Re: no same sex marriage in Maine
Gay marriage is a slippery slope issue DESPITE what the liberals say. I know they like to call that a fallacy BUT in reality a fallacy is just an inconvenient truth not accepted in PC society.

Re: no same sex marriage in Maine
Give it some time, I'm quite sure gay marriage will be legal in our lifetime. Opposition is weakening, support is growing, it's only a matter of time. Only 53% voted against gay marriage in Maine, that number would have been astronomically higher even just 10 years ago.

marriage is a privilege with defined qualifications. thats why you have to apply for a license, to see that you qualify. as the answer is not always 'yes', its not a right.

Re: no same sex marriage in Maine
The percentage opposing same sex marriage here in Virginia was pretty similar, if I recall correctly. I think it was something around 55-58% voting to keep gay marriage banned back in '06 and I wouldn't be shocked if that number would be a few percentage points lower if it was voted on today.

Re: no same sex marriage in Maine
some aspects vary by state (age, blood relations) but one man and one woman is the main one.

Your assumption is as good as mine hence the fallacy idea is out the window. The only reason why its called a fallacy is because its not provable but I guarantee you if gay marriage was legalized some asshole is going to bitch about not being able to marry his dog... Can I prove it? Nope but it will happen and thats unavoidable. Lets not forget the slippery slope sets precedent which is and can be used as a tool. Fuck the whole civil rights movement is one giant example of the slippery slope. |

Re: no same sex marriage in Maine
exactly which makes this all the more surprising.
