burnsspivey Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 [quote name='cooltuba' date='Dec 28 2004, 04:30 PM'] Sorry. I was referring to James. I didn't want to quote his post for such a short reply. My point was that I don't know if gay couples should get equal rights, but a civil union is completely different from marriage and supporting it is not (to me) nessesarily wrong. *edit* Also, the part of his post I was referring to was the part where it says Bush adopted Kerry's policy on the matter, which is wrong. Kerry supported gay marriage. [/quote] I don't know whose propaganda you've been reading, but Kerry most definitely did [b]not[/b] support gay marriage. I fear for the sanity of whoever wrote that article.
Guest Eremite Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 Burns, Why did you pull this 2 month old thread up?
Norseman82 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 I remember when Vermont instituted civil unions and it was controversial. I'm wondering if the push for gay marriage was a ploy to make civil unions acceptable. Either way - gay marriage or civil unions - they're both morally wrong.
Norseman82 Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 [quote name='rufiokicks' date='Jan 11 2005, 07:41 PM'] If my parents were divorced, my dad could get a civil union with say, my aunt or uncle, in case everything falls through. [/quote] But your dad would not be entering into a sexual union with your aunt or uncle, though, correct?

[/quote] What discussions are considered closed after two months? Actually, I was searching for another thread and this one popped up. I felt the desire to respond. Why are you asking questions like this instead of contributing to the discussion?
burnsspivey Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 [quote name='rufiokicks' date='Jan 11 2005, 07:41 PM'] Don't you get a civil union when you get married though? [/quote] No, that's a civil marriage. A civil union is only allowed for homosexuals in Vermont. [quote]It's just legal rights. It's not even limited to homosexual couples. If my parents were divorced, my dad could get a civil union with say, my aunt or uncle, in case everything falls through. Marriage shouldn't be controlled by the government, but civil union is a totally different matter.[/quote] It is limited to homosexual couples. And you dad can't marry your aunt or get a civil union with your uncle (unless they're your mother's siblings). How that plays into this discussion is beyond me, though.

The push for marriage was exactly that. People want to get married (though [i]why[/i] is beyond me) so they fight for marriage equality. They aren't asking you to approve morally, either.

Previously, people (especially conservatives) were aghast at civil union. Now, many conservatives are opposing homosexual marriage and trying to cover themselves by saying "let them have civil unions".
