Also, my tax dollars were used to rainbow the white house. But are you this board that you start a thread just to see how many people you can call bigots when they give you their views? 'cuz that makes you a bigot at that point... and an ass.
If it is 5% then there is approximately 16,000,000 in the U.S. It takes 2 to marry so 8,000,000 potential marriages. If only 50% of them marry we would currently have 4,000,000 gay-marriages. If say 30% of those end up in divorce. That would be 1,200,000 gay divorces. Average legal fees are approximately $15,000. (Some much lower and some much higher, depends on the situation, assets, and attorney hours required. Some as little as $400 others in the million.) So 1,200,000 divorces at $15,000 in legal fees leaves a pool of around $1.8 Billion in legal fees... Anyone want to go to law school with me?
I'm a faithful believer...
Don't know what the first sentence has to do with anything or anybody mentioned here. Otherwise, I stand by my experience with this board. In all of the libertarian/conservative speak that goes on this board, nobody says a word about the government being involved in marriage until the subject of gay marriage comes up. In fact.... I'd wager a majority that are married..... have a license from the state.
To begin with, if you use the study referenced at http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...he-u-s-population-is-gay-lesbian-or-bisexual/, it's actually less than 3.5%
Secondly, how many lawyers would that be divided by?
Let's say that all 3.5% marry. Let's say they all get divorced. Maybe revenue increases by 3.5 %. Not a windfall.

I'll bet the majority obey most of the laws, most of the time. Maybe marriage hasn't been singled out as an issue, 'cuz no one gives it much thought, until some change is proposed. I haven't spoken out about the feds regulating refineries, either, but I'm still just as opposed to it. And I'll bet some liberty-minded folks are employed in the refineries! (gasp!)
So what's your point?
if they have no other basis for for being anti-gay marriage other than the fact that God himself said it was an abomination.
The hypocrisy should be obvious IMO. Some may be more universal in their libertarian beliefs or leanings, but it's quite obvious that an amount of naysayers are following a philosophy out of convenience to cover underlying prejudices.
Again.... I wonder what percentage of naysayers on this board and have a marriage license from the state?
