    It's not important that you get it, Chrissy, but it's truly an asset to have you as a Member of this fine group!

    I beg to disagree, @Hal Pollner . Two women having sexual relations is as unnatural as two men doing it. Unnatural; as in not what nature intended.

    I don't think about these things...not my problem or business is the way I look at it.

    If it affects me or my loved ones then maybe but so far it hasn't.

    Aside from the religious factor...how does a gay couple getting married affect me personally in any way?

    I have no side in this...but if I was forced to make a cake I didn't want to I'd make it terrible tasting and I might even accidentally on purpose put something yucky in it.

    Also, if I forced someone to make a cake, I wouldn't feel good about eating it...I'm too paranoid.

    I don't even like to send back or complain in a restaurant because I'm sure when it comes out there will be spit in it. :) Or worse.

    I know plenty of people who would disagree with gay marriage for reasons having nothing to do with religion.

    Yes, besides religion...why? I don't understand.

    I do understand the religious objection even if I don't agree with it but not any other reason.

    Someone doesn't have to be religious to think that men belong with women rather than men with men, and women with women. You may disagree with them, but there are plenty of non-religious people who find homosexuality to be abhorrent or disgusting.

    @Hal Pollner
    Well, what the married men engage in is sickening to me, but I don't see a man marrying another man as sick, not in and of itself. Think of the tax benefits of filing jointly!

    The Supreme Court was deadlocked, so they passed the final ruling on to Judge Judy.

    and she woulda said..''woulda, coulda, shoulda''... ''beauty fades dumb is forever.''...even if you live to 104 you'll never be as smart as me ''... don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining''.... ''
    "Have you ever heard of the KISS principle? Keep It Simple, Stupid?" ''...and finally she'd sum up by saying... ''I don't care how the Word of God applies here. This is a courtroom, not a church, so don't preach to me''

    :D

    Lots of things are disgusting and abhorrent. I mind my own business and as long as nobody comes into my house and has sex in front of me...I don't care what two consenting adults do in their home or car, etc.

    Everybody just sees the flashy parades etc and lifestyle but there are many quiet homosexuals that just happen to love another man...you can't really choose who you love with all your heart...why deny them a whole life without that just because you don't agree with it. It's cruel...love is love.

    Just my opinion.

    My only point was that opinions against homosexuality are not necessarily religious.

    Yes, I understand....and I guess if I think about it more I'm sure some are against it that are atheists.

    I also see it as a macho thing...with men anyway.

    To be honest, it's something I think very little about....just isn't a part of my life in too many ways.

    I watch "Shameless" on Netflix and that has quite a few pretty explicit homosexual, lesbian and regular sex scenes ...I don't care for it and will fast forward after a minute ...I'm not interested but I don't have to go and throw up, lol.

    They do overdo it in my opinion but otherwise I like the show.
