Good As You

There should be a growing jackpot for the first person who actually supports the one-couples-gay-marriage-damages-society rhetoric with clear and solid reasoning, much like a state lottery that keeps going un-won.

It never ends, does it?

You know, I seriously doubt that any sane same-sex couple who wish to get married would want to have an officiant perform the ceremony who doesn't want to do it. Please. I want a minister or justice who is happy for us when we tie the knot.

Another pet phrase she uses: "Redefine marriage to mean anything it can mean nothing." Utter claptrap. No one has "redefined marriage to mean anything." (First of all, that's a logical contradiction. If something "means anything," then it's inherently undefined, not defined.) We're not redefining marriage, we're clarifying the definition to mean two consenting adults. The inclusion of gender in the equation is inherently sexist.

Frankly, all marriage laws could even be called sexist. If a man has the right to marry a woman, why does a woman not have that exact same right?

I've been to Ocean Grove, NJ, and if you visited you would never know that you were on church owned property if someone didn't tell you or you read it on a sign. It is a very nice town along the Jersey shoreline. But people like Wendy Wrong and all the other Liars for Christ have been characterizing Ocean Grove as some kind of a private church campground.

Ironic how Wendy uses polygamy as an example of "redefining marriage" until it means everything/nothing. I'm pretty sure polygamy is a much older form of marriage than Wendy's "one man, one woman" modern definition.

We've realized as a culture over the decades that women aren't property and that polygamy isn't fair to women or society in general. We've "redifined" marriage from what it meant in say, the Old Testament times.

If "redefinition" is so bad for society, and "tradition" should always be upheld when it comes to marriage, perhaps Wendy should be advocating for polygamy and the idea of women as men's property.

I've always wondered about these church-going Christians who claim that churches will be forced to wed gay and lesbian couples.

I'm only 22, and so it wasn't very long ago that I attended a mainstream Lutheran church. It was understood that not every couple that approached the church with wedding plans would be allowed to marry there. Usually, they had to be members of the church, they had to attend "marriage classes" (whatever those are), interview with the pastor, promise to baptize their children and basically pass a Christian marital fitness test before they could even rent the building in the first place!

It's not uncommon for couples of different religions to be prevented from marrying in one or both of the couple's places of worship because of beliefs that forbid marrying a person of a different faith. This was the situation my aunt and uncle faced, and it's the reason they had to rent a minister to marry them at some country club rather than in a church.

So who are these people who ignorantly claim churches have to marry every couple that approaches them? I mean, have they ever even gone to a church?

Thank you for sharing that.

I don't care about any of this, just wanted to say I've wanted to bang that Wendy Wright for a long time. Lesbians are passé — now sexy republicunts in their forties, that's hot.
