I am wondering gays and k-1 visas?

yes! I think most are in off topic but it's a discussion that has come up many times.

While I feel everyone is entitled to their opinion, I also have to wonder what the 'haters' are worried so much about... makes you think.

Maybe it's just because i'm from Massachusetts, or maybe it's because I wasn't raised to judge or hate people based on anything but who they are, but I feel like everyone is entitled to love who they want. I believe our government will get there too... may take many years... but they will get there.

p.s. no, I don't have a gay brother or sister!

It won't be forever. Gays have that to be thankful for. Bigotry unfortunately seeps its way into the lawbooks. Thankfully, the way things have been progressing, this archaic ideology against gays will be cast aside.

Anyone else get a laugh out of the name itself -- "Defense of Marriage"?

Whereabouts in MA if you don't mind me asking? I'll be moving there myself. (probably somewhere closer to Bridgewater/Middleboro/Taunton)

Totally agree... the fact that someone can post in a forum for FORIEGN LOVE about their disapproval for same sex love baffles the mind. Love is love.

PS - Having said that, I am surprised that the process does not include homosexual couples yet. In time...

I absolutely support the right of any adult individual to marry, and excluding gay couples is just fukked up indeed.

However, immigration being a federal matter in the US follows federal law; and only recognizes marriage as a monogamous heterosexual union.

As far as hatred goes, nothing surprises me anymore around here.

Dammit... I before E, except after C... lies!

You wont be too far away! Welcome to title town!!!!

I'm ashamed of so many of my peers who misuse the word "hate" (and for that matter the word "attack") instead of more accurate and descriptive terms. It seems anybody who has a different opinion on some subjects is labeled a hater. Is it not possible to disagree with legalizing gay marriage for reasons other than hate? I sure hope so because I disagree with it and don't hate anybody on the other side of the argument. Do the people on the other side of the argument get labeled straight haters or straightphobics?

Can I root for the Red Sox without being labeled a Yankee hater?

Let's tone down the rhetoric, please. Ok?

Not if you're from Boston.

pushbrk, I was wondering when you would show up!

I so agree with you on this.

There were no negative words said about gays or lesbians. No words of hate mentioned; but because Kim of KimandRuss fame decided that anyone opposed to gay marriages is a "hater", she started the whole hive a buzzing. Its like being trapped in liberal hell!

Just like people from Boston still think the Patriots are something special, even though they lost to the poor little NY Giants!!!

So if someone is entitled to their own opinion, then why is it when that opinion differs from others, they are labled a "hater'.

What does being on a website that deals with immigration have to do with gay and lesbians? Or how can someone on a foreign love forum (whatever that is) be opposed to same sex marrige? Where is the connection with that one?

I guess the real haters are the ones that can't accept other people having different opinions then them.
