We aren't fools to fall in love, but let "coupledom" die... ban marriage ban marriage
People are morons, and Stephen Harper is one of the ring leaders. There was a protest on Saturday of people against same sex marriage in Canada. About 15 000 gathered together in a convention of people who think like it's 1940.
"I am committed, when I am elected prime minister - at the next election, whenever that may be - to bring in legislation that will define marriage as the union of one man and one woman," Harper said.
Laws change people, it's what keeps the world moving forward. It was once against the law for a white woman and a black man (and vice versa of course), but people realized how stupid that law was and changed it. It's time to realize how stupid it is to keep two people of the same sex who are in love from marrying one another, and getting the same benefits and "perks" a married man and woman can have.
As hard as I try, I can not understand why this is such an issue for people. There have been gay men and women for hundreds of years, and there will continue to be gay men and women for the rest of time. If they can marry or not will not effect this.
The sanctity of marriage. What the fuck is that? That comes up in every debate I've heard. A gay marriage takes away the sanctity of a straight marriage. Okay, so if you're so concerned with this, make it against the law for pop stars to get married for 45 hours, and than a few months later marry someone else, at the same time their greatest hits cd comes out. Or pass a law from J-Lo ever getting married again if (when) she divorces Marc Anthony and wants to try marriage again. Straight people get married for money, for publicity, for something to do on a Friday night when they are drunk and in Vegas, this is legal, but has nothing to do with the fucking sanctity of marriage. Please try again...
Some carried signs with the image of the late Roman Catholic leader Pope John Paul II, while others carried signs with slogans such as "God defined marriage, the government defies God."
You know there is a reason there is a separate of church and state. And okay, your church is against same sex marriage, don't let two men get married in your church, the law says nothing about that. Let them go to a Justice of the Peace or City Hall. Or hey, I know let's just make up a religion that is pro-same sex marriage. It worked for Henry VIII when he wanted to get a divorce so he could marry someone younger and get a son.
