Mock panel-argument to inquire.

[mindless_stares]

Today's mock panel in class was interesting, to say the least.  I found our "experts" to be most amusing in their characters.  Chris had several good points about his character.  A little extreme to change one's sex for more or less experimental purposes, but if that was what "Lisa" wanted, then she got it.  Our masculinity expert seemed at times a

I'm "against" same sex marriage. Sort of.

Marriage is a religous instution, not a legal institution. Atleast, initially. Why do Atheists get married? Agnostics? Plus, seperation of church and state. On don't think the law should tell churches what to do one way or the other.

I'm for civil unions for EVERYONE for all legal rights and individual churches can decide what they honor and what they don't. Because some do condone gay marriage.

Wow...honestly, I forgot anybody read this :)

That is true, marriage IS a religious institution, not a legal one. I always thought church and state should be separated; mixing it leads to shit on top of shit. I mean hell, some people can live together, never get married in a church or any religous sanction, but according to the state still be married anyway. That's kind of how it was for you at one point, right?

Which ones condone gay marriage? I didn't know any of them did, except for that one in California.

Yup, Texas pretty much married me at one point despite the fact I never exchanged vowes. Didn't bother for a divorce, although I guess I could have. She's engaged for real now. I should be an asshole and after her marriage goes down be like, no, um, you're legally married to me still. That wasn't valid.

Only not, but that's funny. Something that would happen in a movie. [*takes not for future plot ideas*]

You know, I don't know what specific denominations condone same sex marriage. I'm not sure that any do. I had a friend who was friends with a gay couple that married in a Texas church. I think some nondenominational church's sanction gay marriages. Not sure if any whole denomination does though. I think episcopalians maybe? Idk...

So she would be a bigamist...indeed, that WOULD be hilarious. Is that mean of me to say, especially since I don't know her? Maybe I'm just being biased because I love you and such. :D

I agree; I think the discussion went quite well. :)
