dberdinka Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 There's a significant societal difference between equivalent benefits and actual marriage. Plenty of people could support the first but not the second. Marriage would fail here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Amongst morons, yes. Practically speaking, of course, there is absolutely no difference. Pro civil rights proponents in Washington were smart enough to sidestep that none-substantive issue on their way to victory.

Your original post compared what happened in Washington ("Everything but Marriage") and Maine ("Full on fucking Marriage") as if they had some equivalency. Are you really claiming that gays now have full equality in Washington? And actually feel that way? No way! Sometime in the near future in this state there will either be a referendum for marriage or one to repeal legislatively/judically enacted gay marrige. I'll put my money on that failing here just like in Maine. Asshole  And Bug.

billcoe Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Â Well, I for one am happy that Tvrash is finally able to legally take it up the a**, suck c*ck, and play with his little gerbil friends: as it seems to make him so happy.

Unless you are addicted to spray.  I am sure that future societies will look back at our stance on Gay Marriage the same way we look back at slavery and womens rights. Well, most of us. Anyway, Ripping Tvash for his heathenistic view on society is probably entertaining to him. My motivation was to entertain one and all. It is, however, very sad that Christian religions cannot dig their way out of legalistic dogma and extend some of that Eternal Love to their Gay brothers and sisters. As a Christian, I find this wide spread, "We know a sinner when we see one", double standard absolutely embarassing. It is ironic that those who adhere to it are committing the "sin" of being judgemental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Darin, I think Bug was calling Tvash a hell bound heathen, a tag I'll wager he relishes, not you. As for Tvash, he's mistaking you for a sprayer, a mistake he's made with others. I'd suggest you not take it personally. Â Me, I think there isn't much functional difference between the two (legal rights vs. marriage) but there's a huge emotional load attached to the label. A lot of people attach a religious significance to the term "marriage" and its simply not a rational issue that will yield to discussion. Words and labels sometimes have incredible power, and that's why our referendum passed and Maine's failed. Â If I were king, I'd abolish all legal standing for "marriage" and put all the rights and responsibilities under "civil union." I think marriage could be just fine as a non-binding religious ceremony, and churches could feel free to discriminate against anyone they want, but you don't get any changes to your legal status until you go through a civil union. Â I'd kind of like a bumper sticker that says, "If you let fags get married, next thing you know niggers will be able to marry white people" but sound bite sarcasm is a risky business.

Pete_H Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 There are a lot of differences. For one other states don't have to recognize civil unions but they do have to recognize marriage, due to the Full Faith and Credit Clause. Similarly, the U.S. won't nationalize a foreign citizen for entering into a civil union with a U.S. citizen the way they would if they were married. There's probably other differences too.
