    Nice try, like it said BOOM.. there are other reasons to marry other than love. You have the same rights as I do. If I want to marry my buddy, to bad, so sad, can't do it. Now if my buddy was a woman, then that is fine. Boom.. just like you

    ugh.. Teach.. first of all. We've been through this before you and I. I actually have no opinion on the issue. I could care less if you want to marry someone of the same sex. I have family members who are gay and if it makes them happy to marry than so be it.

    My only point is that we are not talking about a civil rights issue. You have the same rights as I do. The constitution does not discuss homosexuality at all. There are states that will marry you, why will you not just go there?

    The primary reason to get married is because you love someone. You're really stretching for an argument here.

    Because my job, my friends, and my partner's family is all here. I shouldn't have to move to find equality. Again, I do not have the same rights you do. Saying I have the same rights is like saying black kids had the same rights, they just had to go to different schools on different buses and drink from different water fountains. It is completely illogical!

    By the way, you also need to go back and look up who I was responding to...I think you're replying to my response out of context.
