Seriously, WTF????
That is a crap argument.
I agree. I have heard some lame cop-outs before, but this has to be the worst I have heard so far

Adrian. The question was simple and had nothing to do with government. You voted "I oppose it", but in your post you argue that you support it.

In this case, you would vote "I oppose it"

You all know damn well ol' Dotard was going to show up in here voting 'against' and joining IB in some sort of baseless diatribe against homofags.
Guess again. I find myself unable to vote. If the poll would have been "Are you Pro-Life or Pro-Abortion?", if you are a pro-choicer "Pro-Abortionist" is a bit misleading. It is the CHOICE you are pro for, not the abortions themselves.
I thinks if a couple of homos wished to put on paper their 'union' or partnership then the state should be bound to reconize it as a basis for shared insurance, death benifits etc. etc. If this is possible, why do gays place so much importance on having it reconized as a traditional 'marriage'?
It is of my opinion the push for 'marriage' is an attempt to normalize an abnormality.
Then on this poll you would vote "I oppose it"
