I don't think either of those issues are dumb. Homosexual marriage has been on the ballot in, I believe, 11 states. Every state voted to deny it. It failed when put before the people. Homosexuals are maybe 1.2% of the population. Why should I be forced by those 1.2% to appease them? What have they done for me? Answer: Nothing. They don't enrich my life in any way. Why should I give up my belief in traditional marriage for 1.2% of the population? If they want a civil union with the same benefits as marriage, I'm all for it. But don't pollute the word marriage because your a snippy little homo that is trying to legitimize your life choice. You need to work that out for yourself, leave me out of it and don't ask me to change my beliefs to suit you. OK?
