If immigration, traffic jams and taxes could be blamed on Gays, could we expect quick action to ban them?

But, the voters pamphlet I got from the RNC said that all those things ARE caused by gays. Dandruff too.

The Catholic Bishops are not jumping on the gay bandwagon.  The guidelines state that the gay parishoners cannot make known their sexual orientation or practice any kind of gay relationship.  \n\nThis would have happened if the Republicans remained in control.  These things will happen again and again until future generations ask "Why did your generation have such a problem with gay relationships".

They could get asylum in sweden as there are many refugees here who come from Irak, Lebanon,Afghanistan etc; just like everything it envolves a process.The fact of a person being gay doesn´t affect under any circumstances the decisition taken by the Emigration department.

No.  If they were going to do the right thing, they would allow law enforcement to enforce the laws already on the books.  This is an election year, so the issue once again comes up.

That is an interesting question.  If marriage had never been banned between gay couples, I beleive we would see more households raising healthy children, paying taxes as afforded to them under that right, spousal health benefits (lowering the number of uninsured citizens), more "out" activity in our neighborhoods.  And by out activity, I am NOT referring to anything of a sexual nature.  Gays without children have a great deal more disposable income, therefore they could bost their local economy.\n\nWouldn't it be interesting to ban marriage for straight people, letting only gay people get married?  Imagine the ruckus that would cause!

Canada may have passed that law when they had Liberal leadership. I have heard that a new law is already in the works by the Conservatives to change that law.\n\nBut back to the US\n\nWe cannot have an amendment to the Constitution legalizing the marriage of homosexuals. It goes against the Bible!!!\nEver heard of Saddam and Gomorrah???

Sure!  About 10% of the population is gay and the services are no different in that respect.\n\nDon't think for an instant that I'm some wild-eyed liberal whack job either.  I served for over 21 years and made due note of the excellent service of quite a number of gays -- whose identity will remain forever confidential for obvious reasons!

No, Gays should be executed for being who they are no matter who thinks it's a sin.  The real shame is that there are plenty of Christians here who would love to re-institute the same kinds of laws here in the USA.

I'm pro but it's interesting to see that some gay are driven towards a "bourgeois" lifestyle when themselves say they are opposed to conventions.\nWHat we have in France with the PACS (the alliance between two people) is a good option because Pacs'ed people, whether they are gay or heterosexuals can share their lives, their taxes, have children and inherit the goods of the other person.

easiest is the lack of policies.  You cannot fire some one or kick them out of school for their race, religion, creed, national orgin etc but you can kick them out for being gay.\n-Coca cola had a policy, i don't know if they still do, that they would not hire or retain any LGBT employee.\n\nAnother one are the large prevence of sodomy laws.\nDon't misunderstand Sodomy covers more than just rear end penetration, it also covers oral. Very few straight people are brought up on these charges even though most americans commit sodomy in one form or another.- one case went to the supreme court a few years ago.\n\nSchool Policies that don't allow couples of the same gender to attend dances or functions.\n\nLaws against Gay marriages,  I have know many many many gay relationships that have last far longer that most straight ones, most states have them and they are trying to put up a national ban.\n\nLaws against life partners being eligible as heirs of their partners estate. Legally in some states estranged families can come up and take the inheiritance.\n\nDon't ask don't tell.. teaches kids to be ashamed of who they are.\n\npostively- crimes targeting homosexuals are now rated as hate crimes\n\nalot of the postive movements over the last decade have been revoked since the republican domininace in most state and federal government.

Based purely on legal terms of course the government can allow what ever they want,  and of course they could write limitations on it now, but of course over time, that limit would and could be challenged, just as gays are challenging the man/women standard now.\n\nI would not even be as upset, if the issue went to voters, or was even passed by the state law makers,  it is when the few places it is being ruled on and forced by one man ( a judge)\n\nAnd of course the government can make legal man/boy ( which already has a lobby group)  or poligimy ( and I don't know why there is not a lobby for that)  And yes siblings ( even studies of late showing there is not as much birth defect concern as once thought ( and why are we even studying this)

Only if they can prove they're liberal...  or Communist...  or Marxist...  or are looking for free handouts...  or criminals...  or a terrorist.  Any hard working, well educated individuals who come to this country looking for lower taxes and limited government intervention in their daily lives will be immediately deported.\n\nGo figure.

No, especially considering the fact that would make the average American a hypocrite.\n\nWhoops, already happened.

I think so now with Bush and Harper signing a treaty to intergrate the criminal databases of both countries. Probadly will be banned from Canada, and be banned from driving in Michigan for 90 days I bet.

As the first answer said  the law is in the works to legalize marriage for gays.\n\nTo answer rest of question, if the law is passed, the same benefits would apply as they do for straights.  This includes immigration policy towards spouses of citizens.

I don't approve of anythign for gays, they should be banished from this country.\n\n---\n\nTo all of those who are opposed to my viewpoint...if all gays were exiled to an island how long would that culture last?  They certainly would be unable to procreate...they would die out in 50-60 years tops...

Since the federal government looks at marriage as a contract and federal law states that all states must recognize the contracts that were signed in other states then if gay marriage is recognized in one state it must also be recognizes in all states.\n\nIt must be removed from the federal tax code to be decided by the states whether it can be banned.
