People who are opposed to homosexual are not bigots. They are idiots. They foolishly cling to the belief that there is something sacred about marriage. (witness the passage of prop 22 here in california, where cal will not recognize legal gay marriages performed in other states.)
If I hear anything else about the ‘sanctity’ of marriage, I’m going to puke. The Fox network auctioned of bride on national tv who had the audacity to later complain she did not know who she was marrying. Even through tradtional courting, the failure rate of marriage is over 50%. ELIZIBETH TAYLOR HAS BEEN MARRIED 8 TIMES FOR CHRIST’S SAKE.
Lets be real. Gays cannot make any more of a sham of marriage than the straights have.
There are already petitions being circulated to get a proposition on the ballot okaying gay marriage in November (in CA). If I see one, I’ll be pleased to sign it.
Pashley, where are you from? You don’t really seem to have a very clear idea of California’s layout, so I wanted to clarify this for you. San Francisco is actually quite a small city (700,000 people - San Jose has over a million) and the entire Bay Area has 6 million people. While this makes it one of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation, it doesn’t even compare with the 13 million people in the greater LA area, and the several million more in the San Diego area. Bay Areans are very liberal and proud to be so, but SoCal is much more conservative, and there a LOT more of them.
Fun stat I read today (sorry no link, read it in the SF Chron): 36% of Bay Area residents have a BA. 18% of LA residents have a BA. Does greater education create liberalism? That’s a topic for another GD, I suppose.

Proud to…
…be a San Franciscan
…be a liberal
…have voted NO on Proposition 22
As somebody already noted, I closed down Orion’s homosexuality thread because people couldn’t get along. I will give exactly one warning here. I’ve seen people called idiots, assholes, etc., and it is to stop RIGHT NOW.
It’s not foolish. If most of those didn’t think it was something sacret about it, then I doubt if many would marry.
You are just jealous because you are “abnormal”. Get your self a girl and marry like the other.
And how many would puke if they saw two men marry each other ?
I believe that many people are a bit confused. Walues are becoming very relative these days. And once again I think we could place part of the blame on the homosexuals. They seems to use every situasion in society to reach their goals. They confuses the masses just to justify their own lifestyle.
Like “the other”? Like the other what? The other closet homosexuals? The other guys falling into a marriage they’re uncomfortable with because they feel they “ought” to marry, either to show the world how “responsible” they are or from fear of being singled out (so to speak) as “odd”?
I will not make a Mr. Checkov joke, I will not make a Mr. Checkov joke, I will not make a Mr. Checkov joke, …
My question is: are they asking for rights or priviledges?
Some people have said that homosexuality is a sin. Well, so apparently is lying, adultery, and witchcraft.
Yet liars, witches, and adulterers are allowed to marry, vote, drink, etc.
Isn’t marriage a right?
Its not like homosexuals are asking to be allowed to drink and drive or smoke in non-smoking areas.
Just the right to marry.
I CANNOT see how it harms ME.?
