What the hell are you talking about? What points? You made no point. You replied to a post of mine and I replied in kind.
This:
Gay people are not being denied any rights that are afforded to everyone else, they are asking for the defination of marriage to be expanded to include same sex couples.
Men and women are different, a difference that is reconized by society, by courts and by the law. These differences define what type of relationships we are capable of having. A relationship between a man and a woman can produce kids, where is a relationship between man & man can not. The two realtionships are fundementally different and don't have the same impact on society, because of this marriage has been exclusivly defined between a man & a woman.
You had it quoted in an earlier post that orginally spawned this current discussion.
So, you ask me several posts later?
Ok, I'll bite:
Society <> lawMen and women are different, a difference that is reconized [sic] by society, by courts and by the law. These differences define what type of relationships we are capable of having
Show me the laws that mandate man/woman relationships. What you're saying is that homosexuality is illegal. It is not.
Same-sex marriages can also produce children, albeit, not directly. They can also adopt children that are wishing and hoping each day to be adopted. Even the American Association of Pediatrics supports same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex couples.A relationship between a man and a woman can produce kids, where is [sic] a relationship between man & man can not [sic].
What impacts would you wish to foist upon same-sex marriages? Love? Covered. Commitment? Covered. Pro-creation? Covered, via adoption and/or surrogate mother or other options.The two realtionships [sic] are fundementally [sic] different and don't have the same impact on society. Because of this, marriage has been exclusivly [sic] defined between a man & a woman
