Fiesta, I'm sure gay couples everywhere will be really torn up that you don't think their marriages are real. That's what really tears me up, day in and day out... what each particular redneck is thinking.

Nobody respects that institution? That is completely incorrect. You and many others don't. Those divorce rates are skewed by people being married and divorced several times.
There are plenty of us who recognize the deep meaning in a real marriage. I will never recognize one of these civil unions as a real marriage. It corrupts the definition.

The reason why people can't see how this could effect real marriages is because they are stuck in an employee mentality and can't see things from the perspective of an employer. If you could then you will see how this could effect many real marriages.
Before you start spouting off about this being law now and there is nothing that an employer can do except recognize these gay civil unions as anything other than as legitimate as a real marriage, please understand you are only deluding yourself. I for one as an employer decide how I spend my companies money, not some wacko judge in Asheville.
When I first heard about this my immediate reaction was to look at it from the two perspectives that make up the majority of who I am.
First from the Christian perspective. It was immediately dismissed. God defines the institutions that He creates, not some wacko judge. This is nothing more than a legal civil union. I see gays calling themselves married as no different than calling themselves purple dolphins. It is comical to me and doesn't change the fact they really are human and not purple dolphins, no matter how much they may jump up and down clamping their hands shouting "I really am a purple dolphin". In the same vain they will never be married, no matter what the government or the couples themselves try to refer to themselves as.
Second from the business owners perspective. This is where it could effect many real marriages. Since these civil unions are now legal, employers who offer full family insurance will be forced to offer that insurance to the gay couples. I offer extremely expensive full family insurance (to the tune of about $75 per day) because I want to enrich the lives of my employees. The first consideration I made from the business owners perspective is do I want to spend my money to support the gay partner in these unions or am I going to switch my plans to employee only (cutting my insurance costs down to about $45 per day). Switching my plans to employee only would allow me to not financially support a relationship that I feel is sinful. I decided for myself to continue to offer full family because I want to make life better for all my employees and frankly never had a problem with recognizing civil unions. I do not believe in legislating morality and these people will have to answer to God, not me.
Even though I made the decision to continue offering full family, not every business owner will. Some who need to cut costs could also use this as an excuse to drop full family insurance, even if it isn't based on any deeply held beliefs. That is going to result in a negative consequence for many real married couples. How many we may never know though.

What happened to religious separation of church and state? To force ministers to perform a same sex marriage - something he/she does believe in- is so wrong. But then again, we are being forced more and more to go the commie way.

Ocean if that is true then why do soooo many "joined as one flesh before God" get divorces?
If people actually thought so highly of marriage then divorce rates would be non existent.
Get real. Wth does it matter. Nobody respects that institution as evidenced by divorce rates.

Dog, I am not afraid of what a h*mosexual marriage will do to me.... I am more concerned about the wrath of God on a nation that has turned its back on him.. Ever heard of Sodom and Gomorrah? Not sure if you really support the h*mosexuals or just taking this opportunity to do what you do best...ARGUE

None of you have offered me one thing that would affect you from a gay marriage neither positive or negative.
Oogie, the register of deeds is an elected office. He was grand standing.
btw breezy cousins have been marrying for years. Where have you been hiding?

Like with most issues, Christians are not worried about "what gay marriage will do to us." That is an ignorant view of the issue. The real question and truth is the very definition of marriage is being changed....and it will not stop with h*mosexual ( not gay, gay defined is happy ) marriage. The argument you hear, even from the juvenile Kay Hagan, is we should not tell people who they can and cannot love. Ok, how about a brother in love with a sister? How about a cousin and a cousin? These scenarios will play out because evil knows no boundaries. Marriage simply is one man and one woman becoming one flesh before God. It is a divine and precious union and privilige that is being perverted. Christians should not be happy but we also should not be surprised. The Word is being fulfilled and it's going to get uglier.

The Guilford County Register Of Deeds office opened Friday after business hours to issue marriage licenses to the h*mosexual couples wanting such. Would the office do that for male-female couples? Why the special treatment for the h*mosexuals?

dog, the h*mosexuals are requiring that we officially say that their lifestyle is wonderful and very much to be desired and officially sanctioned. And I will not do that!

Norma Rae states that there is no difference between interracial marriage and h*mosexual marriage.
This type of thought is why you cannot debate progressives. It is useless if one cannot differentiate between skin color and gender. FP makes a good point. It really makes no difference what a judge says, Gods' law and statutes trump some ignorant judge.

Osmosis, And that's the truth! Everything is rigged, for example, the voting machines (Soros!) Kenyan hussein , the emperor, has done everything he can to destroy this country, and he will go at it full speed between Nov and Jan. Anyway, this is proof that our votes mean nothing, (among other things.)
