How do YOU know youre moral position is the right one?

And no government can "approve" marraige - they can choose to recognize it or not, and Gays can get the same rights afforded to Straights if they wanted to -

I think this will put more pressure on America to recognize gay marriage--maybe even polarize America--gay state and straight state.

who cares if you offend them or their supporters--those damn liberals can call people christian taliban and racists and have gay pride marches. What would happen if you had an antigay protests--its the same thing with eminant domain. Everyone is so quick to blame Bush for all government decisions when in fact the 5 justices who voted in favor of this were a little "to the left". And look at Rove's comments--which talks bad about liberals--has apparently offended the dems., and are now considering him to be a traitor and unpatriotic. Isnt it the dems whos whole agenda is putting down the pres./ repub party, comapring them to Nazis and Stalin? Wasnt it the dems who screamed and cried about election fraud--when there have been 2 instances in the last couple months of Dem. chairmen being arrested for offering money and alcohol in exchange for votes? Thats why I try not to get involved in politics, everybody is right and everybody is wrong. Im just waiting for the "big one"-the south will rise again cool:

all that I have to say is gays are the new blacks

because my moral position allows for compensation for both parties. if you are gay and want to be married to another gay person you can. if you arent gay and want to be married to someone who isnt gay then you can. both sides get something.

the opposing moral position only satisfies one sides wishes while the other is forced to accept discriminiation in order to satisfy the others point of view.

that said, my moral position is better.

Gay pride marches AREN'T anti-heterosexual. So it wouldn't at all be like having an anti-gay march. Therefore, you have no basis for an argument.

Think of the children.....er there won't be any children unless one of them is a cheating cumdumpster.

If no children are going to be produced by the union of these two people, why should the state condone the union?

Gay people have every right to be married and miserable, just like the rest of us.
