Bush Backs Amendment To Ban Gay Marriages

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

On Monday, our lovely president will be promoting a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages. The amendment will prohibit states from recognizing same-sex marriages.

Quoted from CNN, ``The president firmly believes that marriage is an enduring and sacred institution between men and women and has supported measures to protect the sanctity of marriage,'' White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said.”

President Bush needs to take that bible out of his glory hole. Not everyone in this country is part of the religious right. Why can’t we, as Americans, have freedom from religion and our civil rights? Where is the equality? President Bush needs to stop this discrimination.

So on Monday, I guess we should listen to Bush justify a banning on gay marriages.


Dont get me wrong, I am not a person who hits people with the bible, but I think you might want to read this.

Now I will only touch on this then I will tell you something that may make your getting married in the future hopefully better.

The commndment, do not TAKE the name of God, your lord in vein. Key word which EVERYONE FORGETS, TAKE. People change it to USE and they think it means swearing. Thats it on the bible thing. But It had to be said and if you ever get powerful and mislead people you will have no excuse.

Unless a woman is weak in spirit when she is married, she TAKES her new husbands name. He GIVES this to her, and in marriage he is saying. "I TRUST you, I LOVE you so now the things you do, the love you show, the WORDS YOU SAY, are as my words, and my thoughts." This was its original intent, thus the seriousness of it. This has been lost in the media age of lies and misleadings. Just like the media today, people trust them and they only betray us. Stop quoting CNN! We are not helping people to understand this Gay thing. We are simply perpetuating what the media is throwing up at us so they can make more money. Nothing is sacred, trust is something for the good guy and good guys finish last. Why be faithful, the big movie stars arent?
Hey its your life. Want to live it or be a fool?

The exchange of names was intended originally to mean from a woman "I love you, and you can TRUST me with that thing a man holds most high, your name, and I will not betray this". Any woman that feels that she was FORCED into taking her husbands name is a fool. She has NO IDEA of the sacrement of marriage, or what it means, and I know these ideals and values are now lost to a world of liars and the fools who believe the liars.
I have no children because my wife and I see this. No matter how loud we shout, the values go right down the drain. I was adopted, and my adoptive father no longer speaks to me and I understand this. I will not secure that his name will go on. He has old family values, and they are good ones. He is however a victim of the status quo, The old voice of the media machine. The Beaver cleaver machine, the keep up with the Jones's machine.
He adopted my sister and I, both blonde hair and blue eyes because my parents believed that blonde hair and blue eyes were superior children, this was Hitlers idea, because he loved blonde haired blue eyed little boys.

Maybe if we looked in the right places instead of following the examples of Bacharach and Hitler we would have our eyes opened to a new beautiful world, and how beautiful would a marriage be when things like this are understood. My wife took my name at 20 years old, and she understood what this meant. We have both been faithful to eachother for sixteen years and our love and understanding still grows. We both work hard and have never had anything given to us. We both have been through money problems, sickness and prosperity, always supporting one another with undieing love that most people TRUELY DONT HAVE or UNDERSTAND. They dont have it, they will never understand it, thanks to people who have forgotten this, and belittle the sacrement of marriage. Hey dont get mad at me, you can go ahead and take it lightly and ruin your own marriage.

My question now Why dont gays exchange names in marriage. I have been to a lesbian wedding and my old friend still keeps here name and so does her "spouse"
Of course I see Gay as the corporate machine's way of making something they want to be, accepted, this helps only their bank accounts. Wait till its legal all over the country. The question now is this, how much of the good life are you willing to throw away because your simply too lazy to find out the truthes of life? How long will you let CNN NBC FOX ABC and CBS run your life?
How long are you going to drink and eat their poison? And will you drink their soda with chemicals which break down your body before you realise that the advertising and poliical machine is killing you?
I mean BOTH SIDES!
Republicans lie about everything, and Democrats lie about, well everything.
Dont tell me that Progressive is better, because once the rich, and YES all party leaders are rich liars, get their hands into it, it will be the same crap throwing party as the rest.
My point? Stop being lazy, go to your library, read about everything. If you read enough history you will see the manipulation all the way back to 270 BC
What else are we lied to about?

Magellan did not discover the world was round, Eratosthenes did.

When you were in school they told you that Pluto was he farthest planet from the sun, Neptune was in the seventies.

When cigarettes came out people were told that it was good for them.

In the twenties people were told to be afraid that there was going to be another ice age.

Now they have the fear of the mighty bird flu.

I dont know where to stop so I will stop right there. You should get my point.

Good thing you stopped right there, because what you say is nonsense. Once you start talking commandments your argument doesn't seem to hold much for me.

We are not helping people to understand this Gay thing.

What is there to understand? When people are attracted, they are attracted. It doesn't matter if it's a vagina or a penis that draws your attention. Everyone has their own preference. Exactly what is there to understand about this "gay thing"?

The commndment, do not TAKE the name of God, your lord in vein. Key word which EVERYONE FORGETS, TAKE. People change it to USE and they think it means swearing. Thats it on the bible thing. But It had to be said and if you ever get powerful and mislead people you will have no excuse.

I'll have no excuse? Oh god, I think I'll be alright.

Maybe if we looked in the right places instead of following the examples of Bacharach and Hitler we would have our eyes opened to a new beautiful world, and how beautiful would a marriage be when things like this are understood.
So exactly where should we be looking?

My question now Why dont gays exchange names in marriage.
Why should anyone have to? Marriage isn't just about names, there are other benefits, you know, the "non-sacred" kind of benefits. Also that is just generalizing, some do, just as within some straight couples, the woman may or may not take her husband's last name. And sometimes, the man takes the woman's last name. They must be a major fool in your eyes huh? Not everyone cares about marriage being ''sacred", and again not everyone is affiliated with religious mumbo jumbo, so they shouldn't be penalized by it.

Of course I see Gay as the corporate machine's way of making something they want to be, accepted, this helps only their bank accounts.
Are you serious?

I just don't see how Mr. and Mr. Joe Homosexuals down the road getting married can harm my own marriage to my husband. What do they mean by protecting marriage?

Do they think that if we allow homosexuals to marry, then the heterosexuals' marriages won't mean as much, some how? I doubt that two people of the same sex getting married will demean or devalue my own marriage.

I agree with ya, who someone chooses to marry won't harm my marriage or make it less valued.

What the religious right loves to quote is they are trying to “preserve the sanctity of marriage.” Nothing against straight people, but the only ones I see crapping on marriage is them with a divorce rate of over 50%. They have also allowed you to be able to be married by Elvis one day and get divorced the next. The religious right forgets that a marriage certificate is a government issued certificate granting government issued benefits. The religious right can continue to discriminate like they have done for thousands of years for all I care. We are talking about government benefits that my partner and I of 26 years have been denied, but pay taxes to help support. We both come from large families who give us their full support. My own brothers and sisters have all been married and subsequently divorced and some remarried. We are the only ones that have remained together. If they would like to help, they need to stop promoting discrimination and hate and start acting like true Christians.

The only reason we see straight people crapping on marriage with a divorce rate of over 50% is because we're the only ones allowed to get married here =P

But I agree with you with all the BS about preserving the sanctity of marriage.

The government discriminates against same sex marriage, yet there is no discrimination about who pays taxes. We're taking baby steps towards equality. At least now, a lot of corporations are giving benefits to employees and their "life partner" (I hate that word; I'd rather say husband or wife). It helps, but still, everyone should have the right to marry the person they choose, regardless of their sex.
