Add CA in June. That's 40m people.

When you take into account the pestilence that will soon be among you, you might already be at half
This would be nice.
Especially if it happens after my school gets out, so I don't have to listen to half the staff bitching and moaning about it.
Of course it's personal. You're talking about people's lives. And INDY in particular constantly comes in and passes judgment on other people's lives and how close to the his version of the "ideal" they are. Yet he expects everyone else to discuss it at a theoretical level. Very disingenuous.
I love how more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of marriage equality. Now they're more than just aware.
They're Delaware.
I'd love to have a real discussion with him some day to explain how he can marry who he loves, yet I can't... :/ I'm honestly interested in the reasons why.
Which makes no sense since being a parent isn't a pre-requisite for marriage.
It comes down to gender essentialism. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
Homophobia is really sexism. By being "against" SSM you're really trying to reinforce gender roles, it's actually little to do with gay people.
And now Minnesota.
Minn. House approves gay marriage; would be 12th
Before California. Amazing. Next week it will become state #12.
On November 6, 2012, a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex unions, passed by the legislature in 2011, was rejected by 52.6% of voters.
Minnesota became the second state to reject such a ban through popular referendum.
Aren't England/Wales supposed to be voting on it soon? Or do they keep pushing it back?
Yet the bible is a book written by man. And it has been proven to be wrong on many accounts, so I really do not understand how that is an argument.I'd respect Indy more if he just came in and said it was wrong because the bible says it's wrong and that's all there is to it. No definitions. No concern for society. No tradition.
Instead he pretends it's something we can have a debate with him on.
Yea, honesty is something I guess. But I'm not forcing them to watch me make out, as far as I'm aware. I wasn't quite planning to do that in pulic ever, so yea, they can be glad I guess.I also have more respect for the simplistic "it's icky/gross" view because if nothing else, it's painfully honest.
Soooo, when is he going to be advocating to ban divorce again?His reasoning, as I see it, is that same-sex marriage only further separates us from the ideal of parents with set gender roles. Which makes no sense since being a parent isn't a pre-requisite for marriage.

Even tradition is bullshit, wasn't slavery once a 'glorious' tradition way back? or paedophilia in ancient Greece/Rome?
My last sentence is key to my point. I'd be the last person here to defend religion or tradition as reasonable bases for arguments. But if he'd at least admit that's where his position is coming from, we wouldn't waste any time thinking there was a rational debate to be had
It's just too much to wrap your heads around isn't it?
evolution is evil.

Vladislav Tornovoi, 23, was attacked by two men in the city of Volgograd, who mutilated his genitals and raped him with a beer bottle.
In an murder which has sparked outrage across Russia and overseas, the young man's face was smashed with a rock and was then set on fire.
Tornovoi was allegedly killed shortly after coming out as gay to friends during a boozy Victoria Day celebration.
Two men aged 22 and 27-years-old - who were reportedly Tornovoi's friends, are under arrest on suspicion of killing him.
The first image of Tornovoi comes as gay rights activists condemned the Kremlin by claiming the government is an accomplice in his death for stigmatizing sexual minorities.
Laws which ban "homosexual propaganda" are set to come in to force soon under support from the Duma - the Russian parliament.
Campaigner Nikolai Alexeyev told the Moscow Times: "Political figures have provoked anti-gay sentiment by portraying the gay community as a bunch of freaks," Alexeyev said. "They are accomplices in the killing."
Prominent activist Nikolai Bayev also claimed President Vladimir Putin was an "accomplice" in the killing.
Writing on the GayRussia website, Bayev said: ""President Putin, crush the head of Vladislav Tornovoi! Strip him until he's naked. Break his ribs, beat his face and shove a bottle up his anus. Kill him, he's just a gay."
In the wake of Tornovoi's shocking death, an upcoming gay pride march in the capital city Moscow on May, could be dedicated to the young man by organisers.
