1st civil unions take place in Delaware

I love coming on these comment boards and watching everyone commenting about the subject, some in a positive way, some in a negative way. The funny thing is, we are all fussing to a concrete wall. When we leave this comment board, we will all go right back to the same ideas we had before we sat down to read others' comments and give a rebuttal on it. When we leave this comment board, nobody will have changed their minds one way or another. The gays arguing will not change the straights minds, nor will the straights have changed any gays' minds. We all might as well be talking to the wind, it will not matter one bit. But I still love coming to these boards, reading what opinions everyone has and commenting on them too. It makes my day a bit more cheerful. lmao!

Does it ever say marriage or is it just civil union?

Yep ... Time to play more Battlefield 3 !!

Gay marriage is a untapped resource for our nations divorce lawyers.

Delaware, such a liberal State.

ah gotta love the states - such uproar for a right we have as standard - the right to lose half ya #$%$ in the divorce.

and as usual when people cannot back up their statements with fact they resort to throwing out the old reliable stones of hate and hypocritics. As well as blaming one political faction against another. If you cannot support your statement without resorting to stuff like this then you already have lost the argument.

Drew Fennell is partner to Lisa Goodman, but Drew Fennell is marrying Patricia Goodman, and only Patricia Goodman? Is this marriage between all three, or only two?

Don't like gay marriage? Get over it. The sanctity of marriage went out the window as soon as $75 could get you married in Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. The tradition of marriage is a tradition of redefining it as society progresses. The right to deny marriage to same-sex couples ended the moment that the government became involved and gave it civil rights/privileges/responsibilities.

The institution of marriage is sacred and must be protected. That's why the divorce rate is over 50%....

A civil union performed by a Reverend?

All of the gays must be North of the Mason-Dixon line, because all the states approving gay marriages are Northern states with the exception of California.

Over population will be taken care of by global warming, disease, war, famine etc... that is natures way.

Marriage is a set of priviledged rights for a prescribed behavior, just like a drivers license is.
No state is required to have marriage laws. If they didnt have marriage laws, the Supreme Court could care less. The Supreme Court wouldnt do a thing about it.
If the State decided to ban you from living together that is quite different, but that isnt marriage.

It was amusing to dismantle the anti-homosexual crowd on here

I am a lesbian. I want to marry the woman I been living and loving for more than 20 years. You will not be with us when we go to the Court and file for a Marriage License. You will not be invited to our celebration. Since we do not believe in you church, nor your good, nor your religion; we will not be holding our wedding ceremony in a Bible/Jesuschrist believing Church.

Can you tell me now how does this have anything to do with you since you are not affected in any way.

Just because you fear and hate gay doesn't mean gay people have an agenda or want to be treated different. I want just to protect my show my infinite love to my partner for more than 20 years and legally and financially be protected under the laws (laws that you can enjoy but I can’t because I’m not married).

And heterosexuals used think that:
The universe revolved around the earth
and Gods lived in mountains
and women determined the sex of the child
and a man's masculinity is defined by the number of children he has
and women love it when a man dumps a load in her, over and over again
and girls could get pregnant from river nymphs and ................
It is really embarrassing how long it takes them to understand anything.......

Homosexuality is a mental disorder created by people with serious social problems.
Do you see those people in the pictures above. They just don't look right. They just
look like they have something wrong with them. They definately have some kind of
chemical imbalance going on inside their heads and it needs to be cured. Any man
who can stick their D*** inside another mans s#!Ty ar_se hole has some serious
mental problems and that's all that's to it.

At the outset, I will say that I am a conservative, married, church-going Christian. But I must say that I am ashamed to be associated with some people who profess to be "Christians" who constantly spew out hate and hurtful statements towards their fellow human beings. Christianity is about loving one's neighbor as one's self, and not "casting a stone" at someone.

I don't know if homosexuality is a sin or not, but even if it is, it is way down the pecking order of sins that we humans are guilty of. I am sure that God is much more concerned with sins like hate and violence, than who someone chooses to love. And until any man or woman can say that their house is 100% clean and pure, what right do they have to pass judgment on someone else? Let's all just live and let live, and leave the judging to God!

When a nations morals collapse the nation will follow.
