Please continue - I think its an interesting debate... and it seems you have someone else here to fight your corner in Herr. I still fail to understand, so would be interested in you providing more conclusive reasons for your POV.

Nobody has the same viewpoint here completely but I'd bet my house that most people here support gay rights here.
(And I like my house. And I rarely bet. )

Perhaps others who would tend to agree with lextra may not find such a one-sided environment to be a place of interest. ;)
Nonetheless, your suggestions that someone who agrees with lextra does not support gay rights is flawed logic since it is abundantly true that full support of gay rights and support of civil unions (as opposed to the legal term of marriage) can live in the same realm, lest you agree that Bill Clinton, Barack obama, Hillary Clinton, for examples, do not support gay rights.

That is absolutely not the case. Take insurance policies, for example. They vary from state to state and are not transferable across state borders; a totally new and different contract would be required.

--- Quote from: optom3 on September 23, 2008, 11:21:35 am ---I simply cannot understand why people have such a problem with gay marriage.If we talk globally for a minute, there are plenty of faiths which allow the man to have more than one wife.In fact in early Christianity there are plenty of examples of polygamy, to allow for the birth of more children.I believe, even here in the USA that holds true,illegally, for certain splinter groups of one faith. So what therefore defines a "typical marriage"The answer is there is no such thing. A male member of the Islamic faith could quite legitimately argue his right to take up to 4 wives.We may not all agree with it.However it is permitted within the tenets of his faith.

Not sure how this comment lends itself to the gay marriage debate.
No one suggests that the variety of cultures and religions across the earth have a large spectrum of mating and family structures. So what? That does not mean citizens of the U.S. or any other country should, therefore, adopt any or all of those varieties as part of their own social structure, any more than we would find slavery, child abuse, and other 'globally' accepted practices as worthy of inclusion to our set of values.
Kelda:
So Herr, Yu're gay aren't you? Why are you oppossed to gay marriage? I'm guessing its not becasue you like to be down on yourself... so .... why?
