I just read in the Newspaper today and it said that President Bush is going to try to have an amendment made to the constitution to Ban Gay marriage. I guess this is a response to the Massachusetts supreme court.... Although I am not Homosexual I think this is wrong.... They need to keep the religious beliefs out of our government and keep it free for everyone! Something like this has no business in the constitution.

Thats not a bad idea.... however I just got married and to me it symbolizes a commitment to her...... Just living her wouldn't do that. But maybe the word Married can only apply to religious marriage. Just something to binds to people and we get the same thing as marriage would be fine with me. Even if it means just signing a contract....

Even though I am not Homosexual I would some how or another protest.... this is Just wrong.... I mean for a Country with freedom of religion. Certain religions seem to always creep into our government all the time............
They won't allow that judge to have the 10 commandments in his court Room(which he shouldn't) yet they allow other religious things to come in and stay in the government!

Re: Why is it important?
I think what he is say is like this.
What if you had the approval of your Girl but the Government wouldn't allow you to marry her? How would you feel? Would be Upset? Now I realise Alot of people aren't strong willed and will just give up but many won't.... why should they give up? why should a government tell to adults what they can do unless its harming others? ..... If people Just gave up where would this world be?

Re: Why is it important?
As Crashfrog said it seems that you just don't like the Idea of 2 gays. To be perfectly honest Thinking about gay sex Makes me sick enough to vomit.(I am sure they feel the same way toward straight sex) But because I don't like it should I stop someone from doing it? I also don't like artichokes they also make me sick.... should you not be able to eat them if you want or like them? There have been big debates on this board About Homosexuals being Genetic or a choice.(I think its genetic) Either way who is a straight person to tell them they can't love each other enough to get married?

Re: Why is it important?
So I don't allow myself to have close friends who are women because of the obvious danger of being unfaithful to my wife. My wife started out as an aquaintaince, then a friend, then a good friend and then quickly the love of my life. There's only room for one and no competition is allowed in my life now that we are married.
I am married and I have Female friends....... And I don't think about having sex with them....... I think you have a problem if you can't be friends with a female without thinking about sex....
Do I prove your whole theory wrong? Or could it be your wife is very jealous? If thats it she has the problem. No offence really intended sorry if I offend you....
