This is why we fight. This is why we need marriage equality NOW.

Congratulations, Arthur and Jim. I so wish you could have done this earlier.

How disgusting, tragic, and heartbreaking to see toll ALS takes. God almighty, to see the poor bastard being slotted into the plane in his stretcher ...

How disgusting, tragic, and heartbreaking to see the lengths these two men are forced to go, and at what expense, just to get hitched - in a country in which there exists such a thing as 72 hour marriages and drive-in wedding chapels - for straights.

But wow, what a beautiful love story between these two men. Painful, heartbreaking, maddening, yes, but astonishingly beautiful.

This really should be required viewing for ALL of those on the other side. What argument could they possibly have?

What argument?

Oh, well that's easy. As much as these two gentlemen have a right to confuse love with their unnatural, profoundly unhealthy homosexual relationship they do not have a right to define key social and legal terms for the self justification of their tiny self selected minority. Particularly not so that they can destroy marriage for those of us who don't suffer from the pitiable mental illness the urge to homosexual acts is symptomatic of.

You're welcome.

Dan - I live in Cincinnati and read this article in the paper over my coffee Sunday morning. A significant point that you didn't mention, and I didn't catch until the end of the article, is that on top of it being a portrayal of what this couple had to go through to get married it is also an endorsement of marriage equality by the editorial board of the most conservative newspaper in the state of Ohio. I think that is huge.

As much as these two gentlemen have a right to confuse love with their unnatural, profoundly unhealthy homosexual relationship . . .
On what basis, according to what qualifications, should we consider you an expert, or even a credible layperson, on the subject of love, and how it is to be correctly defined?
. . . they do not have a right to define key social and legal terms for the self justification of their tiny self selected minority.
No, but voters and or the delegates they empower to carry out their will can define those social and legal terms for the social and legal purposes those contracts fulfill. And since that definition has no bearing on your own marriage, or even your own beliefs regarding marriage, you'll have to do a better job than you have here or elsewhere in illustrating your stake.
Particularly not so that they can destroy marriage for those of us who don't suffer from the pitiable mental illness the urge to homosexual acts is symptomatic of.
Apart from an unwarranted dig disguised as a medical assertion, how is "marriage" as you understand it even so much as nicked, let alone destroyed, by the legal recognition of homosexual marriage? How is it more damaging to the institution, from your perspective, than any other marriages which one is welcome to consider a sham under the doctrine of free exercise?

All I need to see about homosexuality is on display at any of the disgusting "Pride" parades. Deviants, freaks, perverts and general scum make up a considerable portion of your so called healthy expression of sexuality.

All I need to know about homosexuality is that something any 16 year old kid could figure out about how to have sex you folks can't understand. It's like when I was watching my toddler with one of those benches with the round and square holes diligently trying to push the circle into the square, only with adults.

If you have a problem with basic bioligical reality, you have my sympathies. If you expect others to celebrate and applaud your inability to figure out something as basic as sex you have my oposition. If you wish to attack key social institutions to satisfy your toddler fits of pique you have my repugnance.

@8: Exactly right. The fact that the quote below comes from the Cincinnati Enquirer editorial board (and not the Plain Dealer) is huge. I predict the vote will be solid in 2014 to overturn the gay marriage ban amendment. I will work my knuckles to the bone to make that happen.
But we believe this is the strongest argument of all: That couples who are already fulfilling the responsibilities of marriage, caring for each other in sickness and in health, should enjoy the privileges of marriage as well. They should be able to depend on the rights that many of us take for granted. They should be able to raise their children without having to carry adoption papers on a flash drive around their neck, and own property together without worry of what will happen to it upon death. They should be able to marry in the presence of family and friends, no matter where they live, and finally feel like full citizens no matter whom they love.

Since when?

Oh, since about two weeks ago when my hater evangelical pastor delivered an impassioned sermon about the moral responsibility of what we say and how we say it, with specific reference to the debate on gay marriage and other current political issues. See, that hating SOB fundamentalist who hates gays was worried about conversations he'd heard that didn't sound very Christian to him, but you know how those haters are....

I needed to hear it, since I had gotten to use words I'd punish either of my children for using, in a tone they'd likewise be disciplined for employing.

So to the extent that I did use those words or substitute insult for discussion, or to the extent that instead of deep compassion for those afflicted with homosexual inclinations I expressed what with shame I can only honestly call hatred, I am sincerely apologetic.

Which doesn't change the fundamental illness of the inclination, nor the truth that having chosen a lifestyle an adult accepts the consequences of it rather than complaining about them.

"I don't use the words fag or dyke or use insults"



In the span of about a month...

Fight the good fight, Baronnelle Stutzman. Good for you. All decent Americans support you.

As for the fags in the AG office or the fags suing her- how about going to a fag florist? It isn't as though they're rare. No? Want to make trouble just to make trouble for a decent person? I'm shocked- shocked I tell you!



Stutzman is asserting her constitutionally mandated right to free religious expression and denying these fags something they could get just as easily from 4 or 5 other florists in their community. The faggots are asserting some imagined right to force someone to sell them something whether they wish it or not.
And you're on the side of the faggots...? Hmm.



Faggots and dykes chose their behavior. Whether they chose their inclinations isn't legally relevant. I may be inclined to punch someone on the nose, but the law doesn't permit me to induldge in the behavior. But in the choice of behavior any claim to protected class status isn't merely laughable, it is insulting to those who had no choices.



Keep it up pervert faggots! Let decent Americans know that there really is no stopping point in your incessant demands to be priviledged citizens with the right to force others to your minority agenda. Yesterday marriage, today the thought police (albeit in flamboyant dress with a silly lisp...)



You know what? I fully support EQUAL rights for fags and dykes too. Deviant adult perverts have the right to be deviant perverts with other consenting adults whatever I think of their lifestyle choices. What I don't now and never will support is the right of fags and dykes to dictate legal and social terms for the 97% of their fellow citizens who aren't fags or dykes.



Equating real civil rights movements to marginalized people based on non-chosen characteristics to the effort of fags and dykes to set terms for everyone else isn't just wrong. It's profoundly insulting to those who had real civil rights challenges.



I refused to renew their lease, yes. Just as I refuse to do business with any suppliers or subcontractors who are owned by or hire fags or dykes. If they wish to make war on decent people, marriage and family, I refuse to make it easier for them with my hard earned money.



First, the idiotic comparison to inter-racial marriage is just that, idiotic. My wife had no choice in the color of her skin, nor did I. Under common justice we as a country decided that penalizing someone for something over which they had no choice is unacceptable. Faggots and dykes choose the sole thing that they're claiming differentiates them, their aberrant sexual choices. In common justice we should accord them the right to be deviant

I see, I think.

In your view a doctor treating someone for cancer is gentle condescension in sympathizing with his or her patient?

Is a mechanic saying 'sorry, but the engine is blown' gently condescending to his or her customer?

How about a psychiatrist empathizing with their mentally ill patient? Condescending?

I feel as badly for someone suffering from unhealthy sexual inclinations like homosexuality as I would for someone suffering from a sexual attraction to animals or children. That doesn't mean I can honestly say that any of those inclinations are good to exercise for the sufferer, nor can I condone political moves to normalize or celebrate any of these impulses.

Again, if plainly stated reality is difficult for you to hear your problem is not with the statement but with reality.

FYI

Hater, hate speech, homophobia (speaking of the APA I'm unfamiliar with a formal classification of this supposed disorder, so if you'd kindly stop using a fictitious term that'd be great) are all polemical terms without real meaning.

It is hateful to use the word faggot or dyke, just as it is to use the word nigger or kike or any of the other vulgar terms used to indicate dislike of a type or class of person. But hate speech and homophobia as used by your friends means usually 'I don't like what you have to say, so I'll throw an insult out to deter you from saying it.'

Frankly there are plenty of existing English words for an educated person to use that curse words, vulgarities and made up nonsense really don't add to any discussion.

So...you refuse to rent to people that you just feel sorry for? I'd say you're either judgmental of them or scared of them, and neither is remotely similar to sympathy.
@34: The difference between homosexuality and cancer, a damaged engine, and psychological illness is that The Gay isn't actually bad for you. Sure, you can never have biological children with your mate, but then again you never have to worry about accidental pregnancy. But it would be unfair of me to expect you to pay attention to reality.

Granting same-sex marriage rights to Americans will grant those rights to homosexuals, heterosexuals and everyone in between, equally. Thanks to the hard work of gay rights advocates, you now have the right to marry someone of your same sex in many states of our union. Whether you choose to exercise that right or not is entirely up to you. You're welcome. :)

Most who read the jaded words of Mr. Blues will realize how easy it is to become a proponent of marriage equality. I'm eager to read about how the change in Washington state's marriage laws have (or will) erode the marriage of Mr. & Mrs. Blues, not because I want their marriage to fail but because I can't imagine how it would be in any way related to the marriages of same sex couples. Knowing that he has such concerns about the private lives of others, I have great confidence that he'll be pleased to share his own details.
