Judge: Iowa gay marriage ban unconstitutional
Quote:
All the same arguments against gay marriage were used against bi-racial marriage in the fifties. Did it destroy marriage, lead to bestiality, erode families or anything else they said it would? /all about equal rights |

Indeed, while gay may not be our way, it's their perrogitive, not ours.

while I'm for it, I don't think the racial angle/comparison even applies due to gender differences.
for me it's simple because of this one "fact": i think it's pretty much indisputible that being gay is not a choice. therefore someone should not be penalized for a choice they did not make and not get equal treatment. playing devils advocate, it's not even wrong to say the gay population is generally more sexually active and provacative...there is worthwhile concern that some of the relationships may not be on solid footing, but looking at the us divorce rate of near 50% i wonder if it really matters. but yeah, anyone who gets their undies in a bunch over this should grow up. it's going to be legal everywhere very soon anyways. no sense in fighting a loosing battle. times change.

I would love to see the appeal brief for this. Let us see their arguments against fair and equal treatment.

I read up to the point he said one half of the population is below normal intelligence, by definition. If he can't even differentiate between normal and median, then there's probably a problem. Maybe he's just a master of irony.

Sadly as much as some would consider him stupid, he's for the most part right on track. The Army uses NCOs to guide their soldiers, but becoming an NCO only requires time and a little knowledge, allowing just about ANYONE to become one.
Back to the argument, theres no reason to keep two people of the same sex out of marriage, except for bible reasons. Which we all know, the bible was created by the devil to confuse people who pray to black baby female jesus. |

Any reason? Or just your dislike for freedom in the land of the free.

As an Iowan I don't like the idea.
I want it to be legal in all fifty states or not at all. I mean it's not like we have a ton of homosexuals in my state. I'm not against homosexuals in the slightest but I hate when we get the spotlight for being the fucking gay marriage state. |

Yes, take all the power from the states and give it to the federal government!
(Sarcasm, for the retards.)
