Let's not mince words. We all know the big issue opponents to all this have - gay sex. Particularly male gay sex.

Ironically, the types described above have no trouble with the hetrosexual equivalent of the aforementioned, but that just further makes my case for the hypocrisy of the opposition to all things homosexual.

The only place I don't support gay marriage is via my faith and where I worship.  If the state wants to pass a secular law allowing homosexuals to wed then so be it and to each his own.  I don't have a problem with that.  I DO have a problem if the state forces my church to allow it.

This law does not harm me.  I am firm in my faith.

...nuff said.

Amen Brother! Do what you want but don't make it my problem. :clap:

QUOTE
lit·er·al/ˈlɪtərəl/ Show Spelled [lit-er-uhl] Show IPA
adjective
1. in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict meaning of the word or words; not figurative or metaphorical: the literal meaning of a word.  
2. following the words of the original very closely and exactly: a literal translation of Goethe.  
3. true to fact; not exaggerated; actual or factual: a literal description of conditions.  
4. being actually such, without exaggeration or inaccuracy: the literal extermination of a city.  
5. (of persons) tending to construe words in the strict sense or in an unimaginative way; matter-of-fact; prosaic.


A dictionary definition is a literal interpretation of a word no matter if it's the first definition listed or the last.

Some days.  :blush:


fig·ur·a·tive [fig-yer-uh-tiv]

adjective
1.
of the nature of or involving a figure of speech, especially a metaphor; metaphorical and not literal: The word “head” has several figurative senses, as in “She's the head of the company.” Synonyms: metaphorical, not literal, symbolic.

2.
metaphorically so called: His remark was a figurative boomerang.

3.
abounding in or fond of figures of speech: Elizabethan poetry is highly figurative. Synonyms: ornate, ornamental, flowery, elaborate, florid, grandiloquent.

4.
representing by means of a figure or likeness, as in drawing or sculpture.

5.
representing by a figure or emblem; emblematic.

So then, figurative is a literal word that means not literal?  Maybe this a rhetorical question?  :D

The anus your talking about was not designed for sex. Can easily rupture and bleed which increases disease issues, & increases their likelyhood of some cancers. Surely why gay men don't live much beyond 60's.

I'm really shocked and stunned by these ignorant and highly prejudiced responses. It's no wonder few citizens decide to comment here. I know it's hard. I know it's hard to except the fact that a majority of people refuse to hate people because they are gay, but you'll get over it.

Prejudice, homophobe, fear, ignorant,  hate; buzz words used by radical activists to attempt to end rational discussion. No matter how they try to "force" acceptance upon those opposed; gay marriage will not elevate to the level of sanctity as heterosexual marriage. You cannot "force" acceptance which is exactly what they're trying to do by this legislating the bedroom.

Really? You think the phrase "All men are created equal" in The Declaration of Independence is figurative and not meant to be taken literally? :dunce:

Isn't the answer obvious, given that women couldn't vote back when that was penned, and some people had slaves?
