This also will apparently have effects on straight non-married domestic partners and widows, and cases of domestic violence.


Terrible how people in this country keep wanting to take society backwards.

Fixed that for you.

There was an article that indicated due to the nature of the advertising the religious groups did, many people who voted (according to exit poles) thought the amendment was to stop the government from forcing churches to allow gay marriage.

An uninformed voter is a dumb voter. Hooray!

Has nothing to do with taking society backwards. Ever see what the CDC has reported about the homosexual life-style? It's not a progress of, or a holding back of anything. The lifestyle itself is very detrimental. It's not the people who are bad, it's the lifestyle. You cannot argue with science in this area, facts are facts.

This report is only that of HIV. You should see the reports that include other STD's in the Homosexual community, it will blow your mind.

You think perhaps that a lot of the problems in the homosexual community have more to do with being a society stuck in the middle of a larger society that treat them like subhumans and less to do with some inherent flaw in their lifestyle?

And how in the fuck is banning gay marriage going to reduce the number of STDs homosexual spread? if anything it makes the whole thing worse.

I blame abstienance only education. Since you can't get pregnant clearly the GOP is keeping homosexual men and women from knowing about STDs so they can take the steps needed to protect themselves.

And this is a good reason to treat homosexuals like second-class citizens why?

Welcome to the new Jim Crow

Well this is the way our system is set up, states have the right to choose on these matters, don't like it? Move to a state that supports your life style.

[Wells]

No you guys don't get it. To stop the spread of STDs in the homosexual community we need to ban a social practice that has monogamy as one of its core elements.

Wait no that doesn't make sense at all.

Funny I don't think civil rights are up to the majority's vote. But that's just me.

I think it's wrong to treat them like 2nd class citizens. I have friends that are gay, but again, it's the lifestyle. Can you agree with a lifestyle that is this detrimental? It's an honest question but if you can agree to allow someone to live in a way where STD's and death are a result, you can't really care about them. I know people can choose the lifestyle they want, but it's sad when so much death is involved.

What does this have to do with gay marriage?

[Badpaladin]

So why should people be forced to move if they want to marry each other? It's not exactly a simple thing.

Listen man, if those women wanted to vote they should have just moved to a state that allowed that.

Hey maybe we can keep those uppity minorities in their place by that logic right? Who needs civil rights if your likelihood of incarceration is higher than the "norm"?

<Sarcasm Ended>

Seriously what does any of that have to do with monogamous marriage by homosexuals?

[obdigore]

If Blacks didn't want to be slaves they should have just moved North!

Hooray for states rights!

The non-vaginal sex? What lifestyle?

Also, we shouldn't allow fat people to marry, their lifestyle is unhealthy!

Such is the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.

Your biased interpretation and selective reading of facts are not science. Sexual orientation is not a lifestyle, whereas entering into a committed marriage is. How is banning same-sex marriage supposed to be good for preventing HIV? And even if you take offense at this imaginary "homosexual lifestyle" of yours, how is banning same-sex marriage going to change anything? You do understand how sexually transmitted diseases work, right?

Then why are you against marriage, seeing as being in a monogamous relationship is a lifestyle change that minimises the risk of STDs? Your convoluted, hypocrticial and self-contradictory logic is sickening.

Also, why is it that your kind of people always like to insist that you "have friends who belong to <insert minority you're about to oppress>"?

And you are one the factors listed:

Social discrimination and cultural issues: For some MSM, social and economic factors, including homophobia, stigma, and lack of access to health care may increase risk behaviors or be a barrier to receiving HIV prevention services.

Since when is the Center for Disease Control not have anything to do with Science? They said it, not me. It's sad when people refuse to see truth and facts. By allowing same -sex marriages you are allowing and promoting a detrimental lifestyle.

Please tell me how banning gay marriage stops STDs. If you can't then stop bringing it up because its massively fucking irrelevant.
