Im just sayin that if your partnership is gay then how would you have kids and really call them yours. No matter how much u think of them as yours they will never be yours. Thats why god made man and woman so that they can do the job that you gay couples are trying to do. You never be able to.

If you REALLY are trying to protect marriage, then we should just go ahead and make it illegal to get divorced, hmmmm. I do recall that the " Bible" labeled it as a sin, one punishable by death, and compared homosexuality to the same abomination as eating shellfish.. should we revert back to stoning people to death again too?

Excerpt from: Part Two: "Discourse on Gay and Lesbian Marriage", by Ivan Erickson. Please be aware that - although my writing style is forceful and direct, I love all people of all faiths and ethnicities of whom God loves, and it is my desire to lead each of you beloved of God to the Truth and the Light.
"I will state as succinctly as possible for all to read and hear, that those who are condoning and enacting laws that legalize or allow any acts of sinfulness – especially those deadly sins – not only are accruing the punishments for their own sins by doing so, but they are also accruing the penalties of sin for all those of whom they have abetted in sin or led astray! I will not elaborate on this and other areas of deadly sins at this particular point in my discourse, because I have developed fully the causes, effects and almost the entire breadth and scope of sinfulness of man – and how all may overcome sinfulness through Jesus Christ – in my novel, “Song of the Storm Winds”, as well as in my discourses and essays that are available for your review and comments on the Fargo Catholic Schools Network, as will as on www.ivan-erickson.com".

Brits, Humans are animals. You might counter that your religion makes a distinction, but that's theology, not biology. Your Christianity is not the same as my Christianity (and I belong to the largest protestant denomination in XX); your interpretation of the message of Jesus is clearly not the same as mine. So let's just leave religion out of this, and focus on the constitution and the rights of individuals.

I am the author of a 3-volume religious/fiction novel entitled, "Song of the Storm Winds". I am also writing religious discourses on current topics, and which are posted on "The Fargo Catholic Schools Network", as well as on my personal website, www.ivan-erickson.com, where visitors may comment. My latest discourse of which will be of interest to gays, lesbians and hetersexuals alike, is entitled: May 31, 2008: "Discourse on Gay and Lesbian Marriage: On the Truth and the Light Regarding: The Establishment of the Sinfulness of Homosexuality, Gay Unions, and Other Deadly Sins: A Plausible Answer for the Inherent Nature of Homosexuality: And on the Hope for Overcoming the Plight of the Sinfulness of Mankind and for Salvation Through Faith in Jesus Christ:

Anyone who wants to accept the financial and tax drawbacks, and continue to pay lots of their hard earned money to this corrupt government should tie the knot. If gay couples want to join this lousy status, so be it. Let them.
That being said, I will be voting against gay marriage in CA in November. Not because they don't deserve to be "miserable" like the rest of us, but because this issue was voted on before; and in a democracy, voters are king, not a handful of judges who overturn the choice of voters. I will not stand by while a handful of clowns forge the law as they see fit. That is not democratic, that is fascism.
Voter to voter, pimp to pimp --- that's where law will be decided, and certainly not from a mahogany pedestal.

Just like Wellsford Realty in San Diego (www.wellsfordrealty.com) who is offering their Pride Promotion to pay for honeymoon or wedding receptions for gay couples, many are glad to have the opportunity to welcome the change.

Brits Donossian is worried about a "malstroem of perversion [sic]"
?!? Have you seen today's footage of the creaky, middle-aged couples who have waited 9 years, 18 years, even 50 years(!) to be married? I don't see any perversion going on, just love and commitment. Good for them.
Everyone, see today's Swedish research. God is cranking out a small % of the human race with genetic differences that tend to make them homosexual. Relax, that percentage won't change if homosexuals get married. If you want to "defend marriage", help out all the straight couples whose marriages are struggling.
