Republicans Advocate Same-Sex Marriage Rights

Quoted Text
A group of current and former Republican lawmakers, including two members of Congress,
will file a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that same-sex couples have the right to marry in one
of two cases on the issue that the Supreme Court will hear next month.
The court filing, which was first reported late Monday by The New York Times, has been signed
by Republican Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Richard Hanna of New York. Other
signatories include former Rep. Deborah Pryce of Ohio, former National Security Adviser Stephen
J. Hadley and former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.,
who has been a GOP presidential candidate, has also signed the filing. As of Monday night,
there were 75 individuals onboard, the Times reported.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

who cares...it's as if the plebs are just begging for marriage validation from the government, gay or not....the only reason
for the government sanctioned contract is for the SS/healthcare benefits....make it individual and remove it from the
hands of the government match makers.

IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS

Too bad marriage isn't a right or I might have cared.

What is it?  A privilege granted by government?  

Marriage is a natural right, you can freely associate with whomever you wish, BUT...the privileges of marriage granted by the state are entitlements.

funny....but back in the hippie days....the so called 'flower children' were marrying themselves out in the woods somewhere, where they later celebrated naked with a joint and some LSD!!!

those same nut case left over hippies are running the corrupt government today. guess they forgot that they didn't need some government official to 'join two people in marriage'!!
