At the Capitol, a gay youth joins in fight (Ga Constitutional Amendment)

Atlanta Journal Constituion ^ | 2-17-04 | Jay Croft

[Lance Romance]

For all the propaganda about anti-gay constitutional amendments being needed to protect children, here's one kid everybody should meet: Gregory Casajuana, a 16-year-old student at Cobb County's Harrison High School.

A few minutes later, I met Gregory, his 14-year-old boyfriend and Edward Gray, the executive director of YouthPride, a support group for gay kids, who was with the boys.

This is Jay Croft, AJC Op-Ed writer and known cruiser of local high school searching for gay youth.

I pray to God Ga passes this amendment, it will make my move from Ma much sweeter.

"I heard this and began to cry."

What a sissy, did your 14 year old boyfriend console you during your boohoo fest?

[King Black Robe]

tangible benefits that married people get that gay Americans can not, including security for their own children and families.

Gay unions cannot produce children. No amount of wishing it weren't so will change that fact. Nature says no to gay families.

[MEGoody]

"a bill to make the state Constitution say that gay people can never marry"

Hey kid, you can get married any time you want - to a member of the opposite sex.

[King Black Robe]

BTW, is this a news story or an editorial?

[King Black Robe]

Oh..I see the answer in your post.

[Windsong]

Well, I guess this guy won't be joing up with any of the elites in the military when he is 18. What a loss... *sniff*..

Comedy.

A few minutes later, I met Gregory, his 14-year-old boyfriend and Edward Gray, the executive director of YouthPride, a support group for gay kids, who was with the boys. They said Gregory has his family's support and his mother had appeared with him at a previous Capitol appearance but had a family emergency that kept her away Saturday. (Lourdes Casajuana confirmed that for me today, saying she is "very proud" of her son.)

Are these kids from Vermont or has the age of consent been lowered to 14 in Georgia?

Poor kid was probably out skating in a local park when he was "recruited".

I have male friends who refuse to bicycle in a local park, notorious for its population of gay cruisers.

Sexual solicitation in a public, family oriented place is wrong, whether gay or straight.

[tuckrdout]

Again, gay men do not want to be in exclusive, monogamous relationships. This is an attempt to further cause chaos to society. To corrupt our children, and leave us weak. Immorality rots a nation from within, leaving it open to easy overthrow.

Look no further than SF to see that these people are anachists. They care nothing about law and order, morality, selflessness, a safe, orderly society or what is best for children. They live to fulfill their own selfish lusts at all costs.

"I am here because just the other day I was told that I am an abomination to God and this amendment proves it," he told about 600 people gathered in the rain. "I heard this and began to cry. I wondered what has happened to our society to think that because I am gay that I do not deserve to live freely."

That's a clue...It's call CONVICTION

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

A few minutes later, I met Gregory, his 14-year-old boyfriend.....

Dear God!

Young adolescents, barely into puberty, are already sure they're gay?

Dear God! Give me a break!

Gay unions cannot produce children...

Most "gay" people have normal sex sometime in their lives, and many get married to a member of the opposite sex and have children the usual way.

Then they might "discover" they are "gay" or "come out" and then get a divorce. The notorious Anglican bishop you've been hearing about was married and had two daughters, for example.

With "gay" marriage, it changes the whole custody climate. Who has a stabler home, the single parent or the married one? Get it?

To say nothing of adoption and reproductive technologies.

This issue involves children directly, not through some chain of reasoning about slippery slopes.

[King Black Robe]

It does involve children directly, which is why we should never allow gay marriage. And I think a child is better off with a single, moral parent than with two gays. Maybe you think a child would be better off with three parents. The truth is, the morality of the parent does come into play in family court. If parents divorce because the father moved in with his girlfriend, the court would not give the father custody.

God help the children of this generation.

How heartbreaking that a teenager would be so willing to
brand himself as aberrant.Someone ought tell the boy he can
live "freely".. . but the "Sacred writings" cannot be changed to accomodate anyone. The "already captured" Denver
Post published a story bragging how Colorado was the first
State to illegally marry homosexuals (Boulder 1975) Seems
one of the Lesbians seeking a phony Marriage license in
SF was illegally "married" in Boulder ,CO (1975) until the State AG stepped up and declared such illegal. Now shes' in
SF with a different committment and Promising the press she'll go to Boston if the SanFran deal is declared B.S.

Murphy v. Ramsey,1885 --the union for life of one man and one woman in the Holy estate of matrimony."

[Lance Romance]

Speaking of slippery slopes, what will happen after gays get the right to marriage?

Gays adopting teenage boys/girls for their own pleasure?

Gay set asides for college placement?

Mandatory contracts for gay owned companies?

How about hate crime legislation for gays? Oh wait, we already have that one.

Time to nip this in the bud. Viva Georgia.
