I mentioned that in a post I made previously about why I don’t support gay marriage. But for some reason, every time I make a salient point, PFT deletes my comment. Here’s the original comment that got deleted:

“Don’t the same arguments that support gay marriage also support incest?”

Not at all, because the issue here is gay marriage RIGHTS. I’m sure that gay people would be perfectly happy with finding a church that will marry them if there weren’t any state involvement in marriage.

“God created Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve.”

Genesis is a story.

“If every heterosexual on the planet stopped having sex the human race would become extinct.”

We’re not talking about that, are we? We’re talking about legal recognition of gay couples.

“You don’t see 2 male or 2 female animals going at it together.”

Uh, actually you do. Nature is filled with examples of heterosexual animals (humans being one of the many).

Having said all that, I don’t support gay marriage rights because I don’t support state involvement in marriage. I think it discriminates against unmarried people. Giving married people special privileges legislates morality.

Marriage is an act of commitment. Incest is a sex act. The two are mutually exclusive.

“God created Adam & Eve” really?
Science has proven behind an doubt that we as a HUMAN race evolved.
ps..Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations…read up ion it..
Read some science journals and get informed..You are so busy getting preached too and reading from a black book…that has been translated and rewritten more times that anyone can count.

Most ignorant comment on this whole post and that’s saying a lot.

Let’s say the only difference between “marriage” and a “civil union” was the inclusion (or exclusion) of a religion. What if a “civil union” and all the same rights and benefits of a “marriage” with the only difference being a “marriage” is performed by a religious house? Would gay marriage opponents object to that?

Given current divorce rates, marriage of any sort is a bullsh*t “institution” — ESPECIALLY the economic benefits such as preferential tax breaks and other “domestic” benefits for people who are in a “marriage” that may only last a few years.

How discriminatory — especially financially — against those people that choose not to be swayed by the “marriage” industries of expensive weddings and even more expensive divorce attorneys and the joys of restraining orders and “custody” — alternating or permanent — of any offspring and “child support” and failure to pay such “child support”.

TOTAL crock residue, whether secular or faith-based — of another masses-controlling opiate: religion!”

Somebody hit a nerve.

Our kids and their kids 25 or 30 years from now are going to wonder what the deal was with this issue. It’s an equality issue, plain and simple. There will be plenty of hetero people continuing the human race, so there’s really nothing to worry about there. I would like to believe that and by and large, it’ll be the prevailing though…unfortunately there are people in some parts of this country are still smarting about the “war of northern aggression”.

I respect anyone’s opinion who themselves believe that marriage is between man and woman. For me it is the same! Great! We’re in agreement. What I CANNOT respect is someone telling someone else what their value of something should be.

As for Klewe and Ayanbadejo – I applaud their efforts to exercise their rights to try and change our country. They are being active and engaging in the process. Most of us just simply moan and complain while doing nothing. Cheers to them for putting the rubber on the road. I tip my cap to them.

I’ve grown tired of those who run this site trying to push their political views. I come here for NFL news. If this continues, I’ll simply look elsewhere.

G-d didn’t write the Constitution either. All men are created equal it says. Some Americans insisted that only meant white males when it was written. Then it included colored men. Then women. People mature. Their definitons expand.

Millions of Americans have a different reading of G-d. Many believe there are thousands. Some believe none. Others that he would never incarnate himself.

When did we decide it was ok to impose our G-d on others…by law nonetheless?

You are NOT the majority, not even close.

How discriminatory — especially financially — against those people that choose not to be swayed by the “marriage” industries of expensive weddings and even more expensive divorce attorneys and the joys of restraining orders and “custody” — alternating or permanent — of any offspring and “child support” and failure to pay such “child support”.

TOTAL crock residue, whether secular or faith-based — of another masses-controlling opiate: religion!

I pray an nfl record holder comes out just to prove how little sexual orientation has to do with your athletic prowess.

I support same-sex marriage.
===================================

I do not.

*there

Two conservatives, Scalia and Thomas, are a lock to vote against gay marriage.
The 4 liberals are a lock in favor of gay marriage.

The lawyers will just have to convince only one other judge to jump over, Roberts, Kennedy, or Alito.

I’m willing to bet Roberts and/Kennedy will be the one. They have both shown to crossover to the liberal side every once in a while.

My only question is why is Brendon Ayanbadejo so hardcore about his opinion on this topic? is he hiding something…..

Maybe he just wants to make it easier for people to be happy?
