Astonishing that anyone would
Astonishing that anyone would vote 'Yes' really. Even if you don't want to get married in the future, I think it's important everyone supports our equal rights, or we're just being treated like second class humans, which I certainly am not.

Who said yes?... and...why?
Who said yes?... and...why?
A true friend stabs you in the front.
Whoa
I can believe someone actually said yes. That is a shock to me. Surely a mistake was made or maybe my reality is falling apart... AGAIN!!!

I don't think I'd ever marry, but...
I do think all GLBT's should have the right to express their love in a legally binding contract. It's a human right, not a thing that can be voted on to take away or to grant. the whole issue is all the church's fault anyway. Just because religion believes love can only be expressed throught the marriage of a man and a woman, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to have rights associated w/ marriage and death of a partner or tax reductions etc.

Err...
It seems a bit misworded, though.
Bush doesn't want to pass a law banning gay marriage, but make it an actual Constitutional Amendment, which is a much bigger deal. There is already a federal law, in place, no need to do it twice.

Technically, the President do
Technically, the President doesn't pass laws, but rather confirms, vetoes, or ignores bills passed by Congress. But no, if such a bill ever passed Congress, I would hope Bush would veto it, and if he didn't, it would be struck down as unconstitutional, because it is. I hope against hope that an amendment to the constitution that explicitly defines marriage as between men and women will not be proposed and passed, because that would de facto invalidate all same-sex marriages and imply that they are illegal.
Umm...
We hope it gets struck down as unconstitutional. But not likelly...bush and his newly appointed majority supreme court justice will likely not vetoe it or rule it as nconstitutional.

sorry it's a bit long...
it's not a matter of bush passing a law against gay marriage, currently they're promoting an entire ammendment, which would require much more than a law... bush wouldn't have to pass it, like a bill, but rather every state (i believe it's every state) would have to ratify it, and before it even got to that point, it would have to pass through other things... so pretty much it's just a distractor issue so that the republicans can shift the focus. "sure, we're screwing the country but look! the gays! they're **gasp** loving each other!"
"freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"
wow
Who the FUCK would say yes. so, the question could be worded differently, but i think we all catch the drift right. It is a matter of the stupid church, and what ever happened to seperation of church and state? what happened to pursuit of happiness, or our liberties? stupid government shit.
I really did love life.
i just wasn't too good at it.

i don't think i've ever met an lgbtq or allied person who said yes. are you kidding?
Who's business is it?
Who's business is it anyway who marries who.There is such a thing of separation of church and sate,and obviously the republican party just can't seem to get their shit together so they pull out the "gay marriage card" whenever the going gets tough!I'm mean its not like the president is going to be the one getting married.The republicans just need to learn a new trick,because this one's getting old...fast!

stupid poll
don't want to offend people at oasismag, but why do you ask such a
question? can't I assume anymore that it is sort of common agreement here that homophobic policies and initiatives are bad??
I did not vote. my little protest against questioning the most basic anti-homophobic commitment (which I always sensed here).

Ur right, it's not his job...
It's the job of the supreme court justices, which sadly, a majority of, are now on Bush's side.
