Obviously not true. Police arrest people pre-emptively all the time.
----
They can arrest them pre-emptively, but unless its conspiracy to <insert crime>, intention to <insert crime> and they can prove it beyond all reasonable doubt there is nothing that can be done about it, which effectively makes their pre-emptiveness relatively useless. And entirely useless in this matter.

If homosexuals can marry regardless of the law, how is a Howard move to ban gay marriage going to affect them? Why are you bothering to participate in this debate?
Law is an integral part of what constitutes a marriage.
----
Howards ban will stop them from being seen as married under the law. Nothing can stop them going thru the motions of marriage and being seen in the eyes of their familes and friends as married.. its the concept of a de facto relationship basically. And de facto relationships are seen in the eyes of the law in similar terms as marriages (as long as they comply with certain conditions of course). Law is not an integral part of marriage. Law is just what makes it binding if it comes before a court (divorce, crim procedings etc). Law doesnt affect the marriage per se.. Love is an integral part of marriage.. like respect and equality law does not rank amongst these.
----
Gay marriage being change for the better is strictly your opinion. So is the law being wrong. I challenge you to prove otherwise.
----
I believe it says somewhere that the law should evolve with society, it should reflect societies beliefs and that everyone should be seen equally within the eyes of the law, regardless of race, gender, sexuality or any other discriminatory factor. Both of those points are foundations upon which our legal system is founded.. and if Howard follows thru.. if the government follows thru. Then they'll have just opened up themselves to alot of trouble because it is discrimination, it is wrong and society is evolving but the law is not. If it does go ahead, perhaps the law is going into a steeper decline than previous acknowledged.

Most scientific studies would tend to disagree with the idea of being 'born gay'. Most scientific studies would also disagree with the idea of choice. However, most scientific studies would agree that homosexuality develops out of a mixture of genetic and environmental factors.
Despite criticisms of selection bias, there is a biological basis for sexual orientation, either structural or genetic, that has be repeatedly demonstrated.
There is also a role in environmental factors.
So far, neither nature nor nurture can be conclusively shown to be deterministic of sexual orientation.

And until a proper decision can be reached each to his own. And regardless neither side will be happy when a decision is reached, much less with whatever results any experiments come up with.. someone always has another opinon. *shrugs*

This would be because people with grey eyes can fuck. People with grey eyes have always been able to fuck. People with grey eyes can probably fuck as well as you do.
----
Everyone can fuck. Homosexual or heterosexual. Both can reproduce.
---
You're obviously not thinking about it deeply enough. If you are gay from birth, you will be attracted only to other men and or women, depending on your sex. This means you will be unable to breed. If you are unable to breed, this will mean you are unable to pass on your genetic material to the next generation. This means the 'gay gene' will disappear.
---
Homosexuals are not unable to breed, they are human and hence born with the same reproductive system as everyone else. And the 'gay gene' as it is so named, has been around for a long time and it still hasnt bred out. I think that means atleast for a little while longer.. its staying.
----
So a gay man CAN have sex with women, but just CHOOSES to have sex with other men?
---
Anyone can fuck who they want. Fuck a man, fuck a woman, fuck a kid, fuck a goat. Nothing to stop you from fucking you who you want (technically, lets ignore consent.. age etc for the moment k)

Please define homosexuality. I always thought homosexuals didn't have sex with women. You seem to be confusing a bisexual with a homosexual.
----
Homosexuality
n : a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same sex [syn: homosexualism, homoeroticism, gayness]
homosexual
adj : sexually attracted to members of your own sex [ant: bisexual, heterosexual] n : someone who practices homosexuality; having a sexual attraction to persons of the same sex [syn: homo, gay]
And you seem to be confusing homosexuals with only male homosexuals. There are the female variety as well you know. Homosexuality is as much a state of mind as it is a way of life. You are NOT a homosexual if you fuck a member of the same sex once because it was a dare, because you thought it might be fun or because you wanted to mess around with ur buddies heads. If this is you, i'd invest in a dictionary and look up pansexual.
You ARE a homosexual (in the eyes of society) if you have a member of the same sex as you life partner, if you engage in sexual activity on a regular basis with members of the same sex and if you are attracted to said same sex.
Bisexuality is another realm entirely. It sits between homo and hetero and dips into either at whim.
Just because you had sex with someone of the same sex doesnt mean your homo, just as much as having sex with the opposite sex means ur hetero. It doesn't work like that.
----
Occuring naturally doesn't mean something is right. Hell, incest occurs naturally, and I don't see you campeigning to allow my grandmother to toss my salad. Why, I think you'd be quite opposed to it.
----
What you do in ur 'family time' is all up to you. Whatever rocks ur boat mate. Nature is nature for a reason, if it survives it has earned the right to survive (battle of the fittests etc etc)
True some people think that just because it is in nature its not right, but thats just opinion. A tornado is a part nature, doesn't make it right or wrong. A cat is a part of nature doesn't make their survival any more right or wrong.
----
Maybe so, but laws are made based on what the majority feels. How could it be elsewise?
----
Its called a dictatorship. Also ask the residents in china, i'm sure as much as they want to give oral sex to their partners there must be a very large majority against it.. i mean since the law is there...
----
Males are human. Females are human. Therefore, females are the same thing as males?
----
yes human. I have a black cat and a white one.. they're still both cats. I have a lemonade and a coke.. yet both are still drinks.
