Teenagers are allowed to get married.

I laugh when people try to compare homosexuals to polygamists and incestors(?). Unlike polygomists, you're not doing anyting illegal, and unlike those who practice incest, homosexual pairings won't result in severly disabled children (or me throwing up all over). Once upon a time, homosexuals were forced into isolation, jailed, hanged, etc. It's a slow process that started with bigotry and that will end with real equal rights, just like it did with women and minorities.

...that way they chose to live their life doesn't effect you. We're not forcing anyone to accept anything. You're trying to pretend like marriage means something, and you're bravely defending marriage from the gays (how brave of you). In reality, marriage doesn't mean jack shit. When the divorce rate is well over 50%, what are you defending? Just becuase you forced gay out of marriage first doesn't mean that you're right.

It's not okay to discriminate. If I discriminate, does that make it okay for you to discriminate? Shit no.
Also, on a side note, there should be no voting age or drinking age. They're useless, and are ageist.
