[quote:f680a]you are so wrong, we need laws to prevent these things from happening, we dont need the ammend the Constitution for them. trying to say having gays marry and child molestation is the same is a very strange view and very wrong, if you spin it enough it may start to make sense[/quote:f680a]

Who said it was the same? I didnt. However, you are asking government to intervene and make a decision defining social behavior. In THIS COUNTRY, a person must be permanently registered as a sex offender because at 18 he slept with his 16/17 year old girlfriend (or genders vice-versa). Is that right? In other countries, and hell even in communities here in the US, its not a fair law. According to the government it is. However, we accept its application because it maintains the social fabric.

Recognition of homosexuals marrying is the same thing. We legislate morality EVERY DAY - including moral behavior with no immediate damaging effect on those involved our the societies around them. Saying we should do one but not the other is just silly
