I really don't care to be honest. All I was trying to to was a failed witty attempt to point out that the internet is not America. You don't have freedom of speech on the internet, as every forum, social networking site, etc. has it's own regulations.So if i don't believe in what you believe that makes me intolerant?

This is not America. This is an internet forum that people from countries outside of America can post on as well.
Sure you can have your opinion, but don't expect people to be happy with it. What you are doing is hating on a group of people for things they can not control... If you are going to argue for your "freedom of speech" to tell your opinions, than you are also arguing for racists, sexists, and people of other prejudices to give their opinions.
IMO, it's almost an abuse of the freedom of speech. I personally do think that we should keep our prejudices to ourselves. But as long as the prejudices do not reach the government, everything will be okay, I guess.
I don't know about that... I live in one of those areas. I have seen a surprising amount of people that are accepting, but I believe I've just been really lucky in the friends I've made.Ugh, you and me. In Oklahoma's favor though, Oklahoma City and Tulsa are kind of like islands in an oasis so it's not nearly so bad in these cities.

So as you say, let's debate them, then, and then we can agree to disagree.
Why shouldn't gays allowed to be married? Personally I believe that marriage is in itself an arbitrary custom of a particular time and culture, and therefore our conceptions of it should be open to change if it no longer fits the reality of our times.

Wow, that's pretty amazing. Now lets just hope it spreads to the rest of the Midwestern states. To be honest I don't know why gay marriage was ever banned or not permitted in the US. I thought this country was founded on the three principals: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
No, but marriage is the complete whole of happiness. They are happy in their relationship and want to take it a bit farther then what they have. That is taking that person's right and that person's ability to increase their happy soulful lifes together. And it's wrong.
Also to your comment, I do respect your opinion. But we may lay opinions out so others may express theirs. I expressed mine.
Wedding is in October. And I'm going to be a dad. Super excited.
One of the main reasons why, besides the religious viewpoint, people don't want gay marriage is because marriage was originally created as a bond between man & woman. Thats why a lot of definitions on marriage state, blah blah between man and woman. Before homosexuals voiced their opinions on marriage, when ppl talked about it they would go "oh man and wife."Sure you can have your opinion, but don't expect people to be happy with it.

There are lots of ppl out there that support gay marriage but they want the name to be changed.
Yea they'll get pretty pissed. But if gay marriage is legalized, technically we'll be changing the definition of marriage. I wonder how the definition would turn out.Yeah they could change the name, but doing so will mean cause anther uproar. Because if they did that, they're basically saying that gay marriage isn't tolerated, or that it's not as equal as marriage between man and woman.
"the social institution under which two humans establish their decision to live as husband and husband or wife and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies"?
I was going to say something to Ayame, but then decided to abstain, anyway, I think Iowa simply redefined marriage from between a man and a woman to, two people.
Hopefully the rest of the states shall do the same, as well as the rest of the world
It must of been who I've been brought up around, but I don't care for gay marriage as long as they keep it away. I don't care to see two guys kissing, holding hands, ect. It's sick and wrong.
Long live the freedom of choice, everyone should have the right to marry who ever they desire.
Your color is Black. You value power, ambition, and darkness. You love power at any cost, and are a corrupting influence on those around you. At your best, you are resourceful and unashamed. At your worst, you are parasitic and amoral. Your symbol is a skull. Your enemies are white and green
So should heterosexuals keep in their houses?
