Damn it, you're too late, we already made that statistic.

Pat seems to be under the false impression that our current laws are based on "biblical principals".
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

Do you really need someone to answer that question for you? Why drawn any "line" at all, ever, regarding anything?

"Consent" is a far more interesting line.
Some subjects actually enjoy pain, and withhold information they might otherwise have divulged in order to be punished.

So it's ok for 2 girls ... and 2 guys ... and a girl and a guy ... but not for 2 girls and one guy or two guys and one girl
Where is the logic in that.
Why shouldn't they get the rights of a married couple.

It would create a lot of legal difficulties, but I wouldn't have a problem with such individuals entering into such a union, as long as all involved were required to consent. I doubt there is much demand for such a thing, in any event.
Relationships involving consenting adults are a far cry from bestiality and pedophilia, however.

Re: Gay marriage legalized in Maine
Pat Robertson is right, if a man wants to marry a pet he's known and loved for years he should damn well be allowed to in a free country!
Edit: Or woman.

Re: Gay marriage legalized in Maine
Well, Pat doesn't have to marry them. So what's he upset about? Divorce?

Re: Gay marriage legalized in Maine
I find the inclusion of bestiality into this debate to be both infuriating and depressing. Even in jest it is in extremely bad taste considering the pain involved in this issue.
It's not funny.

Demand is irrelevant. I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed.

There's relationships, then there's legal unions, and then there's sexual intercourse. Let's not lump all of those together unnecessarily.

Agreed.
I hoped the idea that "consent" in a legal sense was enough to make even a fool see that they were off-base. But when arguing with a fool…

What sickens me is that Bible considers the two equal sins.
I'm just sick and tired of seeing what is supposed to be the forerunner of the free world so ass backwards over some issues. I see statistics saying that over 50% of your population is against gay marriage and I try to figure out how people can remain so ignorant in this day and age.
If I take people like Pat Robertson seriously, it just depresses me that they even still exist.

I gay couple is not exempt from this. Hetero or homosexual are prone to the same problems. As times go by two people gay or straight may come to a point where they divorce. You can't tell me a gay couple even if not married won't leave their partner. This can go both ways, half of all heterosexual and homosexual can be divorced.
Their are no stats on gay couples that are married as of yet because these laws of legalizing gay marriage are new.
