[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is marriage off limits? For a long time marriage was about combining families of a certain pedigree, obtaining property, etc. What does it matter to me personally that 2 men or 2 women marry? It doesn't affect me.[/quote]

it affects others.   some people take sacraments seriously.[/quote]

[i]Your[/i] "sacrament" doesn't change if you're married in the church. Marriage is a [i]legal status[/i] recognized by countries and states. My marriage is strictly a civil one; I was not married in the church. Your religious sacraments do not affect me one bit and a civil marriage between same sex couples in no way affects or threatens your marriage.

Your lack of knowledge clearly demonstrates that you are unable to differentiate between the two. It's a civil rights issue, and I'm not at all surprised that someone like you fails to see it as such.

no, I've thought about it a good bit and recognize the points you make.  but I don't want to lessen the importance or change the meaning of my sacrament.  I'm ok with civil unions, just don't call it marriage.[/quote]

Do you know the legal difference between a civil union and a marriage? I'm pretty sure you haven't a clue.

Again, it doesn't lessen the importance of your "sacrament," because a sacrament is a religious rite, not a legal one.

we can change the definition of civil unions so the same rights are afforded.  stop trying to label me.  [b]I am probably sitting in the office next to you and we probably go to lunch twice a week. [/b] we just have a different opinion.  sorry.[/quote]

Actually, no. I don't befriend people like you, and every one of my coworkers supports same-sex marriage. [/quote]

right.  they don't tell you the truth because you are so militant.  every time people vote, the vote is the same.[/quote]

I work in a liberal environment, and we're all very vocal and are able to express our political beliefs. It's actually encouraged in my work environment. Three of my five coworkers have gay siblings, and we all have gay friends. One of my coworkers is gay, and we all attended his wedding. So, keep spewing your ignorance and hate, PP. You just make yourself look even more ridiculous with each post.  [/quote]
