If Britney Spears can have a one day marriage, why can't homosexuals have a lifetime marriage?

Question

Conservatives are always wagging their fingers at us liberals about "moral values."

One of the things they constantly talk about is the sanctity of marriage. However, I don't see them stopping Britney Spears or any of those immoral one day marriages. And then they won't let homosexuals marry for the rest of their life.

Sick, huh?

What is with you conservatives?

I don't care what Bill Clinton thinks!

Answer 1

because these society is controlled by homophobic men whose "manliness" is threatened by homosexuality.
they're just p ussies, that's all =)

Answer 2

Ah, you forget..the Straights treasure FAMILY VALUES...and Britney certainly exhibited a high regard for these values, just as many 50% + value them...The straight men are often busy screwing around with everyone BUT their wives, leave their children and run off with the next woman they can find, escape paying child support and ignore their duties as if they didn't exist. They beat their wives and children, molest them, and call this FAMILY VALUES.
Sure enough, genetically impair people will jump up and say, what's next ...marrying cows? What one has to do with the other is beyond me, but those who are so quick to scream this nonsense are obviously obsessed with getting it on with a cow or other animal. I have never thought about having sex with an animal, but many straight guys seem to think a lot about it, don't they?
IF Straights have set an example of what marriage is all about, why in the world would I want anything to do with it? IT isn't only straight men who scream FAMILY VALUES, women who are buried in their church and make excuses for their men beating on them scream just as loudly..I suppose they do NOT want others (Gays) having a better life than they do...goes against everything they have been taught by outrageous religious tenants that cannot stand the scrutiny of logic. Go figure.

Answer 3

Dahlia Lithwick said it best, in www.slate.com on 11/20/2003:

Here's what's really undermining the sacredness of modern marriage: soap operas, wedding planning, longer work days, cuter secretaries, fights over money, reality TV, low-rise pants, mothers-in-law, boredom, Victoria's Secret catalogs, going to bed mad, the billable hour, that stubborn 7 pounds, the Wiggles, Internet chat rooms, and selfishness. In fact we should start amending the Constitution to deal with the Wiggles immediately.

(she's writing the week that Massachussets declared gay unions were legal): Here's why marriage will likely survive this week's crushing decision out of Massachusetts: Because despite all the horrors of Section 4, above, human beings want and deserve a soul mate; someone to grow old with, someone who thinks our dopey entry in the New Yorker cartoon competition is hilarious, and someone to help carry the shopping bags. Gay couples have asked the state to explain why such privileges should be denied them and have yet to receive an answer that is credible.

The decision to make a marriage "sacred" does not belong to the state—if the state were in charge of mandating sacredness in matrimony, we'd have to pave over both Nevada and Jessica Simpson. We make marriage sacred by choosing to treat it that way, one couple at a time. We make marriage a joke by treating it like a two-week jungle safari. There is no evidence that gay couples are any more inclined toward that latter course than supermodels, rock stars, or that poor spineless bald man on Who Wants to Marry My Dad? There's good evidence that most of them will take the commitment very seriously, as do the rest of us. There will be more "sanctity" in marriage when we recognize that people of all orientations can make sacred choices. Good for Massachusetts for recognizing that truth.

Answer 4

But....Britney was married to a member of the opposite sex. We can't have all those gay types running around marrying each other - after all that's against the bible and praise Jesus, we have a good righteous, moral, God-fearing Christian in the White House to insure that all those horrible gay people will never get married or have rights. And shouldn't they have the right to be miserable just like anyone else who is married? It's a double-standard and as long as we have a fool like Bush in charge, it will continue.

Answer 5

Because marriage was designed to be sacred. Sure, the Britney incident is sick, but the intention of marriage has always been pure, the history on the other hand is as polluted as the entire debate on whether or not the concept should be shared with a group of people who wouldn't have such large numbers without the rich societies in place to support them.

I think there are a lot of private interests like homosexuals and others who just want revenge period, and institutions like the concept of marriage make convenient targets.

Answer 6

Conservatives are just as up set with the Hollywood marriages.We under stand that it is better to part than to abuse and that we often change over the years so divorce will be.Still we hold that there should be an ideal behind the institute of marriage.

Answer 7

Talk to Bill Clinton who came up with and signed the defense of marriage bill which defines marriage as one MAN and one Woman, ONLY..

Answer 10

They can. Nothing prevents a gay guy and a lesbian from marrying.
