Walker." LOL

[TheDementedDemon]

What I really hate about lawmakers discussing gay marriage to enact as a law, is that they always bring religion in to it. The Constitution SHOULD bar out the involvement of religion towards any law discussion.

[kathleentube]

I definately support gay marriage, so there's my bias while watching this, but I admire this lawyer nonetheless.  A tough argument to make, but I think he made it well.
