. . . and it's not as if it hasn't been redefined before.

At it's peak, having 700 wives and 300 concubines was "biblical."

Thanks! I would hope that all members here would offer the same respect to others.

Wait, wait. You're perfectly comfortable alleging a gay member on this forum died of AIDS (something that literally nobody else knows of, yet probably would) but you don't feel comfortable commenting on someone else's "private life" when simply asked who it is? Do you EVER substantiate any of your allegations? Jeez Larry. If you can't back it up don't say it in the first place.

None of our former regular members on this forum who are gay died of AIDS. I'm calling you out on it, prove me wrong.

I assume that your civil union is with a woman. Sounds like the definition of marriage to me.

I thought marriage was a religious function and that's what the entire dust up is all about?

That's what results from you thinking I suppose.

we're still discussing a state issued license conferring governmental benefits, right?

I would bet the farm that Larry does not know, but has made a presumption based on the ironclad fact that all gay guys die of AIDS.

I don't think that Jim is trapped in 1984, and am much more willing to presume that his representation is based on personal knowledge.
