LOL,,you are right. One of my kids lives in an area where some gay people have bought houses, she is married. The neighborhood suddenly has upscale nice little restaurants, a great coffee shop, gorgeous gardens and very kind neighbors. I think this is why this issue is a loser for Bush. Most people know of something similar, a decent gay person at work who is kind to others, a relative one loves no matter what, a gay child, etc. Even if 2% of the country is gay, that makes about 5 or 6 million people,,that is alot of people. And just like racism, it is hard to be harsh about gayness when one gets beyond thinking about body parts and sees a human being you like. This issue is a loser for all.

as other posters have said, if it was just about those things you mention, that would be one thing. but as others have said, this will be the "welcome mat" to introduce this agenda into the public schools, and other areas.

The odds are now higher that your grandchildren will be gay but not happy.

Queer Eye For The Straight Neighborhood?

Neatening up neighborhoods is not a rationale for calling normal that which is patently abnormal. The Emperor's New Clothes comes to mind.

This has nothing to do with whether those who practice homosexual behavior are nice people or not, or whether I would mind living next door to someone who did. Many of them are nice people. This is about what is and is not marriage. Homosexual behavior is not marriage. Period. That is what this is about.
