May 16th, 2008 | Gay survey

One of the arguments about same-sex marriage is that it "threatens" traditional marriage. Do you agree?


When I say "please explain," I want you to explain to me in what way same-sex marriage actually threatens traditional marriage. Just that one point. Not a list of other reason why you do not approve.

I ask this because I don't understand how someone else's marriage can be a threat.

Sticking to the very narrow subject, Stu, I don't see how someone else's marriage could be a threat to mine. Or anyone's, for that matter.

If the United States had Universal Health Care, that would eliminate the discrimination that occurs with most employer-based health insurance. IMHO

It depends on what the definition of 'traditional' is . . .?  "consisting of or derived from tradition"   By breaking tradition, it threatens 'traditional' marriage.  The question of whether or not the tradition should be broken - is a seperate question.  Personally, I don't understand why people feel they need the Church and/or State to give them a seal-of-approval.    Can't we just allow for Civil Unions and give Civil Unions the same rights as Marriages - without redifining the traditional marriage?  Maybe?  Perhaps?

Since this is a really specific poll, I guess you need to change your vote to 'no.'

I don't see how gay marriage "threatens" straight marriage.  I oppose it for other reasons.

You did not answer the question. I didn't ask why you are opposed to same-sex marriage. I asked how you thought it was a threat to dual-sex marriage.

It's basically the answer for people who don't feel that the other options apply to them. A none of the, or all of the above.
