Hey everyone, I live in N.J. and in case you haven't already heard the HORRIBLE news...they just legalized gay marriage here. Marriage is not a right, it is a privilege...something that two people of the same sex do NOT deserve!

What joyful news!
There may be hope for New Jersey yet.
(I bet if you looked up at the clouds, you'd see the angels partying!)
(Just kidding! There ain't no such thing as angels!)

Hey everyone, I live in Georgia and in case you haven't already heard the HORRIBLE news...they just legalized interracial marriage here. Marriage is not a right, it is a privilege...something that two people of different races do NOT deserve!

Hey everyone, I live in Germany and in case you haven't already heard the WONDERFUL news...they just illegalized being Jewish here. Being a Jew is not a right, it is a privilege...something that Jew people of that religion do NOT deserve!

But two entirely unpleasant people of opposite sexes totally deserve it?
Does the above sound weird to you? It does to me. Once we start legislating if consenting adults - regardless of sexuality, personality, background wev - can or cannot get married we slide into fundie territory.
You don't have the monopoly on morals, Jeremy. Marriage is a choice not a privilege.
"... they just legalized gay marriage ..."
NO THEY DIDN'T. NJ legalized domestic partnerships/civil unions in 2006. In February 2007, the state's attorney general issued a memo indicating that New Jersey will recognize same-sex marriages that occur in other states where they are legal.
Jeremy Oestreicher should be embarrassed that someone living hundreds of miles away is more knowledgeable about what's going on in his own state than he is.

Funny, I thought both his posts were very American and revealed the bigoted viewpoints.
Yeah, I looked it up and this is old meme. I'm not as up to date as I thought I was lol
Still, I hope Jeremy is crying 'til this day. :D
Marriage is not a right...
No, in fact it is a right.
Thanks for playing, cunt.
"Hey everyone, I live in N.J. and in case you haven't already heard the HORRIBLE news...they just legalized gay marriage here."
Yay! Good for the gays! Congratulations guys.
"Marriage is not a right, it is a privilege...something that two people of the same sex do NOT deserve! "
It should be a private civil matter which the government should stay the fuck out of as it doesn't concern them. People like you need to take that to heart too.
Marriage IS a right, you miserable scumbag. And just why doesn't a homosexual couple deserve it? Because it's "against God's law?" Because it's "disgusting?" Because it "undermines the sanctity of marriage?"
We're not a theocracy, nobody cares about what you find disgusting, and the current rate of divorce among heterosexuals as well as the crazy short-lived weddings of celebrities have done far more to undermine marriages. Get a grip.
Good for N.J. Only one thing, I'm sort of iffy about calling gay marriage "marriage". Call it something different then I'm happy (Gay Union?). Give them identical rights and recognition as those given to marriage, just use a different name.
Not sure why I feel like that... probably I still have that romantic view of a marriage between a man and a woman.
I hope I don't get flamed here...

The USA is the constitution.
I define patriotism in terms of "you support and defend the constitution and it's amendments.
Standard American bigots ARE unpatriotic.
Hooray for New Jersey. First they gave us Bruce Springsteen, now this. NJ rocks!
Oh, and who are you to say gays don't deserve the "privelege" of marriage? Mind your own business, bud.
I heard next to no whining even back in '06 when it first went down. There was even less whining back in Oct. 2013 when our corpulent governor was wise enough not to bother fighting it.
Despite the bennies, sometimes I love my state.
Ooh, that immediately nullifies your parents' marriage. Congratulations, you're a bastard.
That was snark. This is true: you're a moron if you think that will affect you in any way. And you're an evil little turd if you know it won't affect you but you're against it because you think you are so special. Didn't your kindergarten teacher tell you that you should share?
GREAT news! (Yeah yeah, it's 10 or 12 years old, but still.)
Marriage is a right in that all adult consenting couples, regardless of gender "constellation" have equal right to get married.
What you can't do is forcing someone else to get married to you, so in that way, marriage is not a right.
What do you have to do to DESERVE to get married, if it's a privilege? Be together for ten years, so you KNOW you fit together? Learn some secret handshake? Produce a fine boy and a cute girl? Pay the church? Learn to dance minuet?
