i for one have offered an explanation as to why homo-behavior should not be institutionalized or encouraged . it is worthless to our future . oh , ya , but i forget about the inevitable anhillation of humanity don't i ? boom ! so what ? who cares ?
There is actually a legal marriage which has nothing to do with religion whatsoever. Legal marraige and religious marriage are two different things. Therefore, marriage is NOT a religions institution. "Special rights and privilages"? How about EQUAL rights and privilages, Erasmus. Why is that kind of a union special? Uhmmm ... because they're allowed to marry in churches? How's that for starters. Come on, Erasmus ... Think! I know you can do it ... Thank you! *claps* How is your desire, Erasmus, any better or more pure, than a homosexual's desire? Hmmm? And war isn't? The morality of having EQUAL RIGHTS, just as this country was DESIGNED to do, is WORTHLESS to our future? And I quoth ... "Dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Or perhaps it is worthless to *your* future?
just let them be. they arent hurting you in any way, shape, or form. how would you like it if all of a suddon we got a gay president and said the heterosexuals couldnt get married? you wouldnt be very happy
Actualy, people in stable relationships support society and its future. I know of no one trying to make everyone gay, thus ending the race via non-breeding. Your concerns are mis-placed. Gay marriage and the stable couples that result, supports society rather than destroyes it.
Which reminds me of another point ... More than HALF of heterosexual marriages end up in divorce. And yet you anti-same-sex-marriage people claim that heterosexual marriages are supposed to be stable? Or even more stable than homosexual marriages? Get real.
WTF??!!! gay people procreate too. If that weren't so, I wouldn't be here. Why does it bother you if gay people get married or not? How is it any business of yours? Homosexuality does not need to be encouraged, just recognized and not used as a basis for hatred and prejudice. People are going to be gay, they don't choose to be gay. There have always been gay people. Denying them the same rights that other people have is not going to stop people from being gay.
homosexuality is in fact encouraged . it is a social movement primarily driven by the intellectual community , and the myth that people are born gay is quite useful to the movement . gender is primarily a social construct , social theatrics . most people are born with various mixes of feminine/masculine attributes . it is inane to consider that this accounts directly for any particular sexual orientation . gender can be manipulated . homo-sex can be defined as sex , tho it is not sex . it was the Clinton administration that openly declared the point of the movement is population density control . i oppose only the institutionalization aspects . i oppose insanity , but i'm not unkind in this .
you oppose insanity???? LOLOLOL That's a good one! People have always been gay. If you think they choose to be gay, why in the world would my father, a rural southerner, have ever chosen to love men? You think people decide, "Hey, I wanna be one of the most hated people in my county. I want people to throw rocks at me and slash my tires. I want to be dead before I'm 25." Get real. Homosexuality has always existed. It always will. You can't encourage people to be gay, any more than you can cure someone of being gay and turn them straight. The only difference now is that people are openly gay, when in the past they had to hide it in the closet so they wouldn't be murdered in cold blood by their neighbors. This is very intimidating to homophobics (who are most likely gay themselves, but afraid to admit it), in particular, hence the anti-gay movement and the open prejudice against gay people we are now experiencing. You know what's really funny? In the 1970's, the same church that is now condemning gay marriages had gay ministers! Yeah, my dad, the homo, was a preacher-man. Whatcha think of them apples? It's only a big deal now because it has been made into a big deal. Used to be nobody cared one way or the other, as long as everyone kept their sex lives private.
sorry but im gonna have to dissaree. people are not born gay. nor are they born straight. when your born youve got no urges whatsoever. like if some kid was born straight and some hot nurse was in the room, the baby wouldnt be thinking "shit, i wanna fuck that nurse" you develope your sexuality through experiences in your life and your enviornment.
Yeah, but they sure as hell aren't walking around bumblefuck Alabama (or any other predominantly white, rural, farming community, north or south, east or west) wearing their headscarves, now, are they?
Actualy, in Central California ("stuck south of Lodi again"), I've seen many Muslim women wearing headscarves.
What about secular marriage? It's still marriage. Doesn't have to be in a church and "disgrace" any sky daddy. Oh we have muslim women wearing whatever they like, over here too. Big deal. I've never heard anybody whine because of it.
Just because you are not born with urges (I assume you mean sexual urges, it seems babies do have desires like milk, food, etc.) does not mean the sexual nature of the child is not there, in the genetic code of the child. Sexual attraction is not necessary for a baby, there is more important matters of survival, so it is not yet active. But it is there.
if we let people start marrying those of the same sex, whats next? people marrying animals, like a dog or a dolphin
That's your opinion, don't act as if it is recognized truth. It's not just about "urges", by the way...
I hope you're just joking around, because that is the weakest argument I have ever seen. We're talking consenting adults here. What the hell do animals have to do with anything?!
