[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't equate opposition to gay marriage, which until a few short years ago would have been considered an extremely radical social concept, with "gay bashing" and, uh, "gaytred."   While I agree that society is moving in that direction, most people aren't there yet, so don't vilify legislators who vote against this agenda.  Frankly, because this effects such fundamental social change, it should be put on the ballot as in New Jersey.

By the way, I don't hear a lot of gay marriage advocates supporting the re-legalization of polygamy, but conceptually there's not a principled distinction between the two.  They are both alternative forms of social relationships, that go beyond the traditional man-woman marriage construct.[/quote]

Just because something is "traditional" doesn't make it "correct." It's that kind of thinking that got us into this mess to begin with.  And I'm sorry, I'm not gay but I find it off-putting that I would get to vote on whether gay people should be allowed to get married. Why do I get a say in that?? If I'm gay, I'm not all that in favor of putting my love-life up to someone else's vote.[/quote]

This is my point exactly!. 14:03, why do you get to vote on the life choices of another EQUAL human being? Are gay people minors or sub-human? Why do YOU get to be the one to lay down the laws by which they should live? [/quote]
