You can do what you want in the privacy of your own home but the defeniton of marrige is a union between a man and a woman so therefore gay marrige doesnt exist and is a fake thing entirely and gay people shouldnt benfit off something that doesnt exist

Just so you are aware, the pursuit of happiness part was referring to taxes and government control. For example, the government would stop letting you pursue happiness when they raise the income tax really high. Or maybe when they seize your property with no explanation.

Also, The Declaration of Independence isn't law, so stop using it as such. All it was doing was separating from the British and explaining why they are.

Informed Gay Marriage #3 Expert Social Issues

If two gay people want to be together, they can pursue happiness without marriage. The entire point of marriage is to serve as a stable family structure consisting of a man, a woman, and their children, and that tenet of marriage is violated by gay marriage. Nobody is saying that gay people shouldn't be allowed to be together if they desire, we're just saying that gay marriage isn't true marriage.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
