Posted by DevilC Just because we are all open minded and cool does not mean everyone else is, nor has to be. People resist because it's new. New and unheard of. Gay marriage is a new idea. A very new idea. It is not a "mainstream" thing nor is there any legal, cultural, or institutional foundation for it. |
Posted by DevilC The govenment should be in the business of CONTRACTS, not marriage. If you, me Kubla, and Sam want to form a contract for a 4-way marriage? The Government and its courts should make sure we stick to our word. Contracts. As long as humans have been alive, gays have not married. It's a newer idea and social construct than the cell phone. New isn't bad, it's just different. It's not fair to scorn people for not embracing a radically new idea. |

Posted by splumer Marriage is a legal contract. And many Native American tribes recognized same-sex couplings, and there is evidence that they were recognized in pre-historic Britain as well. |
