Rebecca 0 #30 February 20, 2004 QuoteQuoteIf anything, gays fighting to wed is reinforcing that lost sacredness (if that makes sense). I think you're saying that gay people fighting for marriage rights is putting the importance back in the institution. If someone wants it that badly, it must be worthwhile. Am I right? EXACTLY! The marriages that have been fought for will be cherished that much more. It's not a bond "to be entered into lightly", like too many straight couples do. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Deuce 1 #33 February 20, 2004 QuoteShould I be allowed to commit to my lover of 5 years or not? [YES] or [NO] You already have. Should you be allowed to continue, of course. You want a court wedding, go ahead. And Mr. Bill. Puh-lease. The only reason I can think of that anyone should bother getting married is if they intend to raise children together. And I'm the farthest thing from paranoid of plots or whatever, I'm just curious as to what else is on the wish list of equal treatment. I understand both arguments, they seem just about equally valid, and as usual we're going to let the courts decide. And they can change their mind later. I did answer the question: Whatever.

skydyvr 0 #34 February 20, 2004 QuoteYeah...I wonder if this is part of the bible code that chuteless deciphered. Not sure about the secret codes, but this is just another aspect of the whole "sliding down the shitter" (pun intended) thing that keeps happening to societies throughout history. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #48 February 20, 2004 Absolutely not. Children do best in two parent households. That is undeniable fact. There are individual exceptions, but they do quite a bit better statistically. For the record, my folks divorced when I was about 12. I am curious how the children of committed openly gay folks are doing/will do. It's an interesting time.

labrys 0 #49 February 20, 2004 I don't question the value of getting married to raise kids. I just question that it's the only good reason to marry.... legal rights and benefits seem pretty important to me: Here are a few of the 1,049 benefits the United States government provides to couples in a heterosexual marriage: Access to Military Stores Assumption of Spouse’s Pension Bereavement Leave Immigration Insurance Breaks Medical Decisions on Behalf of Partner Sick Leave to Care for Partner Social Security Survivor Benefits Sick Leave to Care for Partner Tax Breaks Veteran’s Discounts Visitation of Partner in Hospital or Prison Here are a few of the state level benefits within the United States: Assumption of Spouse’s Pension Automatic Inheritance Automatic Housing Lease Transfer Bereavement Leave Burial Determination Child Custody Crime Victim’s Recovery Benefits Divorce Protections Domestic Violence Protection Exemption from Property Tax on Partner’s Death Immunity from Testifying Against Spouse Insurance Breaks Joint Adoption and Foster Care Joint Bankruptcy Joint Parenting (Insurance Coverage, School Records) Medical Decisions on Behalf of Partner Certain Property Rights Reduced Rate Memberships Sick Leave to Care for Partner Visitation of Partner’s Children Visitation of Partner in Hospital or Prison Wrongful Death (Loss of Consort) BenefitsOwned by Remi #?

Example: 75% of current incarcerated violent felons came from fatherless homes.
