Many basic rights taken for granted today were illegal and very unpopular in the not too distant past (interracial marriage, women voting) and were also labeled as blasphemy and against the word of God. Many of us find it hard to believe that the vast majority of people at those times were against these basic rights. Do you think we will view gay marriage/equality in this same light 100 years from now?Do you think gay marriage/civil unions will become legal in the United States and how long before it occurs?
i dont get the whole thing, about giving gays, such a hard time about getting married. this country has gone to the dogs. it has no morals, anything goes. the way i look at it is, as long as its not hurting anybody, its not going to cost us anything. whats wrong with it?our goverment has no problem with keeping up all these illegals up, to me thats worst than, letting gays get married. but what do i know, i just work and pay taxes?Do you think gay marriage/civil unions will become legal in the United States and how long before it occurs?
I certainly hope it becomes legal and soon. I am 60, and I would be thrilled if it would happen before I or my partner dies. Unfortunately, we are in a political climate right now where the conservative party (Republicans) have become afraid of the fundamentalist right wing church, and are controlled by them. I find it really sad, because until this decade I had been a supporter of the Republican Party and found them fiscally conservative. But they have really turned around. Not only are they controlled by the folks mentioned above, they have become spenders supreme, and have lost all fiscal responsibility. I believe if we can change the political tide in November and in 2008, we will see progress and reason in this area. If not, it will be a long road. The powers that be are more interested in staying in power by promoting legal bigotry and discrimination.
I'll leave the legal arguments alone; yes, we'll have same-sex marriage within about 10-20 years .... it's a generational issue ... and the younger folks in our country just simply don't get freaked out by gays and other ';sexual outlaws';
I hope not. I think eventually America will become more accepting, as it has in the past. I hope that eventually people will be people, no matter what they look like or who they sleep with. The point about basic rights we take for granted now is a good one. Let's just hope history continues that trend.
I am appalled by the idea that a woman can marry a woman!!! To me you can't get any sicker!!! I will never give in to the idea of gay marriage, but I'm afraid that it's already done it's damage. The morals of our country will never me the same. But I'll tell you one thing, I will never think of it as ';Right';!!!
First this is not any constitutional right, sexual preference is not protected nor should it ever be,
There is no comparison between women and interracial to perverted sexual acts, trying to make that comparison is first silly and next a real harm to the actual civil rights movement in our nation.
No, I forsee homosexual relatoinships being banned completely latter on.
Friar Chuck and Pokadots and many others above have missed one of the fundamental issues involved. Same-sex marriage has nothing to do with sex. And homosexual relations has nothing to do with marriage.
Is it legal in most US states for two people -- a man and a woman -- to get married and never have sex? Absolutely. Sexual relations is not a requirement to get a marriage license. And before Conservatives go point to those cases where a marriage was annulled because of no sexual relations, the actual legal grounds were fraudulent inducement. Not lack of sex.
So, two people (man and woman) can get married for the legal and financial benefits without ever having sex. And the biggest opposition that religious and conservative folks have over same-sex marriage appears to be the homosexual sexual relations aspect.
So, if two straight men, who will never have sex and will never kiss in public (or private) want to get married, for the legal and tax benefits, the Religious Conservatives shouldn't have a problem, right? I mean, nothing in the Bible says that two men cannot be involved in a financial partnership. Or gain other legal benefits through a government registration process. And we're talking about straight men, not gays, so there's no homosexual relations problem? So what's the problem? Do any of the religious arguments against same-sex marriage apply when sex is taken completely out of the question? No ';perverted sex acts'; as some have said, so no problem, right?
If not, then the only justification for denying same-sex couples the legal benefits of state-sanction monogamy is religious prejudice. And any religion that is so hypocritical that it says ';love thy neighbor, as long as they don't do anything you don't like'; I really feel sorry for.
The Supreme Court has already said that homosexual relations in private between consenting adults is none of the government's business. Lawrence v. Texas. That's not going to change, no matter how conservative a court the Republicans get appointed. And the Supreme Court has already said that marriage is a fundamental right, and that right includes choosing your spouse. Loving v. Virginia. And absent some religious/moral issue (for example, taking sex itself out of the equation) that's not going to change either.
So, the perfect test case is two straight people of the same gender who want to get married, for the legal benefits. Because then, homosexual conduct isn't an issue. And we're back to pure gender-based discrimination based on religious prejudice.
And anyone who tries to enforce religious prejudice through laws has forgotten the reason this country was founded in the first place.
I think that Gay marriages should be allowed.. So many times you see a gay person who married a straight person just to look ';normal'; they then live a lie of a marriage because one is not hetero. If gays want to marry let them. Its not hurting anyone.
The gay marriage issue is mostly a Karl-Rove-inspired idea to get religious conservatives who otherwise don't vote out to the polls to stick it to the gays. Ten years ago 90+% of us didn't want gay marriage. Two years ago it was just over 60%. Now it's just over half. In 2008 those who are against gay marriage will be in the minority.
In response to poster above, in Vermont two straight guys have already gotten a civil union.
I think it will become legal, probably within the next 10 years.
I don't really know -- But I'm sure the liberals will keep pushing until they get what they want.
In a hundred years liberals will have every thing made legal. You can have sexual intecourse with your dog or your dog can have it with you--all sorts of things we consider repulsive today will be commonplace.
But hey, I won't be here to see it.

How do you survive marriage sucessfully?
it sounds kinda scary... Im totally comittment phobic. how do you make it work?How do you survive marriage sucessfully?
Communication -respect- trust if in the relationship those fact doesn;t appear i dont think it can surviveHow do you survive marriage sucessfully?
You shouldn't have to survive marriage. If you are commitment phobic that just means that you haven't found a person that you want to spend the rest of your life with yet. When you find the person that is right for you just make sure that you have a lot of the same values in life. Make sure that you fully trust each other and have an idea of how you want to live. If you differ on some things that's okay and can be overcome but there are probably some things that you wouldn't change for the world and just make sure that the other person is willing to accept that. It's all about give and take!
Marriage is a scary venture. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do!!! I don't know if I've survived marriage successfully--it's had lots of bumps and bruises. I think in the beginning of the relationship things are usually very good. As time goes on, you start to worry about things like increased arguing, bouts of lack of trust, and in general just trying to get used to each other's habits.
You know what is a good lesson to learn? Your spouse loves you. I know that seems pretty simple, but if someone marries you, they love you. When you deal with all the drudgery of everyday life and you handle all the garbage that you need to handle, it's hard to lose the fact that there is love.
How do you survive life successfully?? you dont, you just live it and hope that the choices you make are the right ones.
to ';survive'; marriage its the same sort of thing, marry the person that fits you best. talk problems through and dont jump to conclusions, you are not at every time in your life or marraige going to be happy. marriage like life has alot of ups and downs, its a roller coaster ride you can only hope that your partner is there for this crazy life as well.
The biggest mistake people make with marriage is rushing in before they are ready. Make sure you choose the right person for oyu. You need someone that has had enough life experience that there not going to want to go out and run around on you or make stupid mistakes all the time to cause fights. You need chemistry and good communication. It also helps to have similar intrests and beliefs. I am not saying you have to like everything they do but you have to be able to sustain the relationsip for a long time without wanting someone else.
Marriage is not 50/50 like people say. It is 100/100. Both people have to be willing to give it 100% all of the time. It can be very hard, but it can also be so very easy. It is scary because you just never know what is going to happen. When you're ready you'll know it, and if you choose wisely and treat kindly you'll be just fine.
You don't look at is something you need to survive. Communication, laughter, sex, love, trust are all important.
You need to figure out why you are so scared. Marriage is not for everyone. It is okay if you don't want to get married.
Well get over your commitment phobia is a start. Having a phobia about commiting to a person is only going to make the marriage rocky and more than likely it won't survive.
You make it sound like you're on a desert island with one bottle of water and a wet book of matches.
Get real. It's up to you how it goes. If you can't communicate your likes and dislike and take control of your destiny then join a convent.
Communication. I am happily married, 18 years. Any time that my husband and I had any problems, it was because of lack of communications. Saying what you feel makes all the difference in the world.
You survive a car wreck or a bout with a disease.....lol. You have to be ready for marriage. It takes work on both sides. Communication is the big thing.
A wise man sees danger and hides himself, a fool rushes in.
I don't know, great question. so far I have not survived my marriage at all, I'm more like some kind of freaking ';disaster survivor';.
Be well.
You'll need a lifejacket, a swiss knife and basic survival training.
Communication, Trust, and Love
Alot and Alot of Patience...

What is the average percentage of ungrateful bastard husbands in the marriage society today?
I have seen this done this for Irksome so I will try and send you one and hope that the percentage that it will work is higher than that of ungrateful husbands Sorry you are having a bad day:

Oh-oh...sounds like you overextended yourself again to appease someone you've known is and has been ungrateful since the beginning.
Obviously, your very hurt and are kicking yourself because you've known all along that this was a defect. Been there.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and do something about it. Talk to him about it, get yourself some counseling, or surrender. Either way, it your decision. Good luck.What is the average percentage of ungrateful bastard husbands in the marriage society today?
Hi Jay Jay,
I think you need to vent to a therapist. I'm guessing in your world it's 100%, but then again I have a penis so that makes me one of those husbands you tell about. Guilty by gender perhaps! ; ) Girl it will get better but in the meantime please hide all you kitchen knives for the sake of all penis bearing humans.
Im grateful for what marriage provides.
1. consistent sex
2. kids
3. a dual income
4. ummm....other stuff I guess
5. ???
ha ha
But then there's the drawbacks.
1. no side action
2. no side action
3. no side action
4. no side action
5. no side action to infinity
So the drawbacks win!
........and why are they ungrateful bastards???????????? I've known some wonderful men that have ungrateful b***t**es for wives!
50/50!!!!!!
100% its at a all time high I know alot of good women who are either married,dating,or just dealing with ungreatful bastard husbands. These men in this day and age are just plan selfish and ungreatful.
I'd say 25%, another 25% are great, 25% boring, and 25% way worst then just ';ungrateful bastard';.
The only ungrateful ones that I know have stay at home wives. The real question is what percentage of marriages have the husband as the sole provider=there's your answer.
Well, about 50% of marriages end in divorce and not all of this is the man's fault so I figure it's about 40% that are affected.
Takes 2 to make a failed marriage.
Some days 100%. Some days 0%.
Same goes for ungrateful, bitchy wives.
I always ask myself ';would I want to come home to me?';
Judging from the answers and questions in M%26amp;D, I'd say the number is up there in the high nineties.
Oh, 24%. Luckily my husband is not part of that percentage.
Most. About 87%.
Depends which day you ask me that question.
99.9%
95%

If you wear a signet ring on your ring finger, does it mean you have to have sex after marriage?
This girl at my school told me that if you wear your signet ring on your left hand, ring finger, you are giving up your virginity to your parents until marriage.
Is this true?If you wear a signet ring on your ring finger, does it mean you have to have sex after marriage?
Interesting ambiguity:
[you have to have s** after marriage]
The deontic modal can take scope over either of two segments according to the following parsings:
1) 'HAVE TO' [have s** after marriage]
or
2) 'HAVE TO HAVE S***' [after marriage]
yielding two distinct interpretations, although horny young estupidos will be more keenly interested in one of these, while more or less satisfied married couples will be concerned with the other.
Way to go, kids, you're learning to think ahead (no pun).
