USSC to hear cases on gay marriage.

[Fau Teixeira]

What a couple queers want to do with each other in private isn't my business.

Also on a separate note, this type of derogatory language is not acceptable. I know you like to push buttons, a subtle dig here and a off-color comment there, and then toss in little bigoted digs, and dog whistles every once in a while. Then you feign surprise when your'e called out on it.

So i'm telling you as clearly as possible that this will not be tolerated. If you want to have a discussion on a topic cut this shit out. Act like an adult and we can all communicate properly. Consider this a warning.

Are you really trying to test getting banned? I used to take up for you but it seems like you are purposely looking to join the few who have been sent to timeout.

Because I haven't done anything wrong, and yet you guys continue. You know what, fuck it. I'm not going to explain and try to justify every post I make to you people. God damn it, if you don't like what I have to say ignore it, get over it, or learn to live with it, because at this point. I don't give a shit. It seems to me that some of you guys are going to complain, bitch, and cry like little girls, regardless of what I say. So fuck it. If you want to fucking ban me so fucking bad, go ahead and fucking do it. And I'll just re register whenever I god damn well feel like it and continue where I left off.

For the record, it looks like the work QUEER is commonly used in the gay community, as seen below.

Political correctness in sexual orientation

People who participate in a sexual relationship between 'men with men' or 'woman with woman' are commonly called "homosexual" or "Queer" and the PC words being "gay", or "lesbian" is used. The word "queer" is commonly used within the "gay community" to refer to others that are engaging in similar behavior.

[Spider-Dan]

badger6, you do understand that words that are used within a community to describe members of that community may not be considered appropriate for outsiders to use?

...wait, never mind.  I was going to cite another example, but I doubt it would help.

Banned.

Don't fuck with my mods.

I agree.  This may be a sensitive subject so please don't be offended.  I hear my African American students call each other the "N" word all the time.  However, if a non African American person were to refer to them as that, they would get riled very easily (a couple have told me so).  In my class, I don't allow that word to be used, period. 

As an African American, do you feel the same way and have you personally ever used that term with other African Americans?

...And the peasants rejoiced...

I don't rejoice over someone being banned.  This really disappoints me.  Badger was a good poster and generated a lot of discussion.  However, he was far too high strung and always had to be right.  He would constantly attack people who had different opinions.  God forbid someone should prove him wrong. 

[Buddhagirl]

Banned.

[Cathal]

Yes, please elaborate.

I wouldn't say that I'm anti gay marriage. What a couple queers want to do with each other in private isn't my business. I'm kind of anti-marriage all together. I just don't get the big deal. If two people want to live together and be committed, do it. What does the marriage part have to do with it ? Why the big fuss over nothing ?

Tax deductions. :x

[Landshark]

Tax deductions. :x

And adding each other onto their work benefits.  Many large corporations now have the "domestic partnership" option for homosexual couples.  However, in order to stay within federal guidelines of gender equality, they have to allow it for heterosexual couples as well.

[masterfins]

Tax deductions. :x

And there are all kinds of legal, medical, and inheritance issues involved also.  As an example the other week on the tv show the Good Wife, a wife doesn't have to testify against her husband, but a gay partner would be required to testify.

Then there is always let gay people get married and have to suffer through divorce like the rest of the population.   

[bsmooth]

There should be no boon to getting married over being single, other than the enjoyment of spending your life with someone who makes you happy.
As a single person I hate the tax deductions married couple get over single people.

[bsmooth]

Which clause are you refering to?  - full faith and credit, supremecy, 10th amendment, equal protection.  Lots of clauses have been discussed in this thread.

FF&C. I am not sure though based on the public policy exception the SCOTUS has crafted seperate from what the Constitution says.

I think Spider covered it.  CCW permit gives you permission to do something very specific in one state, not unlike a fishing permit.  A birth certficate or marriage licenses defines who you are.
