Well basically, if you vote YES, then you are right, and no one can question you.
If you vote NO, then you are a homophobic bigot....
That about sums it up.
If you're voting no because you don't like homosexuals, what do you think that makes you?

If it's on religious grounds... is that not simply hiding behind your faith in order to deny others equal rights?

I'm shocked you're evading the question.

My point is not mute. It's not even moot.

young homosexuals are not looking for sympathy nor blaming the world.

Seeing you won't answer the question, I'll answer it for you: it would not be a positive experience. It would further alienate and bring mental stress.

Now, I could ask why you think it's appropriate to further alienate young people, but I won't bother.
Waste of time.
Not evasive, you just seem to answer them for me, to suit what you want to hear.

No.
And, no....

I'm not religious, and don't hate anyone.
This is a recording.....

You can legally marry your partner....or a bridge if you really want.....
WOW
I thought there must of been some underlying human right for so much debating, if the argument against is only based on religious beliefs.

So as a non religious person and a heterosexual it does not effect me in anyway.

The only thing that bothers me is the millions of dollars wasted by our government in time and creating a public survey to decide what seams to be a relatively simple issue.

Just to play devils advocate.

But then this raises the Question why would a gay person want to become a part of a religious constitution which is against their beliefs, doesn't a civil union give you the same rights?

Are you referring to me, if so I am certainly not trolling, I'm just trying to understand what's the issue, which is not easy to fully comprehend with some of the extreme opinions in this thread
No no. I think everyone knows who I am referring to. He's the guy who quotes everyone and retorts with a 3 word answer to a paragraph of detail.

Where? Both the old and new testament are reasonably consistent on marriage including this one from proverbs

may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
How many wives did various people in the Old Testament have, how many concubines did Solomon have?
