One of the biggest slanders the left wing makes against people who are against gay marriage is that we are homophobic. That couldn't be further from the truth. I don't care what two people do in their own bedroom as long as the door is locked and the shades are pulled down and the radio is turned up really loud. What I object to is the word "marriage." First gay people took the word "gay," which used to mean happy and now can't be used by anyone to mean that and now they want to do the same thing to the word "marriage." For some reason gay people seem to want to steal all of our vocabulary. That's why I have a suggestion. Instead of calling it "gay marriage" why not call it "gay mariage" spelled and pronounced the way French people spell and pronounce it (like mah-ree-azh but with a funny r). This way everyone would instantly know, at least in English-speaking countries, that gays were talking about gay marriage and there would be no chance of confusion with the normal kind. In France and some parts of Canada, the word would sound exactly the same but it seems to me that French and French-Canadian people wouldn't care as much so I don't think it would be a problem. I think gay people might even prefer saying "mariage," which actually sounds gayer anyway. I think this is a solution that would make everybody happy (but not gay!).

I would like to comment about your ease about gay marriage. It's easy for someone to be greedy when he/she is allowed a privlage. If you were told you couldn't marry and it's not about marriage anyways, that is a simple celebration, it's about equality! And told your lifestyle was less than that of a hetrosexual, I would like to ask you, how you decide that? I don't think your homaphobic, I just think your ignorant. And we took over the word gay, what's that about? Why can't people use the word gay and mean happy? It's not as if you use the word you will tern gay. Again, another point of your ignorance. I'm very happy and gay! I feel like the civil rights movement, we pride ourselves as a free country and home of the free, yet do we really? I'm not asking you to like gay people, or even be around them, just the chance to be treated equal!
What do you mean by normal kind of marriage? The 15 second episode with Brittany Spears, that we so recognize as a marriage. (What a joke) If you don't care what two people do in their bedrooms, why is this an issue?
I agree. Also, the word "sex" should be preserved only for a man and a woman. So it should be changed if it is between man and man. any ideas?

Perhaps the French term bangage would be suitable?
Well what if it is between a man and a female prostitute? Is that sex any different with his had? In the bible it says Judge yet not lest ye be judged. Why don't everyone mind there own business. Also it is a sad day in America when illegal imigrants have more rights than homosexual Americans who were born and raised here. Premarital sex is premarital sex.
I have reclaimed the word "gay" to mean "happy" and also "heterosexual". My husband and I believe that if we can teach our kids to redefine "gay", they will not be lured into homosexualty by thinking it will be a happy thing. When my husband and I make whoopie, we tell our children we are "gaying in the bedroom" to help make this clear.

Yes, we gays are trying to steal all the words in of the straight person vocabulary. Four down, only 616,496 left to go! Seriously, you can't share one more?
There is no such thing as gay mariage!!!words like fag queer or homo are wrong ,why because gay people do not like these lables. If your a christian culteral sensitivity is not even talked about,what allso is not talked about is attackes on chirstins being a hate crime.mariage is religious and more than a word, it is a 5000 year old sacred tradition.
I can not believe any of this is even happening.
So, you're arguing that gays took the word "gay" in a global gay conspiracy to deprive "normal" people from using it . . . and now they're after the word "marriage"?
You really do a disservice to the defense of marriage ideology by posting something this half-assed.
Please apply better reasoning next time. You're making the rest of us (those of us who are slightly-right-of-center) look like morons.
With a small shop in a Manhattan loft, the Coach Wallets
design philosophy began with twelve simple bags. This consistency is important to the Coach Wristlet
Company. When holding a Coach Gallery

Quite useful material, much thanks for this article.
Not judging but gay marriage is a made up word there's no mention of the word in the bible. Just my thought.
