  • I am not dealing ...

    I am not dealing with the issue of race, just so you know, what the Bible says that Thou shalt not lie with mankind as well with the womenkind. Your mouth smells like a dead rat by the idle words that you speak and also cursing God. Ye must be born again.

  • Homosexuals ...

    Homosexuals shouldn't get too comfortable because Californians will vote to amend the state's constitution making one man, one woman permanant. Order and common sense will be restored.

    yeah, right!!! how many children have been adopted by heterosexual parents and have been abused??? soo, don't judge a single case only, don't judge a book by its cover, and don't compare 2 different things, just accepts that there are good people and bad people, regardless of their sexuality. people deserve to be happy, so get over sexuality thing

  • Why not? Because ...

    Why not? Because your book says so? What religious doctrines say have no bearing on legislation, or on the government in general.

  • I can't help ...

    I can't help wondering why your gay parents would adopt such a cynical kid. They really owe you responsibility for education, especially for modern human sexuality.

    BTW, don't ever relate child molestation to gay people: 60-70% of child molestation are commited by hetrosexuals. If you think stop gay marriage can stop child molestation - then you'd better stop opposite sex marriage too.

    I feel sorry for your gay parents, it's hard to educate born-trash.

  • Sorry ...

    Sorry BigBreakHK1234, I don't know where my mom is. I have never seen her. People say I was born to someone, but I don't know who she is and I don't fxxking care where she is.

    I am adopted by a gay couple (two men). Neither one of them are biologically related to me.

    I will never know if I marry my own biological sister.

    Tell me how I can fxxk my mother when a mom does not exist?

  • Marriage = a man + ...

    Marriage = a man + women?
    you are polygamy supporters?

    Did God tell you in person that gay marriage = evil? Come on, you'd rather believe written hearsay?

    What make you so sure "I am OK with incest"?
    I think incest is the biggest crime on earth, esp when minors are invloved. Also, incest result moronic/retarded offsprings - wait, are you one of them?

    Don't put words into others mouth: like: I am sure o2haraz fxxk his mom.

  • BigBearHK1234, ...

    BigBearHK1234,

    Would you accept marriage between a human and a animal? I believe marriage should be "between a man and women". Having relationships between same sex is not a problem. But let the marriage be like that.

    You are ignorant! God forbid this kind of evil things. I am sure you will be OK with incest as well. When would you approve marriage between a brother and a sister? Sister and sister? Brother and brother? Mother and sister? Father and sister?

  • o2haraz, consult a ...

    o2haraz, consult a licenced psychologist and ask him/her if there are any difference btw str8/gay parents, please get your knowledge updated!!!

    What a child need is love and care, which is much more important to identities of parents.

    The genuine things leading to human extinction are ignorance and hatred.

    Since when US citizens must seek your approval to develop same-sex realtionship? Who are you, God?

    You guys are so lucky to be born in the states for the your rights you have.

    Then if you want to "marry" by the church or any religious institution that oppose this "law" just remember the constitution........because I see lawsuits accusing religious institutions..... of "discrimitation".....then see peple getting "married" won't remmember it, only when it's convenient!!
