okay, so i'm straight, but i have no problem with homosexuals, why would i? thats their life and it has nothing to do with mine, so why do so many politcians and people in gerenal make it their issue? George Bush wants to make an amendment saying that no man and man or woman and woman can get married...his reasoning; 'it will ruin the family' i understand what hes saying, hes saying that the ideal american family is a husband, wife, and 2 children. exactly what bush has...'and well if we let gays get married they will start having families and that will ruin out american picture!'
thats bullshit. yano why? you dont need to be married to start a family...and just because you have a mother and father doesnt make them good parents, which then doesnt make it a good family, im sure bush is actually a shitty father because of how often he works, he brought his family into the public eye and anytime his daughters do anything wrong...they get caught. im not suprised on how often his kids drink, now im not trying to bash bush or his family but that is a stupid reason to not let homosexuals get married. its all bullshit. anyone who opposes homosexual marriage is a freakin homophobic. and theres no reason for it, who the hell cares about someone you dont even know? i sure dont. two guys get married? omg the world is coming to an end. they should have rights just as anyone else. i read this piece in my humanities class "masulinty as homophobia" by Michael Kimmel....
"what we call masculinty is often a hedge against being revealed as a fraud""this then is the great secret of American manhood: we are afraid of other men.""homphobia is the fear that other men will unmask us, emasculate us, reveal to us and the world that we do not measure up, that we are not real men.""our fear is the fear of humiliation. we are ashamed to be afraid."
in all reality its none of your business if a man and a man get married on the other side of the country...you dont know them. and if you do, you should support them. its not your place to say "you cant get married" if people love eachother, they should have the right.

By not letting homosexuals marry, people are actually prohibiting families from occuring.
i was a little worried that this was a touchy subject, which it is but its such an important one, the people that dont support it...well actually the people that are against it are ignorant and nieve.
you dont have to support it, just dont be against it, its not your life.
Its a diverstion tactic. They are playing on a nation's homophobia to keep us from looking the war and the economy. Its working too.

bush may be seeing it as a diversion tactic. but we all know this is how he feels, its a known fact, and at the other time no one has forgot about the war this isnt even a big issue that has come out
no one really thinks about this long enough to forget about the war.
Maybe that's the way it is up North in this country. But in the south, or at least the state I live in...people seriously do not even care about the war. They care about homosexuality, and being pro-life. The war to them is not even debatable. because of this huge need to keep the Homosexuals in check, they do not even question the war or bush, because he is taking care of those homos.
Maggie
and that very statement you make, shows that you agree with bush, maybe your just pulling the wool over your own eyes in thinking thats whats happening. bush is about a country not about one city in the south...cause if your comparing it to where you live it would be the city...not the state, because things change from city to city.
I think you missed the sarcasm in that comment. It's hard to get sarcasm when someone is typing. I don't think that she is saying she agrees with Bush, she's saying that the people in her city/state aren't concerned with other issues than homosexuality because they believe that Bush has "taken care of" that issue.

Exactly. There's no reason to step in between two people who are in love. They blow off about all this freedom we have..but if we want to do something they don't like..they want to take that freedom away. I have a few homosexual friends, and they're just people like you and me. Their sexual preference doesn't make them who they are.
