Poll: Majority of Americans Oppose Gay Marriage

[sid348]

I think that the wording of some of those propositions and amendments are too confusing.  People without all that jargon savvy don't know which way to vote to get what they want.  The word "marriage" and "gay" seems to be even more upsetting for people.  Calling it a "common ground"?  Might work.

While I don't agree with your points, I appreciate you actually putting some thought into your post. Always expected from you.

I just don't see how traditional marriage has anything positive left. It's been dismantled and spit on by heterosexual couples for years. It's gotten to the point that people don't even think anything of a divorce. Like Tu_Holmes said, women are just churning through marriages like they're nothing. That's what we're trying to protect? People that only see marriage as a means for financial gain, because that's how most women seem to view it these days.

50% divorce rate leads me to believe that everything that marriage stands for has long been cast to the wayside.

If there's nothing positive about it, why are homosexuals blubbeirng about it, especially when marriage amendments get passed in certain states?

The divorce rate is due to the old "no-fault" divorce mentality, combined with a general lack of "stick-to-it"-iveness about marriage.
