| Great, now you're trying to change the traditional definition of country clubs! Have you no shame? Have fun with your bag of irons and putters. In two years you'll regret pushing for this for some unknown reason. |

You have been asked what those negative changes are. You refuse to answer. Why? Please show you have the balls to answer the question. |
There are no negative points to gay marriage. Just fear and a lack of understanding on the behalf of the detractors.
It kind of makes me wonder about the stability and truth of the marriages that these detractors have. I mean, marriage is a commitment between two people to love, honor, and cherish each other, make a life together, forsaking all others. So what does it mean to the upholders of the sanctity if they can't see that this takes people out of the picture that would otherwise run amok being all gay and whatnot. The fact that two same sex people get married should make these people happy. Two less gays out there trying to convert anyone else.
Don't you feel that gays have the right to be pissed off at their spouse rather than just a dear friend? How about being entitled to legal entanglements?
The old saw about how gays would destroy the "Sanctity of marriage." was debunked. The national divorce rate is more than %50, so that whole sanctity thing is gone. Or......even if you buy the sanctity part, straight people are then just failures at marriage.
I posted for the first time in the old thread in January of '07. I am so glad to see us celebrating this decision! The one thing I have continually asked, as have many others *countless* times is for *ONE* example, reason, or iota of proof to the claim that someone's gay marriage affects them, their marriage, or their family in *any* manner. For the eight years I've been following it, not ONE reason has been given. Well, except the old "God says it ain't right" thing, but then there's that nasty little iota of proof thing rearing its ugly head again.
Yay, SCOTUS! Well done!

Now, if we could only fix the problem that, in 28 states, gay people still have no protection from job or housing discrimination. I thought that would have been fixed before we got gay marriage, but apparently not.

Well, given that this decision was based (at least in part) on the 14th Amendment, it ought to apply to any other situation where sexual orientation determines different treatment under the law. |

To quote the great Princess Bride, "A technicality that will shortly be remedied." Any Federal Court presented with a discrimination issue will point the marriage ruling, and that'll be the end of it. |

Yep. I fully support gender and age inequality on the golf course. In effect, it's an attempt to "equalize" play, there's that... :-) |

Or just quality of play: One of my favorite golf jokes;
A man was addressing the ball when an announcement came over the loud-speaker: "Will the gentleman on hole number one please not hit from the Ladies' tee box."
The man backs away, a little distracted, then approaches his ball again. As he does, the same announcement comes over the loud-speaker: "Will the gentleman on hole number one please not hit from the Ladies' tee box."
The man is getting irritated now, and after backing away from his shot, approaches his ball one more time. This time the announcement came: "We really need the gentleman on hole number one to move off of the Ladies' tee box!"
To which the man turns around and yells: "And I really need the announcer to shut up and let me play my second shot!" |

So the fact that someone was called out for discrimination is an example of how someone is affected by gay marriage???? I *so* stand corrected! LOL!

| No, no... we're on to golf, you see? A sport where we discriminate by gender, age, AND handicap! But we really don't care at all if you're gay or straight. Well, we prefer you hit straight down the middle so as not to delay the game looking for lost balls, but I'll leave it at that. |

Not just discrimination, but in both cases discrimination based upon religious belief (which you specifically excluded for lacking an iota of proof). Also in both cases the people still have freedom to believe whatever they want in the privacy of their homes or churches. They just can't have their hatred officially sanctioned with government or professional support. Ironically, the same principle allowed conservative fundamentalism to flourish in the first place since Protestants, Catholics and others were likewise protected from discrimination by others after a long period of exclusion. |

It seems to me that the only answers the religious right (or ANY detractors of same-sex marriage) have is that they can no longer feel free to hate and discriminate. Always with this bastardization of the term 'religious freedom'. You people keep using this term. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Here's what it means: the freedom to practice your religion of choice, or no religion at all, without persecution from or by the government or OTHER RELIGIONS.
You are NOT being persecuted against when you are told to stop discriminating. You are being the persecutor. YOU are the one withholding freedom. You are not the victim. |

I do find it amusing and deeply ironic that after hearing about how horrible 'special rights' are when it comes to the gays, for decades, now that we've won equal marriage rights the religious conservatives are clamoring for literal exceptions encoded into law. "I don't have to do my job, because faith!" "I don't have to obey the law everyone else does, because faith!"
What is up with that? |

Is this true? |
