Defend Marriage!!!!!

Recommended Posts

OK, for all those who want to ban gay marriage because you want to defend the institution of marriage, would you vote to ban divorce and why? Wouldn't banning divorce do a hell of a lot more to defend marriage than banning gays from getting married?

Banning divorce would pretty much end the institution of marriage. I'm all for it. If I can't have legal rights, no one gets 'em. I like that idea.

Edited to add.... my answer isn't really "legal" because I'm not for banning gay marriage in the first place. Sorry, Keith.

can anyone explain how banning marriage protects it?


I think it protects some people from seeing any resemblance whatsoever between their relationships, likes, and dislikes and those of homosexuals.

Why else won't real men eat quiche? :)
Others seem to get uncomfortable with changing the meanings underlying names -- my dad (who is more liberal than I am) is uncomfortable with gay marriage, because marriage has a very definite picture in his mind. Of course, he also believes that it's OK to pay a married man more than a woman because he has a family to support.

We, um, argue about that one sometimes.

Banning divorce would just increase the level of domestic violence.



Nah, people would just be married and living with other people.

Nice poll. Outlawing divorce is just as stupid as banning gay marriages. Both impose a standard of moral belief upon the citizenry, which is what Jefferson was writing about in his letter to the Danbury Baptists - the document where 'separation of Church and state' can be found (note to American Communiests and Liberals United - it's not in the first ammendment).

I knew this thread would go without comment from the "marriage defenders." Why? Because we're not talking morals here, we're talking uneducated hatered. UNEDUCATED HATERED??? Coincidentially, I was watching Road Rules tonight :S One of the cast members is pretty homophobic but "tries" not to be. From the first time I saw him I knew he was gay. I hope he comes to terms with who he is and realizes he's OK. Society has a way of fucking people up so they'll conform.

I think it's a problem for all people contemplating spending a lifetime together.

I've been unhappy with someone - and I've been unhappy alone, and unhappy alone wins hands down.

I think people should be able to choose if they want to be with someone - and have the state recognise that. I also think that people should be able to choose not to be together anymore - and have the state recognise that too.
