  1. They can have a union, just call it something other than marriage. All my life gay people have been saying how different they are, now they want to take something of our culture and refashion it. It's not acceptable.

  2. Why is a marriage one man and one woman? Why is a banana a slender curved yellow fruit and not a spherical piece of green fruit? Why is a pencil a piece of carbon wrapped in wood instead of an aerosol can that sprayspaint. Ireconcilable differences.
    I think you're confusing the Greeks for Romans. Even then there was a practice of bored 1% elites engaging in homosexuality while the regular normal people slaved away raising children in the hope the kids would provide for them in old age.

  3. Look just use another word or concept for you unions. Stop subverting a part of our culture for your own agenda. There is so much objection to what you want.
    Ok so I looked up what you claim and of course it was early pagans and only the upper class who you can find had gay relationships. Roman law at the time still defined matrimony as one man and one woman. And the Christian emperors who were the most successful Romans banned gay unions and executed them. You can't cut and choose lady.

  4. Marriage is more than a contract between two people. It is a contract between two people, God and society that declares these people share a bond at the exclusion of all others. Have you ever actually listened to marriage vows? They are pledges, not just words.
    The contract in law arose in the 19th century to protect women divorced and left penniless. Religion was involved since time immemorial
    And the only mumbojumbo I see is your comment, written like a cosseted clueless professor in a library

  5. No you're wrong. Legal contracts came about in marriage as a consequence of modern circumstances. Before that, it was a purely religious and social compact.

  6. Cultures with same sex couples in the past were invariably bored elites who rose and died without contributing to their cultures legacy while the regular people in the fields married and raised children and passed on the culture to the next generation and to history.
    All you say on contracts is just blah blah blah.

  7. Perhaps you should watch the video on Youtube: Demographic Winter. Be advised, it requires a long attention span and the ability to avoid the noise created by groups such as anti-abortion activists who have propagated the documentary for their own ends.
    And no 'they' aren't lesser humans they just want something that they can't have. Theres a lot on Earth that we want that we cannot have.

    That's life.

  8. Well no you are wrong. The homosexual Romans, for example, were pagan elites whose entire families and even their names died out because they failed to propagate. They were replaced by Christians with healthy genes and attitute to marriage and progeny that revived the empire and allowed to prosper hundreds of years more than it did.
    I don't think I've used a single religious example here except saying "Marriage is religious" and the reference above. What religous nonsense, quote me back?

  9. Seems you know more about genetic Middle Eastern culture than your own. Since you're using the Eureka flag are you of Irish or English descent. Do you know anything about Marriage before the 19th century? Concepts of dowry only existed in Western Europe as a form of inheritance, and only among the upper classes. It was not payment for marriage (LOL). Law entered marriage in 19thCentury to prevent a growing problem of destitute women left penniless after divorce by the new industrialists.

  10. Please define the word secular. It does not mean atheist. What does separation of church and state mean to you? It's actually to do with priests not being judges and politicians not telling churches how to run their affairs. Being secular does not mean being of no religion. That is atheism, which has not had a foothold in our society until the last 30-40 years, where as secular government (usually of religious men) has existed for hundreds of years, since the Magna Carta at least. Make sense 2u?

  11. Damn. And so many of them are reproductions from 1st/original sources. Eg The Gallic War written by Caesar ~120 BC. Was Caesar a revisionist of his own actions? Maybe I should throw them all away and be told what to think by wikipedia and 34 lb heroes on the internet.

  12. I totally agree with you that there should be no connection between govt and marriage. As a libertarian, I don't really believe in public govt run schooling either. But if there was a govt run school that said "no Djiboutians allowed" I would fight to get Djiboutians equal rights before I tried to dismantle the public school system as a whole. I feel the same way about gay marriage.

  13. I'll have to try find this. I didn't bookmark it when I found this information. And yes some family names were recorded. Obviously all specifically elite Roman families/family names pre-Constantine's era and the new direction towards Christianity in the Empire.
