  • Jeese Ventura said it best. Government should only recognize civil unions for everyone. Leave it up to private entities to do marriages etc.

  • The legalization of gay marriage is inevitable. The major issue that will arise is reciprocity among states. What if X state marries Jane and Marry but state Y does not observe gay marriage? As more and more states legalize homosexual marriage the federal government will need to step in and force ass-backwards states to accept gay marriage.

    In Loving v. Virginia (1967) the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of interracial marriage. How long will it take to lift the ban on gay marriage?

  • @tytheeman20 Awesome. Seems people keep "betraying" themselves on this issue with their "misplaced politics" and voting for us queers to marry. Oh dear! What is the country coming to? XD

  • @Threetails Gay Marriage passes in NY!!! Equality always wins!!!

  • "Betrayal?" It's called Democracy, motherfucker.

  • @PersonalJesus348 I mean, they wouldn't get those rights I listed above unless they got a civil union like the gays. I don't mean take them AWAY away.

  • @DarkNayru62

    True. But the government gets carried away when it gives itself more power.

  • @gpbrown4 Marriage does not belong to a religious institution, it is a far older tradition that goes back thousands of years before Christianity.

  • @PersonalJesus348 I agree, if they don't pass regular marriage for everyone, then take away the 1,000 federal rights and hundreds of additional state rights, including medical treatment, hospital visitation, employee benefits for families, parenting rights and custodial protections that are granted, and make EVERYONE get a civil union too. That would be fair, but it would be easier just to let gays get married, no?

  • @gpbrown4 if marriage was really a religious term it wouldnt outdate religion, nor would atheists be allowed to marry

  • Tommy Duane is Gay
