Really? You do realize that they have state elections on the same ballot as federal? And if the STATE wants to pass a law banning gay marriage they can let the population of the state vote on that? Clueless stupid fuck.Originally posted by GatorB
UM No you don't vote on that your state legislator does. marriage is a STATES issue. Anyone that wants teh FEDERAL govermnet to deal with marriage is anti-American. Does the FEDERAL governent do ANYTHING well?Comment

MISSISSIPPI
Proposed Amendment: "Marriage may take place and may be valid under the laws of this state only between a man and a woman. A marriage in another state or foreign jurisdiction between persons of the same gender, regardless of when the marriage took place, may not be recognized in this state and is void and unenforceable under the laws of this state."

If Jenna Jameson and Briana Banks wanted to get married it would be a non-issue. Not only would the vote pass by a landslide, you'd have every man in California lined up half way across the state to pay 39.99 to watch the honeymoon. ;-}Originally posted by Afrekete

And if you've never been to the South, you have no idea how it really is. In California a normal suburb white person might see 1-2 black people a week. In Mississippi, you see about 50% or more. Of course there will be more conflict.Originally posted by detoxed

DiscussA legal denial of rights or benefits afforded to others, directly contradicts the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution which provides for equal protection and substantive due process under the law, meaning that rights conferred to one person cannot be denied to another.

Well I voted "no" against banning gay marriages. The LAST thing we need is MORE rules from the government telling people how to live.
Plus I think the only reason it was ever an issue to begin with this time around was another Bush decoy to get people bitching about that instead of looking at the mess he made after 911.Comment

no you said it had the same laws as many other states.. that only shows how many other stats are as backward a mississippi..Originally posted by detoxed
I know your point, but its ignorant, like I explained.

people have the right to vote how they wish, and id never hold it against anyone for voting their beliefs.
its just sad that in this day & age people are still trying to base laws and constitutional ammendments on personal beliefs and religion, rather than logic & equal rights in their purest form.the revolution is coming.Comment

I guess I'm just not arrogant enough to think I should control what others do with their life.
I could care less if Bob/Don get married. WTF does it matter to me....
And BTW, I live in Mississippi. We aren't all backward rednecks.
But there are more than enough here I will admit.Last edited by UnclePecker; 11-02-2004, 12:54 PM.Comment

In most of the southern states, various laws were passed making it illegal for members of different races to marry; these were known as miscegenation laws, like the South African Immorality Act. Interracial marriage was prohibited by state laws, the constitutonality of which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in "Pace v. Alabama" (1883). That decision was not overturned until the United States Supreme Court ruled in "Loving v. Virginia" (1967). At that time, 16 states still had laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
While miscegenation laws were ruled unconstitutional in the United States by the Supreme Court in 1967, those laws were not completely repealed in individual states until November 2000 when Alabama became the last state to repeal its law.
"In November 2000, after a statewide vote in a special election, Alabama became the last state to overturn a law that was an ugly reminder of America's past, a ban on interracial marriage. The one-time home of George Wallace and Martin Luther King Jr. had held onto the provision for 33 years after the Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional. Yet as the election revealed -- 40 percent of Alabamans voted to keep the ban -- many people still see the necessity for a law that prohibits blacks and whites from mixing blood."I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

You're likely a product of your environment/society where you've been conditioned to think the way you do. You might not be religious, but the other 99% of people around you might be, and their beliefs surround you every day.Originally posted by detoxed
