to compare the percentage of divorce in gay marriages in just this one year, to the average divorce rate for heterosexuals in the first year of marriage doesn't make any sense. this particular year, being the only year gay marriage has been legal, could just be an abberation.

So what is the point? Should gays not be allowed to get married because some percent will get divorced? If that were the case then heteros should have to follow the same standards.

I agree with lyra. (I was just answering dayhiker's question by giving the stats.)

The point is that homo's should not be allowed to get married.

After months and months of asking the question I have yet to get an answer so here it goes again, “How does same sex marriage threaten the family?”

for the record i am against gay marriage, but using their divorce rate as a weapon against it is just ridiculous...like mjc said, if we can't get it right how can we expect gays to

i'm with you lyra, i don't see how this article shows that gay marriage is wrong

I understand that guys buggering each other is repulsive to us heteros but how does this translate to gays are bad? How does this warrant discrimination?

If two adults love each other, they don't hurt each other or anyone else it is none of my damn business what they do. They should be afforded the same rights as a hetero couple.

I think it is a valid argument that the church should not be forced into wedding guys. In the same respect all marriages in the eyes of the goverment should be a civil union.

Lyra - that sometimes, couples split up, I think. Or maybe that gay couples face the same issues as everyone else and are not a different species.

anyone who is against gay marriage has some real freudian-ish pent up homo-curiousity issues.

This arguement comes up every time. It makes no sense what-so-ever. This logic is never used in any other arguement. Only when someone objects to homosexuality does this retort surface and it surfaces every time.

If someone says they don't like spinach, nobody ever says it is because deep down they are a spinach lover.

One explaination for this repeated circular logic, may be that a lot of the pro-homo folks actually find the homosexual lifestyle degrading and use it as an insult to attack anyone who speaks against homos. They go with the politically correct line even though they find the act of buggery and the life style of homo's to be disgusting.

i think it's funny that the only difference i can see between us on the polifuego issues is that you believe bush is a lesser evil than kerry.

that makes you conservative and me liberal to many folks.

Sacco, the old "if ya don't like gays you are afraid of them" is absolutely false. bacpac not only does not fear them he even rights what time he'll be at his local rest area on the men's room wall to prove he's not afraid.

bacpac- comparing sexual issues to spinach?

how relevant. but if you really want to use that dumbass example than how about this:

i hate spinach. it grosses me out. i could give a flying phuck if you wanna eat spinach all day long.

tell me why the hell i should care what other people do with their spinach?

and remember, this is your dumbass example.

oh ya, that's right, bacpac hates gays cause they're always hitting on him LOL

now who do you put more faith in? their gaydar, or bacpac's denial?

let it go bacpac- they already know.

Sacco hates spinach, because he is a spinach lover.

So what does hating gays have to do with not allowing them to get married?

bacpac hates spinach, therefore no one can eat spinach.

The azz pic I don't need to see, but I'm straight and I don't find gays in general disgusting.
I truly can't for the life of me understand why anyone would care very much.

"Up-to-date information on the number of civil unions that have been dissolved in Vermont was not available Wednesday. But from July 1, 2000, through the end of 2004, according to the Vermont Office of Vital Records, 7,549 couples have filed for civil unions in Vermont and there have been 78 dissolutions.

=1% breakup over 3.5 years




In the first year for heteros its less than .1%

Yes, that says "point one percent". The worse year is the 4th, where it's 4.5%”
Sarge

So if any less than 3.5% or so broke up in the first 6 months of 2005 you're arguing for an end to heterosexual unions?

Couple problems with your troll-post violin.

1. Vermont <> U.S.
2. You apparently missed an earlier post of mine where I said : "I agree with lyra. (I was just answering dayhiker's question by giving the stats.)"
