Sorry, not familiar with the term you are referring to.
She died 2 years ago after 40 years of marriage and 4 children.
Thanks for the input.[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 09-12-2012).]

I have been saying this about the far leftists for years. Ever notice the ones pointing their fingers the hardest are usually the most guilty?

So it would be pretty offensive if someone referred to her based on a crude term for an orifice.
My sympathies for your loss.[This message has been edited by WhiteDevil88 (edited 09-12-2012).]

Leviticus is Old Testament--Moses time.

Please let us know where Jesus' opinion on homosexuals is. You know, the single guy who hung out with a bunch of other dudes all the time

As his Father believed and thought, so did the Son and Holy Ghost. (He was not referring to Joseph)
But I hear they all just caught the last train for the coast--you can ask him when he gets there.  [This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 09-12-2012).]

Thanks for making the point that LBGT is offensive on all levels.

How is it special treatment? Two people want to be "married" by the government. A government that is not run by religion, if you remember, right? So marriage is just a legal contract between two people... nothing more.
They want the SAME rights, that is all. It is not special treatment. Special treatment would be a tax break for being not being a hetersexual.
This just harkens back to civil rights for women and for minorities. It isn't special treatment to be treated the same.
Now, if you want, maybe we should just banish marriage from the government and everyone how wants to become partners just have to sign a contract? That would solve the issue, then there is no more religion in "marriage" (at the government level). Problem solved.

| quote | “I looked him in the eye as we were leaving,” recalls Goodridge. “And I said, ‘Governor Romney, tell me — what would you suggest I say to my 8 year-old daughter about why her mommy and her ma can’t get married because you, the governor of her state, are going to block our marriage?’”
|
|
Imagine the outrage if Romney had the audacity to tell her what to tell her daughter. Interfering with the family, etc.
His position on gay marriage aside, no president or politician should care or tell you what to tell your children.
His position on gay marriage is well known. If as president he doesn't want any federal regulation over it and leaves it up to the states, it's a non-issue. I'm sure the LBGT community won't vote for him as governor.

Marriage is a religious term. It refers to the promises made between a woman, and a man, and God and his congregation.
I don't care what individuals want to do, but I do object to using the term 'marriage' to somehow legitimize their decision.
"Civil union" works for me.
