Yep I just figured that the other guy, in the course of trying to have me banned from the forum, might want to know why I don’t care, but as I can see from his subsequent follow-up, he’s not the type who thinks that intelligent people can care about different things in different degrees. Everyone has to see the world exactly the way he does.

I do not think he would win a lot of elections.

I have a sister who is a homosexual. My next door neighbors are homosexuals. Their lives are seemingly stable, but are actually filled with insecurity, promiscuity, anger and anxiety. Homosexuals are not the same as heterosexuals, and those who care about them do not accept that their lifestyle is a happy one.

Yes, it's easier to pretend that all is well so as not to confront the issues, but imho, that is the coward's way out. Being "intelligent" has nothing to do with it.

As suspected, you dismissed any challenge to your assertion that homosexual couples are "just like the rest of us" with an ad hominem attack. I do believe that intelligent people can disagree on such issues. However, following the law of contradiction, they cannot both be correct. If I may refresh your memory, the law of contradiction is a fundamental principal governing all human discourse, which states that two opposite propositions ("A and not-A") cannot both be true at the same time and in the same way.

Thus, your implication that the claims of those who argue for homosexual marriage are equally as valid as those of the proponents of traditional marriage - is disingenuous

The two positions are fundamentally incompatible and, in fact, locked in mortal combat. One or the other will prevail: if the gay activists succeeds, one day our children will be taught that two men or two women are just as valid a marriage as a man and a woman (if they are not already in some places) - and furthermore, the children will be taught that to believe otherwise is a dangerous and unacceptable "intolerance" and "hate speech."

If you persist in sticking your head in the sand and denying the fierce culture war that is fast gaining momentum, that is your choice to make. But you are not free to infer that a pro-gay marriage position should be given equal status alongside the pro-marriage and family stance of this forum.
