I would love to see it become legal again.  

 We are trying very hard to get the same rights straights have, many straight men and women dont even value marriage anymore.


You have the same rights you ignorant sack of shit.



Not to marriage though.

Why not. According to some denominations of Christianity, divorce is one of the worst sins and is actually not allowed in some sects. If we are legislating by the bible, as made so apparent by the passing of proposition 8, the next step should be a ban in divorce.

YPO, it's pointless to discuss it with him. He doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to. It just adds fuel to the fire, and never gets resolved.

Abs, please don't take offense, I meant none. You have your opinions, and they're strong ones, and that's fine. I was just saying that we've been through this before, and it will never get resolved.

Sure would!
 

 You answer as if there are no possible domino effects. 50% divorce rate; those couples suddenly forced to stay married would lead to even more unfaithfulness, more unhappiness, more substance abuse, more psychological needs, more intoxicated driving, more abuse, more murders, etc. To imprison a person through the take away of rights is not always a good thing, even if it is following a religion.


 
Heaven forbid it lead to people taking more time to make sound, responsible decisions when it comes to getting married.


That would be a positive result as well, good point. However, I'd say the majority of marriages begin without possible divorce intentions, as judgment is often clouded by the endorphins released by love.

Marriage should just not have any legal standing at all.

I was simply asking you to explain why you think legalizing it in CA was unconstitutional and so far you haven't come up with anything.

It is unconstitutional because the Law did not recognize the gay marriage to begin with, so the supreme court just legalized it with out the vote or asking people whether they agreed to it or not. The people of California already rejected once but the liberal judge inserted it again without the acceptance of its citizens. The judge suppose to interpret the law not making one out of his/her pocket. Since we live in a democratic country and democracy means do things as people want or satisfied with at least what the majority of the citizens want.

Ohhh, sort of like how the majority of citizens in Germany wanted those filthy Jews rounded up and experimented on or killed in the thirties and forties?

Full of FAIL.

Not exactly.  Remember that regime at that time was not a democratic country rather something else, and the citizens of that country were afraid of the leader since he was so powerful and all.

Well I think it is the people who should decide and not some judege.  No one can say it is unconstitutional because it is now part of the constitution.  This is an issue I am fighting with personally myself, cause I think I'm Bi, but irregardless I think a marriage should be one man, one woman.  I agree with what the people of California did, but I am very surprised that California actually did it.  Come on it's the land of liberal thinking.

The majority of the citizens still agreed with the actions. Without the citizens' and followers support, Hitler would have had no power.

Still full of fail.
