Thread Name: BS: MA Sup Court: Gay Marriage Ban Stricken
Subject: RE: BS: MA Sup Court: Gay Marriage Ban Stricken
I have been married 23 years + and I have mixed feelings about Gay Marriage. Do we then have to suffer endless Gay divorces as well? What is the reason for marriage after all? Why do we have it and why would Gay folks want to be wed? If its for sharing property there are other contracts for that. If its to raise children maybe it would work out for the best I don't know. It is all rather strange. It seems at times marriage is now just a trophy sought by some so that society has to except Homosexuals as equals in our culture. That pisses me off really bad as it is sacred to me. I already feel Gay people are my equals and deserving of all rights I enjoy. I have a gay cousin and a Gay brother in law and I love them very much. I don't think gays should suffer in a democratic civilization. If someone really wants to be pledged to another that is fine but not to make a statement. George Bush is however a Horses A**! PEACE
