My sexual orientation and my positions on gay rights

--- Quote from: letxa2000 on September 23, 2008, 12:13:15 am ---Get over the inferiority complex you apparently have. If your concern is really about rights, take the civil unions and have your rights. But if this is about you feeling like society recognizes you as just as important or whatever, you're not going to achieve that by bitching and moaning all the way to the Supreme Court trying to change the definition of marriage which might make you feel good but will make others feel pretty ticked off. That's really not going to increase your stature in society.

Perhaps you need to get over your superiority complex. Hiding behind "tradition". Your tradition and beliefs hold me to be a lesser person than you, and that is unacceptable. Ticking people off? Perhaps it is time those people walked a mile in our shoes.

I am a straight woman married to a man. I dont believe in divorce. I would not have taken my wedding vows if I wasnt planning on staying with my husband "till death do you part"
I would like to see equal rights for everyone. I believe in GBLT Rights all the way.
If two woman want to be married or two men or a transgendered marriage, then so be it. I dont think that transgenders should be discriminated against. As it stands now from what I know, they can get married but must identify themselves on all legal documents as "transgendered".
I cant believe on this whole forum not one person has come out as being transgender. It would give me great honor to get to know you if you are here. Please PM me. :)

You keep saying you have to defend some hypothetical person who might oppose it at our expense.
For me the question is why do you oppose it?

--- Quote from: southendmd on September 22, 2008, 11:05:55 pm ---To me, the term should be "civil marriage". Marriage is a legal contract, with a license granted by the state or locality.
--- End quote ---
I say that's the only kind there is. Marriage belongs to civil society.
We permit churches to conduct marriages if it darnedly well pleases us to let them do it. :)

--- Quote from: letxa2000 on September 22, 2008, 11:24:30 pm ---it's the height of arrogance to think that you'll automatically get what you want just because you want it really bad.
--- End quote ---
Who says we think we'll automatically get it? We never have gotten anything automatically.
The height of arrogance is to try to sway an entire dicussion of principles by chiding hard-working people for trivial supposed misdeeds that you make up yourself, which is what you are doing. ;)
