The horror.
In Canada we have been using Parent 1 Parent 2 for ages as well as parent/guardian. I dunno what the big deal is here.
[QUOTE=Glaber;27281925]Yes. Should they be able to serve in the army? Sure, just don't make your comrades uncomfortable around you.[/QUOTE]
It sounds awfully like you're buying into the "gays have a slight sex obsession" thing.

That's what we do on nearly every form, too. However, the passport form was late to the party. Also, this really isn't a big deal unless you're one of those asinine bigots like Glaber.
I agree with this, makes it easier on same sex couples. And Fox News comments continue to prove how retarded they are.
[quote]You know, when you actually think about this...everyone has a MOTHER (female progenitor) and a FATHER (male progenitor). Two people of the same gender are biologically unable to procreate offspring. So, where's the problem listing 'MOTHER' and 'FATHER'?[/quote]
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;27283065]I copyrighted this argument you owe me royalties.[/QUOTE]
Did anyone pull the "let's just call them all 'guardian' and not deal with explaining whatsoever" argument yet?
'cuz that's what I'm not getting, why do they need any information on there beyond who you are and that you're the legal guardian of someone else or someone else's legal guardian? I mean, a kid could have 53 Great Uncle Berts and provided they managed to prove custodianship and get a passport, it doesn't fucking matter if you can identify which Bert is which.
I hardly think you'd write something as vague as 'Great Uncle Bert' on an official document.

Also this is retarded. It's like instead of saying he or she, you call them IT.[/QUOTE]
Hey, I dunno about you, but I want to be Pennywise.

The only reason I can percieve people worried about gays like that is that they seem to think gay people all dress like that guy from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and talk with extremely flamboyant ~[i]lithspsth[/i]~ whilst hitting on anything that moves, [i]especially[/i] in the middle of a warzone.
but those gay dudes rock
In a warzone it's probably better that you've got a gay guy with you. Then you know he'll be covering your ass.

NO! THEY SHOT CHARLIE! /girly grenade toss and rambo style shooting
I loved that comedian
cool factoid, carlos mencia stole that joke
[QUOTE=Glaber;27281925]Let me ask you this, How do you identify one in order to give them rights? Women, Blacks, and ethnicites are more easily identifiable. Arguing that Gays should be able to marry is like arguing that an adult should be able to marry a child, a man should be able to marry as many women as he wants (and vice versa), and that people who love animals should be able to marry animals, All because of Love.[/QUOTE]
I know this sounds stupid, but I actually though Glaber was smarter than this. So is so obviously a horrible argument it's not even funny.
Adults fucking kids=/=to consenting adults fucking

You have severly over estimated glaber.
How about just 'Parents:'?
Religious people getting upset over this makes me happy.
fuck this im gonna go kill myself, tell parent two i love them
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;27286205]I hope you can't breathe in 5 minutes.
No, really. You just compared being gay to fucking an animal. That's so childish it rocks my mind. How the fuck can you be so immature? Gay people can't get married for what reason? Because "love" isn't good enough? You compared it to fucking a kid. Do you know how fucking wrong that is? Two consenting gay adults are NOTHING like a pedofile and a kid he's molesting. You're so fucking brain dead.[/QUOTE]
Don't have to get all Mr. Meanypantaloons over it.
Heheee! Glaber got banned.
thing that bothers me that people always go "oh but the gay people make me uncomfortable". maybe you make them uncomfortable too? get over it
What the USA is trying to say: "We're so accepting of various peoples and family system. Aren't we cool. Prop 8, you say? What's that?"
What it comes off as: "Time to decide the more important parent!"
Why couldn't they just put "Father/Mother" and "Father/Mother"?

Uh...
" TH89 renamed the thread in In The News from “CNS News, Mrs.Obama wants to decide what kids eat.” to Michelle Obama endorses healthier school lunches"

Again, it's a small bureaucratic change that affects your life in no meaningful way whatsoever. This has nothing to do with who is the more important parent and any couple who decides to involve themselves in that argument probably have worse relationship problems afoot.
There really is nothing bad about this. You can still call your dad and your mom what they are respectively. It's two words on an application that many people in this country will probably never see anyway.
