<font color="#0000FF" size="4">Gay marriages have been legal here for a few years now. My life didn't change in any way once it was legalized. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif" alt="image"> My next door neighbours are gay but that would only bother me if they made outin their front yard. For years my son thought they were brothers because they live together. He now knows they're gay (but only understands the word tomean that two men or two women live together). I don't see anything wrong with being gay or lesbian, to each their own, but to legally marry? I thinkthat's going a bit far. Men aren't supposed to marry men and women aren't supposed to marry women but that's just my opinion.<br><br><br>~Karen</font>

<blockquote> Yeah, who the hell cares what other people do??

I care!! We have laws!!<br><br>One should be No Fornicating with the same sex.<br>another should be No kissing with the same sex.<br><br><blockquote> I just don't understand how this will negatively impact anyone's lives.</blockquote>It already has, people think it's OK and that has negatively impacted not only people's lives but the fibers of our social and moral wayof living.<br><br> It does get my blood boiling that our society has begun to think that it's Ok for people to be gay. It's not!!<br><br><blockquote> Such unnecessary fears consume way too much energy which could be used for something more productive in life.</blockquote>I don't let or think it's unnecessary or a fear, like I said it's just wrong moraly and socialy.<br><br> When I have to see it on the front page of the paper or everytime I turn on the news it's I think about it and they show people kissing that should not beand someones kids could see that too!!<br><br> Why is it ok? Why do some people think it is not ok?<br><br>If it's ok why did they have to pass some bill or law to let all these gay people get married? If it was so Ok they should have been able to do it all thetime!<br><br>It's not ok, but I want to here what other people have to say!!

The original, unamended Constitution of the United States gave the right to voteonly to white, male landowners. <br><br>It was later amended to allow all white males the right to vote (regardless of landownership) but still considered blacks 3/5 of a person and women virtuallynon-existent. <br><br>It took a civil war for blacks to gain freedom and the right to vote. <br><br>It then took another 60 years after the civil war ended for women to get the right to vote. <br><br>Right up until the 1970's many states still banned blacks and whites from marrying. I love this country and I try not to criticise it, but we have a verysorry record of intolerance to many classes of people throughout our history.<br><br>Bob Jordan

Repainted pink Rolls Royces upset me far more than homosexuals, their interests, or their right to wed. And I don't even care for the casting. The worldhas many variances in culture; this is just one more. I keep myself out of others' personal business, and this is really none of mine, especially when youconsider that homosexuals don't hold hands, make out or get naked in public any more than heteros do. While earning my undergrad, I had a gay roommate inthe dorms (Lou); a decent chap, plucked his eyebrows, smelled of Nair from across the room and had a boyfriend; no big deal. I own my house, old but very nice,and it sits beside that of two gay men, both polite gents and their sexuality has as much influence on the mood or tone of the neighborhood as mine does; goodfor them, and, really, I could give a damn.

I certainly respect those who have differing views...that's what makes America a great country...but I'm curious now...let's say we have fellowmember in RLOL who is gay and comes out and says so and you were good friends with that person up until now.....So does that mean all of you who oppose thelifestyle stop being their friends and stop dealing in redlines with that person? Or won't invite them to one of RLOL's get togethers? Or try to havethem banned on moral grounds? Or would you still be able to accept them as friends despite your objections to their lifestyle? Have at it!<br><br>Ricky Yo<br><br>P.S my personal stance...not on any moral grounds...just traditional thought...marriage should be between a man a woman..but I certainly can accept andtolerate the right for same sex couples to be legally recognized.<br><br>

Just remember folks. Legalizing gay marraiges comes with a lot of baggage. Gay couples will be able to adopt children and raise them with their valuesystem.They will have equal access to every social privelege and right that a heterosexual couple enjoys under U.S law. For the record I am against it becauseit is immoral. I view it in exactly the same light as a man who is cheating on his wife. I could be this mans best friend. Its still wrong to cheat on yourwife.I hope I would have the courage to tell him so. Hey Dave.Heres one for you. Would you have a problem with a man having a sexual relationship with a nineyear old girl? Assuming he was very discreet about it and kept to himself without bothering you. Or how about if your neighbor had a sexual relationship withhis German Sheppard dog? No problem as far as your concerned?? There is no such thing as "not bothering anyone else" There is always a ripple effect.<br>

There is a key term that hasn't been brought up at all: "Consenting adults." Dogs? Not adults. Children? Not adults. Leftover fries fromIn-N-Out? Not adults (though smarter than some dogs).
