"Sanctifying" marriage -- Thanks George

[kz_blogorambling]

I just wanted to let George Bush know that my husband and I are deeply grateful that he is going to make sure our marriage stays "sanctified." I could feel our union unraveling every time another homo got to use the word "marriage" to define his/her lifetime loving commitment to another person of the same sex.

We just feel so much *closer* now, knowing that he's going to bat for this crumbling institution we are a part of. Our union feels that much more sacred.

Thank you, George Bush, for recognizing that when two humans make a deep and abiding commitment to the love, care and wellbeing of a life partner, it isn't worthy of being called "marriage" unless we've taken a gender census of the couple and found that it's one of each.

I hope I don't need a sarcasm alert here.

Well written, Cranky - my sentiments exactly.

If we get right down to it, my husband and I are violating the sanctity of marriage ourselves because we aren't "being fruitful & multiplying" :^P

There ain't a rolleyes big enough for the way I feel about this "arguement" against gay marriage.

If you did, I'd seriously question the person's ability to survive on a daily basis. ;) You kick ass! :)

Plus, the rebuke of gay marriages makes it safer for our friends in the animal kingdom, since most of our heroes on the religious right agree that legalizing homosexual unions would bring us one step closer to legalized beastiality....

I'mma go look for a cite for that now.

Tried to find the Ambrose Bierce version of "sancity", but only came up with "sacrament"...

SACRAMENT, n.
A solemn religious ceremony to which several degrees of authority and significance are attached. Rome has seven sacraments, but the Protestant churches, being less prosperous, feel that they can afford only two, and these of inferior sanctity. Some of the smaller sects have no sacraments at all -- for which mean economy they will indubitable be damned.

Y'know, in most cases, I'm pretty good at seeing the "other side" of an issue. I lose a lot of arguments because of it, in fact.

But the gay marraige issue is one of the few issues that I simply canNOT see the anti's point on. I really, really can't. I can't think of one damn thing WRONG with allowing gay couples to legally bind their unions the way straight people do.

I mean, at 16, gays can get driver's licences. At 18, they can vote, at 21 they can drink, and at 35 they can run for President. They work, they pay taxes, they spend money and all the other stuff that straight people do. What is the freakin' problem with allowing them the right to be married?

Is there something I'm missing here?
