(This was in my e-mail inbox this evening.)

Who ever wrote this has a real insight on where all this debate is
going......


Subject: Confusion in San Francisco
( A scene at City Hall in San Francisco )

"Next."

"Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."

"Names?"

"Tim and Jim Jones."

"Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance."

"Yes, we're brothers."

"Brothers? You can't get married."

"Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?"

"Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!"

"Incest?" No, we are not gay."

"Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?"

"For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other. Besides,
we don't have any other prospects."

"But we're! issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've
been denied equal protection under the law. If you are not gay, you can
get married to a woman."

"Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have.
But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman. I want to
marry Jim."

"And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against us just
because we are not gay?"

"All right, all right. I'll give you your license. Next."

"Hi. We are here to get married."

"Names?"

"John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."

"Who wants to marry whom?"

"We all want to marry each other."

"But there are four of you!"

"That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane
loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June
and me.

All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express our
sexual preferences in a marital relationship."

"But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples."

"So you're discriminating against bisexuals!"

"No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's
just for couples."

"Since when are you standing on tradition?"

"Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."

"Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more
the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution
guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us a marriage license!"

"All right, all right. Next."

"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."

"In what names?"

"David Deets."

"And the other man?"

"That's all. I want to marry myself."

"Marry yourself? What do you mean?"

"Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry
the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return."

"That does it! I quit!! You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"

Funny..but true...you Americans and your laws ...makes me....

[Rayder]

I'll tell ya though, it NOT us Americans, it's THEM, the government, who just so happen to be running (or ruining, however you want to look at it) our American lives.

Common sense has been out-the-window for a very long time when it comes to the governing body in the U.S. The government is way beyond currupt and there ain't a dang thing "We The People" can really do about it.

I know what I think, but that means NOTHING to our government. I'm not a millionaire business owner, so nothing I say or feel about various issues matters to "them". Unless, of course, it breaks one of their "laws", then it's supposed to be that I must, "Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me......"

But the government is allowed to lie about ANYTHING they want? ...but I digress....

Gays getting married? Well.......I'd be banned from the forum (or something) for stating what I think about those people and their "rights".

Although the post is funny, it is also sad and sick if you think about it and goes to show just how far gone the U.S. government is getting to be.

I usually avoid posts on this subject just because it bothers me so much to even think about it. So I'll just shut up now to avoid any possible repercussions.

like i've said.... the it isn't the simply the word "marriage" that has to be redefined.... the entire system we live in needs an overhaul if things are going to be straightened out.. ... you allow one thing.... and it won't work all the others.... you can to make major changes to it all.... however.. gays/bi... whatever have the same rights.... i have zero tolerance for discrimination.... (btw.... standing behind a bible as your reasoning against it only makes it worse.... and conflicting.... as you and the book won't agree)

[bird chest]

I am against gay marriage but I am not in favor of this argument. Gay marriage is pushing it in our society so anything beyond that is...

Why the heck are you against gay marriage? Why shouldnt thos people be allowed to? Marriege is about 2 people in love. I cannot understand why it should not be posible. Who are you hurting with to marry with some one from same gender?

He wants them to have a civil union, not marriage. Technically they are asking for more rights than other people. A gay guy can marry a woman just as legally as a straight man
But seriously, he's pro civil union, anti-gay marriage

lol thats funny
