With the Democratz in power, how long will it be before I'm forced into a gay marriage?

Hopefully sooner rather than later.  I have a link that outlines the recent history of the same sex marriage legal battle in California along with a collection of relevant links at the bottom.  Hope it helps!\n\nOh, and the second link is to a same-sex marriage advocacy organization in Cali.  Hope THAT helps too!

Go to the democrats.org and gop.org websites. You'll find the information there. Just rephrase it; it should take about one hour, or two if you're a slow writer like me.

It doesn't really matter now does it. The only hope for this country is if a viable third party candidate runs. The two major parties are totally out of touch with the American public, the constitution and the vision of our founding fathers.\n\n They both have their own agendas,Republicans-big business interests and big business interests(One track minds),Democrats-social programs and big business interests. The heart of America(The middle class) is left out.\n\n A good third party candidate is our only hope.\n\n I will tell the Dems this. If you put ANY candidate out there that supports pro-choice, you will lose. That is a no compromise issue. I know many many people that agreed with Democrats on many issues, as a matter of fact on most issues, but they would not and WILL NEVER compromise on that issue. That is so important to them that they will vote on that one issue only. As much as they may hate the candidate's stand on every other issue, it doesn't matter if he supports them on that issue. They will vote for him. Bank on it.\n\n Also the gay issue drives them crazy. These are not right wing religious crazies either. These are Joe and Sue six pack that doesn't want to see guys walking down the street holding hands and kissing. They don't want their kids to see it either. That's reality people. They are not homophobes. A phobia, by the way, is a fear. They are not afraid of them. They just hold the belief that that way of life is not moral and they don't want their child to see it. Believe it or not the parents have rights too.\n\n So everyone be forewarned that if the Democratic candidate comes out in favor of pro-choice and pro gay marriage they  will lose. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Those are the two issues that cost Dems the last two elections and THINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED. Those are no compromise issues! As much as you rant and rail and tell them that they are homophobes and are not allowing women the right to make decisions about their own bodies, it will not matter. It's not, as many Dems. so arrogantly think, that people don't get it or that they are backward or are religious loons. It's simply that they DISAGREE WITH YOU!\n \n Now don't get me wrong, my personal belief is that Bush is a loon and that Chaney is a truly evil person. I didn't vote for them. But I didn't vote for Kerry either. They were both awful. But people feel VERY strongly about those issues and they will FIGHT VERY HARD to make sure a candidate doesn't win who supports them. That has not changed! So as happy as you are about Bush's current free fall be prepared for a vicious fight.

Good morning, dearheart. Good for you. here's my take on gay marriage. I've been married to the same wonderful lady for the last 26 years. She drives OTR semi for a living and I'm a housewife. We both wear wedding rings and feel as married as the next heterosexual couple but I can get none of her health benefits. How my union is hurting society I can't fathom as our relationship has been monogamous for all of it's 26 years and that same union has lasted longer than many heterosexual marriages. There are couples on the LGBTQ site here that have been together for over 40 years (which is a great thing in its own right) How can their love be hurting anyone? Good luck and Blessings on you.

BetitoDetroit...  wow.  I hope you never have a failed relationship, because then.. all your horrible reasons for opposing gay marriage will be gone.  Just like your partner.

Forever. I think you probably promised something like "til death do us part", right? Marrying just for citizenship is illegal, if I'm not mistaken. As is falsifying a marriage license (it's a government document)

Hopefully and prayerfully, the "reasonable public" will not allow this to happen... But with all the Bush bashing, and low polls, the new voters just might be swayed to follow the crowd...\n\nHow many of the voting public is reasonable anymore? I've never seen such dismay and frustration going on in America as it is now. Many factors are the reason: the war, gas prices, illegal immigration, etc. The blame always goes to the leader of the country and what ever party is in power at the time.\n\nWho would ever think that a Marriage Amendment would be necessary?  The liberals and most Democrats are livid with the fear that this amendment may actually be given to the people to vote whether they want marriage to remain a "one man and one woman" institution. They KNOW if given to a vote... it will be a flat NO to Gay marriages. \n\nIf this amendment doesn't get through this time..and left to the states to decide... Liberal/Activists Judges will continue to usurp the authority of the state... and allow gays to marry. What kind of future does that offer the children of tomorrow?\n\nNothing makes much sense anymore... it's as if most Americans want to throw out all morals and anything that stands for decency.\n\nI truly fear the 2008 election... I just cannot imagine living in the world that we do now with Liberals at the helm....

The following is an interesting little factoid you may interested in:\n\n \nJune 4, 2006 -- More on George W. Bush's "Sanctity of Marriage" gay marriage constitutional ban. \nGeorge W. Bush's marital problems have just taken another turn for the worse. Apparently, Mr. Bush has not only engaged in an extra-marital affair with a member of the opposite sex who is also a senior member of his Cabinet, but also a member of the same sex. WMR received the following  release this morning from Leola McConnell, Democratic candidate for Governor of Nevada (who has been endorsed by WMR). McConnell is a one-time professional dominatrix.\n"President Bush's speech to the nation Monday. If he doesn't say he's a gay American or at the least a bisexual one then he shouldn't be making one at all. And the notion that it would be in regards to writing bigotry into our nation's Constitution is reprehensible. Too bad it isn't me doing the rebuttal because in 1984, I watched him perform (with the enthusiasm of homosexual male who had done this many times before) a homosexual act on another man, namely Victor Ashe. Victor Ashe is the current Ambassador to the nation of Poland who should also come out like former Governor McGreevey of New Jersey and admit to being a gay American. Other homo-erotic acts were also performed by then private citizen George Bush because I performed one of them on him personally. \n\nI am the woman this website (bushssecretlifein84.tripod.com) speaks of that has been posted on the net nearly two years now. None of this would be the business of anyone but President Bush's little ruse to save his failed presidency by using DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act] to divide Americans one from the other has to be exposed as the act of a desperate closeted homosexual man. The only crime in being GLBT is in the hiding. The President needs to come clean with the American people about his own past sexual behavior before he tries to besmirch the humanity of people in search of sincerely committing to the same bonds of matrimony he's afforded. He violated his own vows of monogamy having a homosexual affair with a long time family friend of whom his wife had no knowledge. His hypocrisy seems to know no bounds. \n\nI had planned to run for governor of Nevada without going into any of this but his planned nationally televised address to the nation makes it necessary for me to address his attempt at division in as public a way as he picked to try this Bushification of reality regarding same sex marriages.\n\nSincerely,\nLeola McConnell\nLiberal Democratic candidate for Governor of Nevada\n --------------------------------------\nNow, aint this special!?

I think that it is an unprecedented attempt of the Federal Government to interject itself to an area which it has never been authorized to previously involve itself.  As a Southerner, I am against it.  I do not want marriage administered with all the efficiency of the Social Security Administration.\n\nI am for the preservation of marriage.  Please keep the Feds out of it.  The Federal government's powers have been limited since its inception to regulating interstate commerce, international relations, civil rights, and similar areas where "Balkanization" of the 50 states would impede our country's effectiveness.\n\nIf you are so inclined to "defend marriage" please do so with your local and state government.  People who disagree with you could at least go to another state in accordance with the dictate of their own conscience.\n\nEDIT: To Grandma Susie down there... if any "marriage" or family has failed it is the fault of the members of that family.  To randomly place blame on others for one's own faults is rather silly.\n\nThe Democrats never broke up any of my relationships... despite my most sincere requests to them.

If you are a kid, it's time to go to school and ask for some civics lessons. The democrats are not homogeneous - that is one of the differences. Whereas the Republicans allow no discussion within their party - you have to support everything or you are not a republican - the Democrats are a broad house that allows differences of opinion.\n\nEven so, in both parties you'll find some that support and some that oppose both issues you mentioned. And there is definitely not general support for gay marriage in the Democratic party. In fact, it was President Clinton, a Democrat, who signed into law the Defense of Marriage Act, which forbids the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages. It was also Clinton who approved the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for the military, which forbids gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the armed forces. Under that legislation, several thousand men and women have been fired from the army in the last few years (despite the fact that they had important skills like Arab translation) \n\nThe person who told you that was the difference was incorrect.\n\nRepublicans used to be the party for fiscal management and responsibility, but they stopped that six years ago and have been on a huge spending spree with tax payer's money. In the process, they've created a national debt 50% higher (8 TRILLION dollars) that you as a kid can look forward to paying off for the rest of your life. Under Clinton, the nation debt REDUCED every year - so I guess the Republicans are no longer willing to be fiscally responsible.\n\nGenerally though, the Democrats are better at representing the interests of the majority of Americans (those earning less than $100,000 a year), and the Republicans are better at representing the rich. The Democrats want everyone to have health care, and for poor families to be able to feed their families. These are not priorities for Republicans.

Those were the numbers I saw. So in other words the state of AZ is going to allow same sex marriages.

Not as long as there is a constitution to serve us as a religion.

The first amendment, among other things, protects the individual's freedom to associate with whomever he chooses.  As far as I'm concerned, if two fellas want to free associate, they can do it as much as they like.  But the day you tell me that marrying another man is mandatory, that's the day when I leave the US.  Nobody's gonna force me to get gay married.
