Maine Senate Passes Same-sex Marriage Bill

---

I think you left one thing out eddie.  Quote:I will agree that offspring cannot come from two males or two females but there are adoptions as well as surrogate mothers and sperm banks to where offspring is possible.It sickens me that you can call yourself a Christian and have such hatred in your blood. As long as two people love that child unconditionally they are a family. There are thousands of children in group homes and foster care who would love nothing more than a family to love them regardless of the family dynamics.Adam and I are starting our foster care classes this summer so we can participate in the Foster to Adopt program in Ohio. When we have a child in our home that we can love we will be a family unit. Thats all fine and fucking dandy,but who says a child is needed for a family?There are plenty of people with no kids, they are still a family.What I really love is all the shit they spout about judge not youll be judge by the same standard or what the fuck ever, but its cool to judge the fags! FUCK EM! they do not count, only real people, what the bible means is do not judge real people, but fags, and anyone who does not agree with what is in the big black book, go ahead and shit on them, they are non human they do not count.

yeah, well, it seems the fundamentalists are more hung up on definitions than they are on life.definition of marriage, definition of familydo they see how weak their arguments are?are they able to see the difference between faith and dogma?

What was that called, The Lambs Book of Life? If that's right I only know it from watching old Rooster Cogburn movies.

On a slightly less controversial note did you know the Cohen brothers are going to remake True Grit and do it keeping more with the Novel.

You did it! You one upped me you prick!Rooster? yeah that reference I know, but lambs book of life?Im too lazy to look it up, you win, you out obscure referenced me.

Oh come on, I expect better from you.

Miss Goodnight to The Marshall - "Pardon me for asking but is your name written in the Lambs Book of Life?"

Im a bigger fan of This Rooster than this one But I do like JOhn Fucking Wayne.I have not seen that movie in jesus fuck prolly atleast 20 years, and I could not of been more than maybe 5 when it came out? Yet I love old westerns, just never thought it was that great a show.

I call that bold talk from a one-eyed fat man

Fill your hands you son of bitch.

When will you guys figure out that sex is meant to be only between two consenting squirrels?

I think them squirrels are gay. Their so flamboyant with those big fluffy tails and all. Who do they think they're kidding.

No one is telling you what to believe or what to teach your kid about homosexuality.

No...they're just trying to do it in the classroom behind my back and against my objections. How about if I held your kid hostage and taught him/her a bunch of stuff you disagreed with behind your back and, when you found out and asked me to stop, I said "too bad, you don't have a choice."

Is it registering in your brain yet? Can you grasp the concept now?

I'm just wondering what do you think the "gay agenda" is? What is you think the ultimate goal is for these people?

I don't know about Eddie or the common gay person, but the activists are out to destroy the family unit in this country in any way they can...one of the tactics being to brainwash kids. But if you don't believe me, that's OK. It's going to go right along with or without your belief that it is. I'm just warning folks who care one way or another. Obviously some would rather stick their heads in the sand rather than confront what's going on and do something about it.

There should even been winners and losers at this point, Thor. There should be equals. Regardless of what you might think I am not lower than you or some scum on your shoe. I am your equal and that's how we should all be treated.

So, by your definition, an axe-murderer should be treated as an equal too...right? It might even be preferable as the end would come much more swiftly, but I digress. I do not think you are not equal and should not be treated with any less respect, but this does NOT make your actions acceptable. Your failure to be able to wrap your brain around the concept of accepting the person without having to accept all of their behaviors as well makes it truly impossible for you to ever understand where I'm coming from, so I'll end my response here.

Quote: I don't know about Eddie or the common gay person, but the activists are out to destroy the family unit in this country in any way they can...one of the tactics being to brainwash kids.You cannot be freaking serious? You need to get your head out of your ass. The only "agenda" we have is equality in the eyes of the law. We should not be treated like we are second-class citizens, but yet expected to pay the same amount in taxes and the like.Thor, you are probably just like this dickhead here in Ohio who has his own radio station and stated that all homosexuals are pedophiles. Its people like you that truly piss me off because you have no freaking clue but you talk as if you do. You talk as if we are some horrible people that want to destroy the Earth, but all we want is Equality? I mean seriously is that too freakin much to ask?? We could careless what people like you think of us, we are not looking for your approval, but we are looking for Equality under the law. Again is equality really that much to ask for? To be treated like human beings??  Quote:So, by your definition, an axe-murderer should be treated as an equal too...right? You are such a fucking extremist. You cannot even compare gay people wanting to be treated as equals to axe-murderers. This is the biggest issue I have with extremists like you that you always want to try and use scare tactics to get your way. Is it really that hard to mind your own damned business and let people live their own lives? I just cannot wrap my finger around why people I never met care so much about who I marry and spend me life with, it just makes absolutely no sense to me.  Quote:I do not think you are not equal and should not be treated with any less respect, but this does NOT make your actions acceptable. To YOU Thor… to YOU! And who the fuck are you?? You are no more important than I am. I could give a flying pigs ass if you think me being gay is unacceptable; I don’t have anything to prove to you. You are not my family, my friends, or my God. I have no need to impress you or change my life so I am accepted by you. I have said this over and over and over again that we not looking for acceptance because we know there will also being bigots like you in this world that cannot open your mind and understand just a little where we are coming from, but what we are looking for is equality.  Quote:Your failure to be able to wrap your brain around the concept of accepting the person without having to accept all of their behaviors as well makes it truly impossible for you to ever understand where I'm coming from Thor, Seriously? This is the whole freakin concept I have been trying to get you to understand for months!! I am not asking you to accept my behaviors or even accept that fact I am gay, but I am asking to be treated as an equal in society. Believe it or not Thor I respect your opinion on homosexuality its your opinion and you are allowed to have it, but what I don’t accept is the fact you can blatantly accept having us treated like we are second-class citizens and denied rights under the law.Regardless what you might think, Thor, homosexuals/bisexuals(etc) are no more evil or horrible as Heterosexuals. We just want to live our lives and be treated like we are equals, not like we are some horrible wretched people. Again I ask… is Equality under the Law really asking too much? (And sorry if I am coming off like an ass... I'm having a bad day)

your fear of simple facts is mind boggling. We see information, you see infection.
Here's where your problem is... You can't separate the concepts of evangelism from education. I know nothing I say means anything to you but this is a little revelation I had a few days ago while pondering this odd fear of social/civil education (including sex education but not limited to sex education)
I understand evangelism is part of the dochtrine of many religions. Unfortunately, it's often described as education. So it's easy to see how you can confuse secular education with evangelism. You just don't know any better.

There's education on how to think...but when you're telling kids what to think, with nothing but your own selfish interests in mind, it's no longer education. Their agenda has nothing to do with education...it's about pushing the idea on kids that homosexual activity is normal. I do not want the minds of my children to be fodder for their cause.

thank you for exemplifying my point.

Wow, you just described every fucking church to ever exist.But you support the churches right to do so?you dirty fucking hypocrite!

You can do whatever you want, teach whatever you want, in a private school. (But good luck getting folks to sign their kids up at "Homos R Us".) We're talking about public schools that my tax money funds. Religious freedom is guaranteed by the Constitution, though it is not taught in public schools. So why is it OK that something anti-religious be allowed to be pushed in public schools?So, no, no hypocrisy on my part...but plenty on the part of those who don't have a problem with what's going on now yet scream of kids try to say a prayer in school (yeah...you liberal wankers).

you are a biggot

Of course there is, Noone is telling the kids your gonna be a fag! they said there are cultures and family's different than yours and its not a reason to hate them.Thats it.But earlier in this post your screaming about how churches should be given passes to do what you are against in public schools, how is that not being a hypocrite?Maybe you should grab one of the books and give it a read, atleast know what your spouting off about.
