No, all people. You can have it too. No one is denying you that when you get married.

Yup. It's not my fault who's straight and who isn't.

Just for the sake of my own knowledge, exactly why would marriage not be a right?

I can't stop people from having a ceremony and doing whatever they want, but again money is involved if you normalize it or make it legal etc. Why do I care is easily answered by the above and by wondering why should something I'm so opposed to have their hand in the til? We can't afford what we have promised as it is.

"We"? You mean, you and the other tax paying heterosexuals because gay people don't pay taxes? Guess what? I have paid school taxes all of my adult life and I don't have kids. In fact, my whole family has paid school taxes while sending our kids to private schools and homeschooling. Most heterosexuals don't even pay enough in taxes to cover the cost of their kids going to public schools.

We. Indeed.

If we had a moratorium on gay threads I don't think Nova would post here anymore.

I hereby pledge to not start any threads about the gays.

You know, I was thinking a few minutes ago that I've never talked so much about or read so much about gay marriage EVER until I started posting here again. I regret I said anything in this thread because I'm not really interested in talking about it.

And nova I wasn't implying gay people don't pay taxes. I was implying that gay people shouldn't expect a different or special right. We yes WE can all get married. Like I said before I don't decide who's gay or straight.

Nova and I see eye to eye on very little. He was always a big proponent of killing crazy muzzies with impunity so we let him hang around. But it's all about the gay now. Too bad.
