For those of you on FB...

Could just be your "friend", Ronin. Two of my lesbian friends LOVED the PMag equality pick and felt the need to comment their approval. One saying it was "the best one yet" that she has seen. Maybe my gay friends are so understanding of my fight because I am so understanding of their fight. Then again... I just have plenty of gay friends who are gun-lovers. They either own and carry themselves or love going to the range with me. I haven't had a bad remark yet from any in the gay community regarding the PMag equality pic.

Down one friend already.

That's not a bad idea if it helps weed out unsupportive, closed-minded individuals.

and people wonder why the republican part is declining

I don't wonder. It's because dems have coined the phrase "civil rights" to every topic they are for. So now, if you don't agree with them, you're labeled a bigot. People are being conditioned to just accept everything. Since when do I have to like and agree with everything? Respect and tolerance are not the same.

i could care less about Same Sex unions.
I'm against Special Privileges for Same Sex Couples.
If they want to be equal then make everything for everybody. Not because they are the Same Sex. Sometimes they go overboard.
i hope that made sense??
i do like the Red backgrould but my photo of an 8" howitzer 13 cm from Cambodia looks a lot more intimidating..

I'm against Special Privileges for Same Sex Couples.

Many people are against "special privileges" for hetero couples and think same sex couple should get the SAME "special" privileges.

I say... let's don't make those privileges "special" any more.

Make ALL couples get civil unions if they want those privileges... and send "marriage" back to the church/chapel where so many people say it belongs. You kill two birds with one stone. Nobody gets special treatment that way... and for those so concerned with the biblical aspect of the term marriage... they can still have their religious ceremony with the blessing(s) of their god(s) and their friends and family. It is a win-win. Then we can move on to other important issues and put this issue behind us.

If civilians were on top with that image... I would like it a little more. However I don't see "civies" and government as equal. Government should always be below we the people!

Here are some thoughts on the whole issue- both the &quot;same sex&quot; and 2A issues... &quot;civil union, or matrimonial contract, as recognized by the state, whereas &quot;marriage&quot; is a religious term. So technically, yes, I&#39;m against someone stepping in and forcing those who&#39;s beliefs are contrary to accepting a definition that they do not agree with. I&#39;m all for same sex couples&#39; union being recognized by the state and given the same legal protection and rights.

So I have a question about this part. I have heard the marriage is a religious definition argument as a reason not to allow gay marriage. However, there is a multitude of religions out there, so saying that MY religion defines marriage as a hetero union subjugates all other religions and their beliefs. I am guessing there is probably at least one religion that gives the nod (pun intended) to gay marriage, so does that mean the religious definition argument is null and void? The sudden appearance of all the pink equal signs bugs me, because I am not sure why all these people care SO much about it. As I have stated before, I could not give two shits about gay marriage, but I am always up for a discussion.</p>
