How's that going for you? Any good candidates yet? I heard chickenfucker is pretty knowledgeable...
Candidates for what? Interviewees for my book about gay bedroom mechanics?
ChickenFucker is not currently being considered for a position.
I largely agree with you, though I think their is a much deeper problem at play here.
Unless I'm mistaken, there's nothing stopping churches from marrying same sex couples. Marriage is the union of 2 individuals, and to some, god as well. So can someone remind me why government is involved in marriage anyway?
I assume most gay couples want one of 2 things from marriage:
1. So they can then get the same benefits as straight couples that have also gotten their meaningless paper from the local courthouse. I'm guessing most fall into this category.
2. So they can "make it official" in the eyes of the State. In which case I'd say their naive for putting so much faith and authority in a system that has denied them rights that others have been allowed to enjoy for so long.
I think you too are naive to believe that changing "marriage" to "civil union" would do a damn thing, other than maybe appease the religious nuts. Temporarily at least.
My solution?
Stop giving benefits to married couples altogether. Better yet, get rid of fucking taxes, and none of this would be an issue in the first place.
Make marriage a religious ceremony only with no legal standing. Churches and religious people can define it how they want.
Allow consenting adults to enter into whatever legal contracts, partnerships or civil unions they want.
Problem solved.

Nature will also let gays reproduce one day. Fuck you nature how dare you only let a man and a woman reproduce. If two people love each other they should be able to reproduce. Nature is a bigot.
Now I know there's some goat fuckers in here, so I'm going to say it. Keep your fucked up unnatural sex life in your bedroom. I dont want to hear about it. Yes goats have a nice beard and horns you can hold on to when you're giving it raw.

Tina Fay hit it on SNL Weekend Update a few years ago when Mass passed gay marriage:
I'm not from the US but I've been seeing some Republicans getting very worked up about it on the news so I've got to ask... It's not mandatory is it?
Instinctively, I'm pro gay marriage. I have no issues with a man loving another man, and wanting to socially "legitimize" that relationship. It's gross as hell, but i really could give a fuck less what kind of sex other people are having. Let em get hitched. .Why would I care? I sincerely don't.
The problem is, the further we stray away from the christian (I'm atheist) morals that our country and culture are founded on, the weaker our country gets as a whole. Obama, of course, understands this. Common beliefs and values, reinforced by religion, are what holds societies together. As much as I'd like to believe in some new age, progressive, liberal value system...I just don't think it works long term. We are a Christian nation like it or not. While far from perfect, it has served to unite us and allow us to build one of the greatest nations in history.
It's ridiculous to think we could completely separate church from state.
my 2 cents.

The topic is marriage, not reproduction. Most currently married people are not trying to reproduce. The Duggard family do not represent most of society.

Weaker how? The Bible belt has higher crime rates, alcoholism, lower incomes, etc.
Vermont is very low crime and often goes entire years without a murder. Vermont was the first state to have gay marriage and is loaded with hippies like Ben and Jerry.
Morally
Perhaps they are the most distressed? Spiritually?...subconsciously? I really have no clue why that is...there are endless factors that may or may not be involved. Intriguing to think about though.
Damn, I'm always dying to ask people this stuff but am usually too polite and sober to inquire. Will you let me know the next time you're starting one of your hypothetical interrogations? Maybe at ASW? You'd have plenty of subjects.
We are in no way, nor have we ever been, a Christian nation. Many of the founders were fiercely anti-church. American has been getting weaker from the very start, as all government do, it has nothing to do with religious values.
"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth." - Jefferson
"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved-- the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"
