This made me . No matter what the real answer is, I'll always have this official, decree-looking statement.

So anyway, laws and such...

Don't get me started on the war between the states (which was anything but civil- look up General Sherman), the north was as much at fault for that as we were.
Witch burning started long before the country was established.

Basic? Is that what they call it in the South. Up here we call them AP classes.

Now what about gay divorce?

http://www.nypost.com/seven/02262008...tory_99275.htm
February 26, 2008 -- There's no such thing as gay marriage in New York - but a Manhattan judge says that doesn't mean there can't be gay divorce.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/art...ouple_divorce/
In a split decision, Rhode Island's top court said yesterday that it will not allow a lesbian couple who married in Massachusetts to get a divorce in the Ocean State

Oh lord, is that going to be the new method of "control?" Only 5 states will allow marriage but all 50 will allow divorces? That would make top of the "that's-so-not-funny-but-it-is" list.

Hmmm. So only the AP students are taught basic history in Connecticut? I can see now why our schools are filling up with kids whose parents moved here to get them out of your schools.

I'm going to throw my Canadian perspective into this Gay or straight any person who is truly "free" should have the personal right to marry, love and support whomever they want. Perhaps this is because the big picture is to have a unified world not a world based on race, sexual orientation or religion. The term "married" does not mean that you have to be catholic. It means that you love and support that person to the best of your ability. To refuse this from any human suggests ignorance. Who is to say who can do what and who can't. Whether I agree or disagree with this issue gives me no right to refuse human rights from a person; love. I would rather see two very happy gay people married together then two unhappy straight people married (not that all straight marriages don't work!). therefore why wouldn't there be gay divorce? There is straight divorce. <- there's my opinion

What if I want to marry, love and support two women at the same time, and they want to marry, love and support me and each other?

Serious question. If this shouldn't be allowed, how do you distinguish between it being okay for two people to get married and not okay for three people to get married?

Uh, isn't there a debate on polygamy somewhere else?

Why muddy the waters any worse than they already are?
