[quote="AChimp"][quote]Now, do you really want this to happen? Then bring a vote to your state. My personal, nice-guy advice is that you drop the word marriage if you want to get it passed.

Aren't we presumptious? 
Canada is already getting ready to allow gay people to be MARRIED. No one gets any say in the matter because the Supreme Court already decided it's unconstitutional to prevent it.

Notice, that I have not taken a PERSONAL stance on this yet.

That's right, you haven't. You've only been arguing dictionary definitions and why they shouldn't be changed.
So, please, just state it clearly in one post, because all the air is thin this far north: Why shouldn't it be called "marriage" for two gay people?

A) I don't believe courts should decide what people should vote on
B) I believe that in most cases, large, society changing decisions should be voted on by the public
C) I already posted a wonderful op/ed by Barr at the beginning of the debate. At that time, I wasn't sure where I stood because frankly, I didn't care. I don't think it is my business to tell anyone what to if it doesn't hurt me, and doesn't f' with society too much. Heck, even the people I know who are passionate about this subject are split evenly,...and they are all gay! Upon further contemplation, I think I will side with the Op/Ed. After all, there hasn't been anything said here on either side all that impressive here. I only take a solid position out of respect to your request.
