I'm thinking more long the lines of a counter for religious arguments against gay marriage. Since not all religions oppose it, banning it is staking a side on a religous issue, which is banned.

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Well, my partner John and I just had a discussion.
John asked me if I wanted to go to San Francisco City Hall tomorrow to get married.
After an long discussion, we've decided to hold off for a while.
Why?
Well, we are already registered as Domestic Parners with the State of California (for what good that does), but if we were to get married (and yes, we both want to), we need time to plan for it. We don't want a rush job.
I want a ceremony (nothing big or special) but I want a fabulous reception with my whole family and John's whole family present (along with various friends, of course)....but to plan for something like this takes time.
So, even though in my earlier posts, I stated that I don't care if they call my union between my partner and I a "marriage" or something else....I was not being fully honest with myself and Starchild's earlier post helped me to open my eyes to the entire issue at hand (ie, seperate but unequal).
Any how, John and will be married (laws allowing), but after being together for almost 14 years (hows that for a dating period!), we want and need the time to plan for our special day.
I don't want the entire process to end up being a rush job, that's all.____________________________

Wittlich you rock
As a republican I actually like Newsom, but I feel that this little "stunt" of his will be short lived, unfortunately.
If anywhere, SF should be the have for gay marriage. Sheesh! Go down to the Castro (like I did a while ago to help friends move) and you will understand why; it's the most normal place in all the bay area!
Anyway, I hope your special day is well planned. I am getting ready to go to a friends, uh, whatever you call it, "wedding" soon. I am most certain it will be more tasteful and fun than any of the 7 weddings I went to last year.

Wow, 14 years. On your pic, I would never have thought you were old enough to have a 14 years old relationship"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

That's because of secret homosexual fashion products which make you look 10 years younger .
Wittlich: Hope your wedding ceremony is a very nice one, planned to the detail in the way you like it“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

So the crack head mother of 12 children who spends her welfair money on more drugs has shown she is more worthy to receive a benefit than two gays who want to get married...
At first, their was a penality in the tax structure for those that got married. Living in sin actually was better for tax purposes.... Married straight couples NEVER had to prove that they were worthy of the benefits... so why should gays.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

What? It's a picture of a 41 year old gay man...are you telling me that my picture doesn't look like a 41 year old straight man?
But I understand your post Spiffor, thanks for the compliment!
PS Imran is right, it's because of products I use from: http://www.nancyboy.com Though I doubt that it's because of NancyBoy products....I guess it doesn't hurt either!____________________________

It would only end up being a bigger picture of me.
And no, I don't have wrinkles (yet) but my hair is greying through-out...however, everyone tells me that the grey just makes me look sexy. I don't care if my hair turns purple - as long as it doesn't fall out!____________________________
