Gay marriage making progress in Norway, State of California

[Safe-Keeper]

You all know that recently, a Surpreme Court in California made gay marriage legal within the entire 36.5 million people state. Meanwhile in Norway, there's clear support in five of eight parties for gay and lesbian marriage, adoption, and artificial insemination (the latter should hopefully shut up the anti-gay "they can't have children" whining choir, though I'm not holding my breath:p). That's 41.3 more people who now have the right to marry within their own gender, should they so desire.

Score one for progress.

Oh, and while I remember it, I want to post this:

'Cause you just know there are still people out there who think "separated but equal" is a valid way to handle minority rights.

One day people will look up up in the history books and wonder why why we where so
socially backward at this time and why everything took so long to change.

Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of Saint John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comp.

I am glad that there is no support for such things in Poland.

I think it is far more likely that they cast curses on us for our self-deconstruction, our unlimited relativizing of norms that keep a survivable social community together, for our shortsightedness and stupidity. In this context - and in several others as well.

This is good news overall. I just wish they wouldn't use the term 'marriage'. Its too loaded a term.

Gays can't screw up marriage any more then straight folks already have

In case Gays and Lesbians will call it marriage I call "straight" families and couples - misunderstanding that appears periodically due to unortodox traditions.

Your logic is flawed here Safe-Keeper and whomever thinks that the person who calls themselves "Gay" is not in violation of not God law or Man's law but what about the laws of nature if you must call it that...it's like trying to screw two nuts together or two bolts...it just does'nt naturally work that way.

Man though has the unique ability to try to rationalize any behavior as "OK".


To me...blowing your head off with a shotgun for example would be perfectly ok huh?....To "ME" maybe that is ok...or sacrficing little babies upon fires or whatever...

My point is every person on Earth...whether they are religious or not or athesist has natural sense of right and wrong...It becomes a "Choice"...a voluntary Choice a person makes as to which way he or she will live they're life.

Being a follower of Jesus Christ..this type of behavior is any human souls God given right to choose...that said it is also the Creators right not to have to live with such who make such choices...and again...it is all back to choice and Free will...given by God Himself..enjoy your choice...and please choose wisely...

41.3 million people...you say...?

Wide is the road that leadeth to destruction.

Subman & Letum - take it offline please....

We got much bigger issues in this world to think about than whether two consenting adults be it male or female, get married. For the record Gay Marriage is legal in Canada.

Fine by me, I may not agree with it as far as my own lifestyle, but I do respect it.
