waddya know...chimpy and I agree on civil rights for new jersey gays

[ourbluenation]

"I don't think we should deny people rights to a civil union, a legal arrangement, if that's what a state chooses to do so. I view the definition of marriage different from legal arrangements that enable people to have rights. And I strongly believe that marriage ought to be defined as between a union between a man and a woman. Now, having said that, states ought to be able to have the right to pass laws that enable people to be able to have rights like others."

1. Why shouldn't same-sex couples have the right to marry?

Civil unions and marriage ARE NOT the same thing and they ARE NOT EQUAL.

God, the homophobia on this site tonight is absurd.

3. Well, your subject line said you agreed with Shrub on this issue.

He stated that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman.

How would you expect one to interpret that?
