What's most important? I wonder.

I might come off as biased because my brothers in law are gay, but I think the whole gay marriage ban is ridiculous... There was a time when interracial couples could not get married, and this is 2009-- how can we vote to get rid of rights for certain people?

Honestly, most of the gay and lesbian people I know are more suitable to raise children and be wed than most of the straight people I know.

Seriously though, it's 2009 - and this is racism, except it's not against blacks or hispanics, it's against the sexuality some people don't approve of.

How is it fair to vote on the rights of a person who you don't even know? Makes me sick.

I say health care, its bad in the states and it needs to be fixed.

The real problem is fat/ignorant conservative people who want money and don't want to pay taxes but can't really do anything, besides instill hatred in the productive and constructive minority here in America. They have their right to be fat and ignorant, and we should have our right to extricate them from this world based on the fact that they degrade society and the human race in general. Ironically these people are too fat and stupid to keep in good health, so they make this problem even worse at the same time.

I agree with you man, except I think for them to have accepted that last proposition would have been bad for the reputation of gays.
Equating gays being married with blacks being married would require confirming that blacks don't deserve to be married explicitly in the bible, thus demanding rule in favor of racism and racist interpretation.
It was bad logic, and I think most gays would agree that that proposition was in vain, and more to escalate the issue than to actually achieve the legalisation.

How progressive of you.

Maybe we don't think the government is qualified to run medical care.
Maybe we don't want to be involved with your schemes.
Maybe we live in a republic of laws where our oppinions still matter.
Maybe we are already 60 trillion in the hole with future obligations.
If you want socialism fine put down the guns and ask us to join
and kindly leave us alone when some of us refuse.
I don't care if you want socialism go for it, just don't force me to be part of it.

As far as Gays go I honestly don't care what they do.
I knew a lezbo where I used to work and we talked about it
I must say it doesn't seem fair.
Why is government involved in marrage anyway,
riddle me that batman.

I've even heard that if we let men marry eachother it opens the door to
men marrying animals and all kinds of other wild nonsence, please.
I suppose if you can get the donkey to say "I Do" go with it, I guess.

Biggest issue? Undoing what Dubya did these last 8 years....

Uhhh ... your name wouldn't just happen to be Adolph, would it?

Strange, I don't see legalization on there, and that is a social issue, and probably the one that most people here would view as the most important.

yeah I wasn't really serious. seems pompous to take it as such XD

bro, yes that is exactly what I mean. Allocate the resources to the people who actually contribute. Fat lazy people buy fat and lazy food and make fat lazy waste. Overeducated people hopefully understand the other issues and at least make an effort to reduce their footprints. I would so much rather see $300 spent on solar panels than on cheeze its and shotgun shells.
