I say, if your church or religion doesn't condone same sex marriage that's fine and dandy. But YOUR belief, or ANYONE else's beliefs, shouldn't trump MY rights.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579585545543464648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553815707336774090.post-45648812801782718432009-05-31T21:54:45.111-04:002009-05-31T21:54:45.111-04:00I respect your opinion, but the following is histo...I respect your opinion, but the following is historically false:<br /><br />"The word "marriage" have been defined as between male and female that is in every society."<br /><br />That is patently untrue. Marriage, sex and the way human beings have joined has been as varied as anything you can ever imagine.<br /><br />there are several GREAT histories on marriage, if you're truly interested, I could suggest several.<br /><br />Finally, what you're proposing is a "separate but equal" resolution to this issue. In my experience (and history bears me out) separate is NEVER equal.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579585545543464648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553815707336774090.post-56933053791725173542009-05-31T21:33:45.770-04:002009-05-31T21:33:45.770-04:00Eddie Blue Eyes great post and I can't argue with ...Eddie Blue Eyes great post and I can't argue with any of it and I love your points...But let me say this I opposed discrimination against gays and lesbians...With that said, however, I do not endorse the notion of same-sex marriage...There lies the problem...The word "marriage" have been defined as between male and female that is in every society... Civil unions I can endorse with all the rights and privileges thereof, marriage I can not I am being honesty...But I will fight alone side gays and lesbians for their civil rights because I believe every one who exit the womb of a woman desire the same rights no matter who you are...Now marriage, as in matris munium, is between a man and woman. All other pairings are unions.Ann Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273380949544392923noreply@blogger.com
