Houston TX voted today for Same Sex benefits

Well this issue has seem to be swepped under the rug here. Not sure if the Media has mentioned this anywhere else but I find it rather odd why they haven't made much of an issue about it here.

The way it's set up you have to vote against the issue if you want Same Sex benefits to be passed and vice versa

Well I'm not a registered voter in houston but I can't see why anyone would care enough to see that same sex benefits not be extended?

All Religous views aside shouldn't we allow each person to make this choice for themselves?

The problem generally arises when you say Religious views aside. Other than that, I'm not gonna take a stance on this one, I'm too involved defending my abortion/death penalty views

I do not believe that the government should be involved in any of this. I do not agree with benefits being given to married couples, but since it will always be like this...I do agree that a same sex partnership/marriage should have equal benefits.

LOL....Yeah thats an interesting thread.

I advocate same sex marriages for one reason:

When the two homosexuals stand opposite one another with affection dripping from their pores and love emitting from their armpits, the minister, JP, etc could take this opportunity to gut them both and turn the whole thing into a funeral.

That way, you kill two birds (Cockatoos, in this case) with one sharp blade.

Here those benefits were granted 6 years ago I think and it was something normal in a modern society. I personally dont give a shit if they get the same rights as I have.....

 

[TxCollegeguy]

well the news people have been saying it's going to be a tight race. I can't see why anyone would care. They should be protected equally like the rest of us straight people

 

[the nature boy]

no shit. I think most people have enough shit to worry about than some gay people that want the same rights as married people. who cares? live and let live.

Did you realize voting YES meant you did not support it and voting NO meant you did support it? I don't have a problem with it passing, but they should have made the ballot much clearer.

Yeah it sounds messed up
