lykomancerOrson Scott Card's opinion on marriage.
Grr.
GRR!
There's so much wrong with that article I'm not even entirely sure where to begin.
Word meanings change over time, people. Words are not static.
(Most of the marriages preformed by the Christian church in the 1st century AD were homosexual marriages.)
The Angry Liberal's opinion on marriage
We need to pick and choose what we believe in. We need to pick and choose what is important to us. What affects us most. What impacts our lives the most.
I don't understand it. I really don't. What are people afraid of? What's wrong with the idea of two people in a loving relationship, in partnership, in wedlock? What does that threaten? What does that really mean to you? What are you so afraid of?!? Are heterosexuals so insecure that they must deny the right to the pursuit of happiness-- a Constitutional right-- to those that wish to seek their joy and love with a member of the same sex?
What's so wrong about shifting the definition of a word when the English language is so fluid anyway?
All men are created equal... Heh, not in this America. All men are created equal, but not women. Not black men. Or hispanic men. Or gay men. Not if they're Iraqi. Not if you don't support the President whole-heartedly. Not if you're poor. Or disabled. Or... hell, you got it by now.
We lose if we enforce intolerance.
Grr.
