Gays have no rights to marriage here is what your bible says folks.
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. (NKJ, Leviticus 18:22)
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. (NKJ, Leviticus 20:13 So their you go.Some things are just common sense.Gay marriages are against nature.Gays produce no children unless they adopt or by artificial means. You have no right to defile what God has designed for man.With that being said…Straight people have screwed up marriage…Gays should go for civil unions…Or something else…Folks the voting process is a majority rules process just like states that say its legal.
2000 and the majority got to vote on how the minority was allowed to define what marriage meant to them. Its a sick sad world when freedom for all means freedom for the majority to oppress not only physically, but emotionally, and intellectually the minority. If someone is against marriage equality, fine be against it. However to write such blatant and hateful things into a constitution…that is a stain on the paper that will never come out…even after soaking it in equality. For shame America your traditions are tarnished and your name is forever sullied. Learn from your history or be doomed to repeat it.
How dare people use the bible in such an ignorant way! They need to actually read the bible!! It says God created man EQUAL, God created man in his LIKENESS, and God loves EVERYONE!! Jesus had two fathers!! The Bible Belt needs to actually read the bible!! I was born this way!!
Ok, so they have a hangup on calling it "marriage" because of some bible thing…so what…why not at least allow civil unions or something? Marriage is more than just a religeous ceremony, it also has legal and tax ramifications, and at least THAT needs to be equal. If you don't want to call it "marriage" so be it, but at least let us have the same rights as any other committed, loving couple.
The world is retarded y wud u say the land of the free when I can't marry some one I love jus because we have the same thing between our legs where is the liberty and the justice America is a hypocrite country
Why they have to try and change everything… I don't go around saying heterosexual rights all day ….just happy who you are…not just gays for anyone. What's gonna be different when you can get married…just more divorce rates added anyways lol
You don't here of heterosexual rights because they already have rights. It is so sad we have people in this country that are really that dumb lol. And the reason why they are trying to change everything is because marriage licenses come with special governmental privileges. There are so many cases of people not being able to be in the hospital room of their dying partner's because the family refuse to allow them to enter. If the couple were married, the partner would be able to overthrow the family's "ruling." How would you feel if you couldn't be the bedside of the person you love? Don't talk shit if you haven't been in their situation dumb ass.
This needs to change…not just for Georgia, for all of America. Free country? Pfft.
This is not right…who are we to say that 2 men or 2 women want to get married can't, but yet a man and woman can. That's not right. Look we are not living in the Bible days it says God created Adam and Eve not Adam and John or Eve and Mary but it also says He don't judge.

You've gotta a sick sense of the word "cool".
I think the batteries are bygone. You have to check it. They should be change.
