Silly in nature??!! In what way can a loving relationship between two people be unequal to another two and how can a comparison of them being equal be irrational? And that goes double for the "silly in nature" comment! I mean...it is natural. Two people love each other. They marry one another because they feel that they are meant for one another and wish to seal this in the bond of Marriage. There is homosexuality documented in nature, btw. What difference does it make what race, creed, sex they are? I do have a question to everyone here - how are hermophradites considered in the regard to Marriage (for those not aware of what a hermophradite is, it is someone with both sets of genitals)? Does anyone know what the law says about Marriage for them? How would you, jade, consider Marriage between two hermophradites? How about you, Bugs? And that brings up another question for those of a religious bent - if someone has sex with a hermophradite, is that considered a hetrosexual act, or a homosexual act? And what if two hermophradite have sex? What is it then? What I clearly do not understand, is how anyone can insist that legal rights only apply to them, not due to anything other than because the "others" are different in some manner. Wasn't America built and founded on the idea of Equal Rights? Isn't that why we have the Bill of Rights? And I quote [quote] Fourteenth Amendment was passed, which stated, in part, that: ? No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; [b]nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.[/b][/quote] I clearly do not understand why anyone who is living in the US, who was born and raised there, or came there and became a citizen, would wish to totally ignore one of the founding blocks upon which the country was built on. I suppose that is why some opposed Obama as President, why some opposed allowing women to vote, allowing different races to vote and be equal citizens, oppose the right of a woman to decide what to do with her body, and insist upon being able to pick and choose who has the right to Marry. They do not really accept the Bill of Rights, do not really accept America at all. Mind-boggling as that may sound.
