I oppose this ammendment. Personally, I think that this issue has absorbed entirely too much of our time. With terrorists trying to kill our citizens and a looming international crisis with the Chinese government, I fail to see how the issue of whether or not citizens of this country are allowed to affirm their bonds through civil union, is in the least bit worthy of the time of our government, esspeciallt since this matter has already been settled once before.
There are people out there who are dying, because they need better access to health care and we are devoting our energies to blocking gays from the court houses. Please....
We talk about our rights, but for no real apparent reason, we block certain of our citizens from execising theirs. What is it that we are affraid of, anyway? That seeing gay couples wondering the streets will make us gay too?
In the time it has taken me to type this, hundreds of babies have been slaughtered in the abortion mills of our country. Why aren't we doing something about that. Why not, worry about that, instead of whether or not our child's friend is a homosexual?
If some of those of us were as concerned about life as they claimed, they would be working on opening up our society. Droping our fears and bigotry and making life easier for our citizens, instead of slamming doors in their faces.
I truely find it sad, how obssesed some of my otherwise, fine collegues are with this issue.
Applause from the rafters. Sorry to shed any pretense of GM nonpartisanship, but...
Gay marriage is a settled issue in Atlasia. I did not agree with the judgement we made, but it was made by the people in a democratic fashion, and should be respected. We have rendered several verdicts on the issue, all coming out the same. The idea that the secessionists have actually gotten this garbage onto the Senate floor is shameful in itself.
