But thats how the majority rolls in the USA(taking a last name), and in the USA, majority wins!

FastNorwegian

Not really no.

Oh, I guess they just pick a name out of a hat then :P.

A basic understanding about how the government works or even history would teach you majority does not just rule in the US....

[QUOTE="FastNorwegian"]What exactly does this legal status represent? Marriage was around before the USA believe or not. In the Bible, and today, I think it is more than just a legal status.GabuEx

In the United States, if you're a man and a woman, you can just go and get a marriage certificate, and bam, you're married. Any religious aspects are purely ceremonial.

As an addition onto Gabu's statement, marriage has legal benefits as well. For example: making medical decisions for your spouse, inheritance rights, even without a will, visiting rights in jail, etc.

Actually, marriage is a legal status. ;)

What does the bible have to do with the legality of same-sex marriage?

Now this is just going in circles, I'm out. I'll be going...

I thought it was a pretty valid question that had yet to be addressed :|

It was. I think that was the reason for the response.

[QUOTE="battlefront23"] Men and women play different roles in this world. As do a husband and a wife. These are very important, sacred roles. Two wives or two husbands can't be something they're not and thus are ill-equipped to raise children. To clarify, I'm not saying they shouldn't be ALLOWED to, but I do think heterosexuals can do a better job.battlefront23

i for one feel those roles where defined by a society that is no longer important. one that says women need to do such things and men should do others. having a male and female role switch places (such as a stay at home dad). in no way effects how a child is raised. to me the one that does a better job is the one that best prepares their child for their future while showing them love the whole way. at the end of the day its the child that will eventually chooses their future. and while a parent plays an important role their brain is still their own and the sexuallity of a parents cannot effect that. men and women play the roles they choose to play not the ones defined by the mass majority and as such have the same potential in rasing a child in a "proper" fashion

That last line I like... "choose" is a good word to use. Men can "choose" to be real men when they have children, or to be boys and not step up and do the role God intended them to have. It is all about choice, and that choice is affected by the man's father and his father's father and so on. If a boy is not taught how to be a man by a man, how can he know what he should do in specific male circumstances? (I could go in specifics but I assume you know what I'm talking about) And the same could be said for a girl... Children need both care [which, even if you deny (in an ideal family), is primarily given by the mother] and discipline [again which, even if you deny (in an ideal family), is primarily given by the father] from their parents, and I believe men are ill-equipped to care and women are ill-equipped to discipline. And again, I'm not saying they CAN'T.

good post.

choice. they do not choose their sexual preference. love is a feeling. not a choice. many homosexual couples choose to adopt those children discarded by heterosexual couples. a father who is homosexual can teach their child to man up to their rights. to step up to those who demand you are wrong. to stick by what you believe in. to be the bigger man and make your own choice. a mother is capable of the same thing.

disciplin? tell my mom that women cant disciplin. she has a wooden spoon that says other wise. and my dad who i love more than anyone on the planet, is the most caring person i have ever come across. to me the ideal family balances both qualities among both parents. and homosexual couples are certainly capable of all of these thigns

Great. After all the hoopla by the previous administration to make marriage legally (Federally) between a man and woman, the states are slowly adding up. I'd bet more than half of the US will have a similar law in the next 5-10 years.

Ever hear of a single mother? There are tons of them, myself being raised by one, and I think I turned out fine, and most people who are raised by a single parent turn out fine. I have no idea where you get this notion that the oppisite sex is "ill-equpped"in certain aspects of raising a child. If you think that you can't care for or discipline a child, than you shouldn't have one, no matter what your gender is. Simple as that.

Breaking News: At 4:24pm, Gamespot time, the state of New Hampshire collapsed, allegedly from allowing homosexual marriage, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Attempts by paramedics to revive it were unsuccessul. Let us all have a moment of silence for NH...
