That would be comical. If Rove wasn't such an asshole. Face it, "traditional marriage" has been destroyed not by gays.... but by HETEROSEXUALS. Time for them to own up to their "indiscretions". But this crowd, including Mr. Maistros, doesn't have a shred of intellectual honesty, so it will be a cold day in hell before that happens.

This glib attitude toward gay men and women is what fuels so much bigotry. Reverse the scenario. The only legal marriage is for gays. A straight man falls in love. Some snotty gay writer comes along and says "sure you can get married, bit only to another man." There is no moral o rational, argument for denying millions a basic right enjoyed by the majority. There is only hatred, fear and bigotry. Gay Americans are not “dodgers fans”. This glib attitude toward gay men and women is what fuels so much bigotry.

Ugly people, nerds, losers . . . these people can't even get dates, let alone married. I say we codify into law their right to marriage. Granted, this forces some poor person to marry them, but it's no different than guaranteeing someone health care and forcing the doctors to treat them whether they want to or not.

And especially glad, James, that you're ready to take up my suggestion of considering marriage to a heterosexual woman. I'll pass on handing over one of my daughters to you, though. Sounds like you're harboring just a tad of hostility there. And Bill, I must have a little respect for the sanctity of marriage ... I've been hitched to the same woman for 31.5 years and six kids. Obviously, my wife has even more respect than I do, since she has put up with me all this time. I must confess, though, my amusement at this curious notion that gays must express their "love" for one another by getting "married." This "love" must be why gays are breaking the doors down to get married in places like Massachusetts (not), why the average committed gay relationship lasts like 1.5 years, and why during that time most MSM still have multiple partners. That wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I pledged to remain married "as long as we both shall live." Might there be a bit of a political agenda involved in these laughable (literally) lawsuits? PERISH the thought. Bob Hey, Bill and James,
