okay. i know not too many come here on a regular basis but i just need to get this out.
seems every fucker's argument now for keeping marriage exclusive to good ole heterosexuals is for the children. i don't really care about religious weddings but as far as civil unions are concerned i think they should be legal for everyone. here are some arguments:
1. i've never heard a thing about making children in wedding vows -- in fact, there's not one mention of kids in general christian vows. it's all about the love and devotion between the man and the woman.
2. sterile people should not be able to marry.
3. wife-beaters shouldn't be able to keep their marriage 'cause that's not a really good environment to raise a family. ditto alcoholics and drug addicts.
4. cheaters shouldn't be allowed to stay in a married relationship (i never heard the republicans say clinton's marriage was no longer legal).
5. old people shouldn't get, or stay, married. as soon as your kids go out on their own, you've done your duty, now get divorced.
6. orphans should stay orphans and stop bothering us about adopting them.
7. all the legal benefits of marriage should be reserved for couples with children.
8. gay people are not pedophiles - they like men or women (as you do), not children.
9. as you can see from the subtitle of this blog - love is all that matters. not sex, you fuck.
10. religious weddings and civil unions are two different things. civil unions offer benefits.
11. church and state should never cross paths (much less 'elect' a faith-based president).
ps. i do believe bush's coming out against gay marriage did not just accidentally coincide with a bunch of crap that was being (successfully) hurled at him (9/11 report, the continuing crapfest in iraq, ...). right now he's being semi-successful. but i do believe that the crap in iraq is just too unimaginable that it will be alive and kicking by the time this ban on gay marriage thing blows over. i mean, bushco's only trying to control the media spin here, i don't see them trying to make things right with the iraq situation (outside of just policing the damn thing to hell).
pps. shit. i know the church is old school but the inclusion of this "I will live first unto our God and then unto you, loving you, obeying you, caring for you and ever seeking to please you." is mindboggling since it's not in the man's vows - at all. the man's vows includes "leadership". lol. yep. someone needs to redo those vows.
