Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State

New submitter plsenjy writes "An article in the Atlantic outlines how Microsoft Corp. has submitted its support for a Washington State provision allowing gay couples to marry. Citing the company's inability to compete for top talent in the face of discrimination, Microsoft joins other firms such as Nike and Vulcan to effectively change moral policy from the top-down."

Why do people insist that we don't allow them to redefine perfectly good words that we are bigots. Find a definition of the word 'marriage', or heck the equivilent word in any human language, older than a hundred years (or fifty) that includes two men or two women. Yes some definitions do include more thab one woman and one man.

Which of the benefits of marriage are they wanting? Really. Unless children are unvolved there ain't any that civil unions couldn't provide other than using it as a wedge to drive religion farther out of the mainstream of society. Considering who pushes both concepts seems to have a LOT of overlap in membership, is it wrong to suspect an agenda?

As far as I'm concerned people can do what they want in the privacy of their own home. And I will even go for tolerance, but only up to a point. However what is being demanded isn't tolerance but acceptance. But I refuse to say 2+2=5. Homosexuality is a mental defect, albeit a minor one in the bigger scheme of things. They should NOT be given the ability to form family units and adopt for example. And before ya mod me into oblivion consider this: We are supposed to be believers in evolution, right? If you don't like my term of 'defect' for someone who takes themselves out of the gene pool please supply a better term.

But whan really gets so tiring is this tendency of homosexuals, when they come out, is to make their mental abberation the central defining aspect of their lives, and to demand any and everyone not only tolerate it but accept it with open arms. Hell, I only TOLERATE progressives, I certainly don't ACCEPT em and since 99% of gays are also progs........ you guys made my shitlist long before my gaydar went off.

Interestingly, when they agree with your point of view they are ahead of the curve, but most of the time they are lagging and have absolutely no moral compass to speak of... I wonder if the fact that they are "ahead of the curve" in pushing for this might actually be a clue that the idea is NOT in our best interest rather than something to be happy about.
