Christie: If elected, will ban gay marriage in NJ

Well the Bible does state it should be Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, but hey, if that's what they want, that's between them and God. I won't judge, my pay grade isn't that high.

Another Christie running for New Jersey Governor? Jeez! Wasn't the first one bad enough?

friggin unbelievble

Boo hoo! Boo hoo!

Christie Accepts Civil  Unions and Would Ban Gay Marriage is what the headline should say.

Sorry, but I don't buy that separate but equal ain't equal enough. 

SMK, you  present this news as if every vestige of civil rights for gays would be trampled under Christie.

If the people of New Jersey want to make a homosexual union the legal equivalent of a heterosexual union, so be it. But they do get to vote on it.

And, seeing that civil unions already exist and are supported by Christie, where's the beef?

I mean this is the modern remake of "Much Ado About Nothing".

ROY YOU FOOL (loveable fool,  but fool):  read my "The Mask is Dropped"  Post:  I state I am NOT a supporter of gay marriage!   really angry here, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I remember. You are not at fault. The newspaper is. But, you didn't explain that Christie accepts civil unions.

They want to sell trouble.

I should have made that clearer.

Was only kidding when I said you were a fool,  but I never made a headline that said "Meanie evil Christie hates gays",  only that he WILL ban gay marriage.  I do not support gay marriage because I believe in the Paglia school of thought,  that civil unions are enough for gays and for straights as well.  Democracy ought to celebrate the differences, and not make all the same. Catholic gay activist  Andrew Sullivan has caused this gay marriage to spin out of control.  I have a cousin who is gay and our family embraces him as part of the wonderful mix of life,  NOT to be tolerated,  but to be celebrated.  I take the Jungian view on marriage as do you.  I am not pro or anti any group but celebrate the mix which pluralism gave rise to.  I am voting for Christie, ( as although I work much in Midtown East,  Manhattan,  I am a train ride out in New Jersey)and so is my gay cousin.   Many gays are backing Christie here.  

Thanks.

What activist groups do is set up taboos and enforce them by "othering" the flag-bearers of the opposition. This stifles free exchange of opinions because, if you speak up and out, you can't be accepted socially anymore.

That is what "galled" me about California. They have the same problem. The Mormons accept civil unions, but that is not good enough.

It is all right outta' Brooklyn. No, outta' Jung's The Undiscovered Self.

In a secular society, especially one where religions have been reduced to creeds, the power of the civil government becomes religious. So, if the government does not give you literal equality, a psychic itch appears that will only be scratched by the government giving you literal equality.

This is because  in the absence of connection to the source of the psyche within, the reason that creeds sub for religions, the embodiments without become the whole of the psyche, the same way incomplete men and women fall in love with each other.

So, if the psychic sun doesn't shine down from your emperor, then there is no psychic sunshine.

All from confusion of equality and congruence and especially a lack of  connection to the reality of psyche, Self and the Unconscious.

You have a singularly well-ordered mind,  sir, of the classical and academic stamp.  And I mentally salute you for it. smk

My theory, still under testing, is that if you keep your brains functioning well as you age, you will in fact be able to use them to their maximum.

Thanks.

When are you two getting married:)

When they legalize mentally gay marriage,  you ol' sly cowpoke.  grrrrr
