That is absolute rubbish. Yes this world DOES define words. Remember "gay"? Used to mean happy...not it means a homosexual by MOST people today. Ever year the word f@g? Used to refer to matches or logs for fire but now it refers to gays...come on, you aren't that naive to believe what you just told me about defining words? Cultures change and in the changing there often HAS to be a redefinition of words. Marriage refers to a MAN and a WOMAN but now it refers also to two men.

Again…nobody is willing to talk word one about unholy straight marriages where two divorcees are married who had divorced for reasons other than adultery. Those “marriages” are still eternally “adultery”. I know some are soft on it saying, “Well now…God forgives.” Yes, God forgives…but they will still answer for adultery and the Church was NEVER granted permission to recognize such adulterous relationships.

OMG...you did it again. Talk about red herrings. We HAVE talked a LOT about divorce and remarriage. Where were you? We CAN talk about it too. This is totally insane of you. The topic HERE is gay marriages. But start another topic and we will do it. We will be there.

They also were not allowed to marry whoever they wanted…especially if that person was white.

Red Herring

The issue is does Government have the right to tell two private citizens of legal age they cannot marry?

Nope. Because EVERYONE already has the right to enter into a Marriage contract. Unless you redefine what Marriage is which it seems that is what you want to do along with the gay agenda. Gays already have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex like everyone else does.

Bro…marriage is a private contract…the state shouldn’t have a single say in it. The state doesn’t own marriage. Although that’s what we’ve been taught to believe.

Then please tell me what difference it makes to ANYONE if we pass a law that says no gay marriage. They can go down to their gay priest right now and "get married" and enter into a private contract. You see the problem you fail to realize is that these marriages are NOT private. They are public and on record with the state.
