This will make marriage statistics go up! You would think that the conservatives would be happy.

4. Osama bin Laden doesn't define marriage
as between one man and one woman, he defines it as between one man and up to four women.

But I've got nothing against that interpretation: any man who wants to subject himself to four wives deserves everything he gets. Its not Government's role to save him. Let people decided what marriage means to them.

6. Even ignoring the blatant homophobia
apparent in your post, what on earth has that to do with women marrying one another? or men who've been faithful to one another for 50 years?

:mad:

9. Fallacies, one at a time:
"Maybe the rest of the nation would be a bit more accepting of homosexuals' desires if they, as a community, admitted the well-known fact that the rapid spread of AIDS was basically from anal sex with multiple partners."

1. You suggest that anti gay attitudes stem from the spread of AIDS - this ignores the fact that anti gay attitudes predate AIDS, and in fact were worse in the days before AIDS.

2. If people are troubled by homosexuals having multiples sex partners, they should by all means encourage lasting monogamous relationships codified by law - wyhich is to say, marriages.

3. In Africa AIDS is more widespread, and predominantly heterosexually so. I suggest you learn about epidemiology.

4. What does anal sex or AIDS have to do with homosexual women?

10. So you are interested in anal sex.

11. Recordhound, having multiple sex partners,
rather a person is homosexual, bisexual or hetersexual is how AIDS is usually spread. It sounds like you are homophobic and judgemental on others life style if it's not your choice of lifestyle. ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN?
RE-ELECT A DEMOCRAT IN 2004!!!!

12. When the funddies wake up they will realize that at least 30% of the pop
is homosexual. And it makes genetic sense:
1/3 X +1/3 Y + 1/3 XY = total humans.
