Thank you, ma'am. Please send him my regards.
He did. Take a look, right before the title: "Cynthia Tucker."
The U.S. Constitution does guarantee full equality to all couples who desire to get married, that is, to all couples that are made up of one consenting man and one consenting woman.
Well, here it comes.....
At a time when marriage is rapidly losing its allure for so many heterosexuals, one of the most promising developments is the deep desire of so many gays to commit themselves to marriage, with all its rewards and sacrifices.
Bull-hockey. Gay marriage only makes a mockery of a centuries-old tradition. Instead of strengthening the institution, it will only serve to undermine it and destroy it completely. Gays are notorious adulterers, unable to stay within a monogamous relationship. The piece of paper will not bind them to one partner.
Most psychologists agree that stable marriages are the best arrangement for children, and children reared in single-parent homes are more likely to suffer poor educational achievement and to be lured into drugs, early parenthood and crime.
And children reared in same-sex parented households? They are going to be the epitome of "normal?" I know of one woman in particular who was raised in a two-woman lesbian household. She had such a desire for "normalcy" that she ran away with an older man when she was 16 and is unable to have a lasting, normal relationship with a man. Where were her role-models? Two women who partied non-stop and verbally denigrated men and minorities? Yeah right.
The "End Times" that we are taught about in the Bible are upon us. It is evident in the blatant lack of morals, the "in your face" activism of gays in the churches as well as the secular world and the God-less masses that support such crap. It is evident in the one million human beings who each year are not allowed to be born - supported by the bull-dyke lesbian "wymin."
Cynthia Tucker is a clue-less journalist who spews her filth in a clue-less rag sheet. The unfortunate thing is that Atlanta is chock-full of so-called Christians who blindlessly vote a dimRat ticket because that's what their parents and friends have always voted and they are not about to take a stand. Spineless cowards, they all are.
Did that meet your expectations ((((((onyx)))))))?
Amending the constitution to deny some citizens rights is not a priority. You people who complain about homosexuals forming civil unions are the same crowd who complain about homosexual promiscuity and the spread of disease. So, which is it going to be, folks? Gay civil unions and monogamous commitment, or promiscuity and disease?
I'd guess that people like you would choose neither and would prefer that they all "just stop being gay!". I'm afraid that isn't going to happen, so you'd better learn to make the best of the situation.
Gay people forming civil unions is not going to destroy marriage. If anything it is going to reinforce the idea of monogamous commitment.
If gay people want to stand up at a ceremony and swear to spend the rest of their lives together that should be their prerogative. Amending the state (or Federal) constitution to deny them that right is just plain bigoted and wrong. If you can't see that, then God help you.
I'm a day late with this, but that is the stupidest thing I have read today. I'm sure this bit of information comes from your years and years of personally associating with gay people and not from second-hand rumor, right?
What's that, you don't know any gay people? Well, then, I'm confused. How is it that you know so much about their lifestyle and inability to be monogamous? Oh, you've just heard about it? Ok, that makes sense.
May not be such a great idea to them after better than half have to start paying out for their "divorces."
Wrong. *If* you knew me you would know I only speak from first-hand experience and not rumor, innuendo, etc.
My line of work for the past 20+ years has put me into close contact with scores of gays and lesbians. I stand by my *observations.* Most of these people admitted to a lack of monogamy in their relationships. I knew of exactly 2 couples out of the many people I had close association with that were monogamous.
Your sarcastic and uninformed attack was rude, to say the least.
I call a spade a spade, sorry if that offends you. Please enlighten me on this line of work that puts you in contact with "scores" of gays and lesbians.
