Something I read the other day reminded me of an extended "discussion" we had on the list early last year about Gay Marriage. I decided to write about it in my blog. I mentioned the InterNetworkers list in my posting and included a link to the thread in the archives. I also did a bit of unattributed quoting from one of the messages.
Just thought the list might want to know I'm talking about it.

I guess I didn't get the liberal conspiracy note when I moved out here and decided to reside in Wake Forest instead of the left-wing ideologue containment area known as Chapel Hill.

The article you linked too makes no sense, and I don't understand how libertarian ideals (which to me has been defined as small government/social liberal) would be to prevent a 'marriage' between any two individuals.

Personally I like the atwoodkansas.com thing that I read earlier in the week (was surprised it wasn't discussed at all). They've since changed the page (after their hometown web-master wrote a heartfelt 'disavowing' of his home town on the recent Kansas 'marriage' amendment vote.

Mirror of the Atwood, KS home page: http://www.ljworld.com/specials/atwoodkansas.html

News Article about it from my home town: http://www.ljworld.com/section/citynews/story/201783 (by the way, Lawrence, KS could be called the Chapel Hill of KS)

Personally I like the other passages in the bible that are in the same chapter as the one the others use to say god was against it.

Personally I could care less what other people want to do at their home, or with someone else who wants to do it with them. Not quite sure where all the hate is coming from but I've been told over the years that before I was born there were people waving the bible around saying similar passages said that people with different skin color than mine shouldn't be able to vote either.

I think men & women have done enough to destroy marriage that if two men or two women want to do something with it they're not going to hurt it anymore. When someone goes 'holy cow, you've been married for 15 years? that's a long time these days' and the most common form of divorce I've run into with people I know wasn't because a gay person caused them to breakup, usually it is selfishness, or adultery or some other man/woman heterosexual thing.
