A Solution for Same Sex Marriage
Cc: President Barack Obama & Robin Tyler
Considering all the interest in the controversy over same sex marriage, I thought I'd offer a solution. Granted, it's just my two cents worth and it is date sensitive, meaning I am always evolving. Just don't expect me to go all 180 like the President. Anyways here it is.
There is no longer a need for government to be involved in the traditional marriage business. There was a time when it was important for state governments to promote pro-creation which is the reason for offering tax benefits and cheap marriage licenses. Government's only responsibility today should be in protecting the rights of those who enter into civil contracts. You've probably heard it said that government should not legislate "love." I agree. Call it a "civil union" whether referring to a same sex couple or opposite sex couple. Then, for those of us who choose a traditional marriage, after establishing the State civil contract requirements, there would the additional opportunity to hold a separate marriage ceremony within our own churches or other organizations according to our beliefs.
You see, I prefer traditional marriage and I have never viewed Holy Matrimony or the love I have for my wife as something granted to me by the State.

How did Pres. Obama get into University, if according to his book, he took drugs, drank alcohol, and took is easy in his last two years of high school? Why can't we review his school grades? How did he get into University in the first place? All other candidates have to reveal their thesis papers and grades. Is this just more affirmative action for Presidents?

Dear Larry - Here is my take on gay marriage. I am not against gays marrying. I know gay couples who are every bit as committed to one another as any heterosexual couple. I just don't think it should be called marriage.
Marraige has always been defined as the union of a man and a woman. So called gay marriage "marriage" is changing the definition of the word marriage. I am against changing the definition of a word by legislation or by lawsuit. If the definition of marriage can be changed, so can the definition of many other words, such as equal, and freedom, and fairness, and merit. I am against this. Lawsuits and legislation is not the way to define words.
So here is what I propose. Gay people refer to their significant other as their "partner." I think rather than gay people getting married, they should be "partnered" in a "partnership" ceremony reflecting the same dignity, love, committment and legal rights and obligations as marriage. Gays couples would refer to themselves as "partnered." "I'm Jim and this is Bill. We're partnered."
As this term comes into common usage, it will be understood and accepted as having equal dignity and committment as marriage but will be between two persons of the same sex. They could also continue to refer to themselves as partners, as they do now. People will understand what it means.
I think much of the opposition to gay marriage will dissapate if the term "partnered" is used rather than marriage.
But my term "partnered" may not be the best one. Perhaps you or one of your listeners could come up with a better term. Your great fan, Richard J. Chrystie Orange CA (714) 637-8863

I am in my mid-30's and live in LA and work in downtown Brooklyn for the past 10 months. I have heard about 6 or 7 racial insults thrown my way (All from black women) in my time in Brooklyn. I think whatever, I am just dealing with poverty scum bags who made bad life choices and it is easier for them to live their miserable lives by blaming a successful white man for their problems than to look in the mirror (And I can take you to some red-neck hood in the south and you will see the same but vice versa there). What really bothers me though is this 95% support for Obama by the black vote. Now that he comes out for gay marriage (Which blacks over whelming are against)...he will still get their vote, which means blacks are voting for Obama because he is black (Shhhhh...don't tell them he is half white). Yeah, racism is alive and well in the country and these numbers prove it.

To: Susan H, It was when he was running for office in Illinois. He filled out a questionnaire stating he supported gay marriage and would fight against it's prohibition. He wrote, "I favor legalizing same sex marriages and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." The document is probably available as a matter of public record.

Larry..you just mentioned on your show that before the 2008 election ( I think that was the time period) that Obama was pro gay marriage..can you give me a cite for that? I googled it and got nothing. Thanks!

To all the people that voted for Obama and now are regretting it, please don't vote in the future until you form some sort of ideological principals and understand what you are doing. Obama was/is the most liberal socialist this country has ever seen and he never hide it from anyone, so why are you people surprised?? The mistake I made was not voting for Prez as I could not get behind that so-called Republican McCain, now look what I got. Mitt is also silly (He is not a true limited govt person, just another scum bag politician), but he has my vote! This is the most important election we are going to see in our lifetime ...we are going to decide if we are going Socialist or not. Pick a side! When you dems say you believe in what Larry says but you are a dem, that is like a Jew going to catholic church on Sundays imo. You believe in limited govt or not!

Hearing the union lackey on your show Monday made me LOL. Of course he is doing ok. He most likely has seniority, and job security. My brother who is a union member doesnt have that senority, and has been laid off several times...and there are rumors that his plant is closing and moving to Mexico. As a National Guard member, I just returned from a tour in Afghanistan, and for the first time in my life, can NOT find a job! At least one that doesnt pay minimum wage. The fallacy that employers are hiring vets is just that...a fallacy. If you dont have the skills or education they are looking for with this glut of available candidates out there in the market right now...you are screwed.

Larry just stated that Pres. Obama ran on the ticket that he and the Democrats could solve the economic problems. That is EXACTLY right! This point needs to be stated over and over. The Republicans must state this fact. Then Senator Obama ran on this point for two years before he was elected. Where's the beef? What was the plan? For two years he worked on passing the Health Care and Education Plan of 2010. The Democrats had both the House and Senate the last two years of Pres. Bush's administration. They passed their Democratic budgets in 2007 and 2008, Pres. Bush did not veto them.

Freddy H. To Whom are you responding to? "More precise descriptions of sources" - do you need a bibliograpy, a primary source, a secondary source, as in you and the rest who get the information from the radio and parrot what you hear, or do you need something that will help you understand extremely plain English? If you read a little closer, you will understand that I never said that, "Larry said so!" (If you don't know, the last sentence was a complex sentence, and this one is a compound/complex sentence. Do you need a grammar book for a source?) The points are very easy to understand, and I will capitalize them to help you: ZIMMY LIED WHEN HE SAID HE WAS RETURNING TO HIS CAR AND WAS COLD COCKED; HE LIED WHEN HE SAID HE SPOKE TO TRAYVON AND WAS SATISFIED AND RETURNED. SOURCES: ZIMMERMAN! Trayvon was worried about being followed - source: the call to his girlfriend. Zimmy disregarded what a police dispatcher said - source: Everyfreaking where! Freddy, need I go on? Just think a little before you comment.
