Alec Baldwin hits back at brother's anti-gay marriage stance
World Entertainment News Network ^ | 3-5-2008 | World Entertainment News Network

Posted on 03/06/2008 3:57:40 AM PST by Westlander

Alec Baldwin has slammed his own brother in a letter to a leading gay magazine.

Brother Alec, who also opposes his Republican brother's political views, has responded by firing off a letter to gay magazine The Advocate.

He writes, "People like that... they want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family - that's their only argument."

He’s (Alec) certainly a shining example to other parents, like me, on how to best treat your children.

He's just jealous, because Stephen aged so much better than Alec.

Can somebody show me where Stephen said anything about procreation?

Stephen:
"I don't believe that gay marriage is in line with God's word, which is found in the Bible... and the Bible says that gay marriage is not acceptable."

Alex:
People like that... they want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family - that's their only argument."

"You can ban gay marriage, but if you're going to make it fair, then you have to ban marriage for everybody else who won't produce children. But they just single out groups of people that they hate."

From the IMDB website on Stephen Baldwin:

Stephen is a born-again Christian

Was baptized a Roman Catholic, but became a born-again Christian in the Evangelical church shortly after the September 11 attacks. Since converting, he has been on missions to evangelize the youth of the nation through projects such as The Breakthrough Ministry, which involves skateboarding and extreme sports and Christian rock concerts.

Personal Quotes

You would do far more good if you just preached the gospel of Jesus rather than trying to get rid of Third World debt relief” - On Bono’s crusade against poverty in Africa.

- is it any wonder Alec disagrees with him?

Some people can’t even comprehend a higher authority in the Universe than themselves.

Or a higher authority than the United States government.

Frankly, this problem comes about because the government is stepping in where it has no business. We have accepted that the government can define marriage, and is therefore at liberty to redefine marriage.

Marriage existed long before the US government came along, and will exist long after it is a dim memory. Government policy can not add to the institution of marriage. It can only take away.

Government should be completely neutral on this issue of marriage. If they want to define some kind of domestic partnership or generic child-custody law, that is their business. But marriage should have absolutely nothing to do with it.

I do believe that Alec Baldwin is the most self-destructive loudmouth I’ve seen in some time. He destroys relationships that should be cherished and humiliates himself and his family in public. I’m sorry for him. He believes in nothing and wants to hurt those who do believe in something.

Apparently Alec has no clue whatsoever if he thinks the only reason we oppose same-sex “marriage” is because those unnatural relationships cannot produce children.

He writes, "People like that... they want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family - that's their only argument."

And Alex Baldwin wants to ban mental institutions because he is incapable of a rational thought.

OK, Alec. In that case, I would be happy to have a televised debate with you on the matter, if you have such a masterly handle on the issue.

Here’s one of the best discussions ever on same-sex “marriage”. It addresses many excellent arguments against it, as well as the libertarian agument that government shouldn’t recognize marriage at all:

Absolutely. But their is one higher authority, and God will judge all the secrets of men by Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour of all them that believe Him.

On the SNL skit his character in one episode says, "I'm a convicted sex offender." In the other he says, "I masterbate to the Teletubbies." Both lines were meant to be disturbing but you have to wonder if his swetty balls swing that way or not.

I think it would be useful for people to ponder how important fertility is. Look around you... the color of your pencils, the shape of your coffee cup, the tune playing over the radio, the carpet... it’s all the work of humans who were once sperm-egg, embryos and babies. All of it except the sea, the stars, the clouds, mountains and suchlike. The list of things connected to fertility could fill all of google’s hard disks, which are also connected.

Not to be picky and NOT to compliment A. Baldwin unnecesarily, but IMHO his best work was in ‘Hunt for Red October’. This was not true to what I believe is his real personality, however. This is part of why I call it his best performance: being a tool for Michael Keaton did not IMHO involve acting.

I liked Red October, too. Although I AM surprised that Fred condescended to share the stage with Baldwin.

He was in a recent Scorcese movie (don't remember the name). Watching Baldwin BUTCHER a Boston accent was difficult, to say the least. Especially when most of the cast was from Boston and had the accent down pat to begin with.

Just thought about it there is ANOTHER SNL skit where he is a camp counselor or Boy Scout leader and he has some gay ideas for his “victim” played by Adam Sandler called Canteen Boy. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and these may me pure examples, even though they are purported to be “comedy”.

God bless you, Stephen, but, to quote Hank Hill, "Christian rock" doesn't make Christianity better, it makes rock and roll worse.

"Hank Hill" is a fictional cartoon character invented by writers that have no alliegence to Christianity.

My advice to you is to try to find a better argument.
