A fair number of them are likely pedophiles because otherwise a sane person could not, would not, buy into the radical gay agenda.

See post #144, later paragraphs, which outlines how the radicals and pedophiles think a "little" sex is okay for our children!!

Only pedophiles believe that.

Heterosexuals have done more to debase the institution of marriage than any attempt by homosexuals to emulate same. If marriage meant what it used to, then homosexuals would want no part or parcel of it.

They only want it because it's easy and meaningless now. And now can offer monetary benefits to them without the inconvenient injunction to honor one's vows. If they had to maintain a vow, as heterosexuals used to have to, they'd do without the bennies.

Marriage hasn't meant much to many for years upon years now. And you can thank the worthless hets out there who divorced their spouses for myriad 'irreconcilable differences.' The blame for the dissolution of marriage and the family lies with their weak and wretched kind.

The primary goal of gay marriage activists is to break down traditional standards for sexuality....Gay marriage is not about hospital visitation rights. It is about cultural approval of their sexual practices.

No, it's not. It's about money.

It's about spousal benefits for insurance, retirement, social security, and other entitlement/benefit programs.

Government and society grant certain benefits to married couples because, as stated earlier, most cultures and religions have recognized marriage to be the best method of perpetuating the society. (Even though not all marriages result in children, odds are that many or most will.)

Homosexuality by definition does not perpetuate the society, which is one reason most religions and societies have prohibitions against it. Homosexuals want the benefits married couples get, but they don't benefit society in return.

Actually, I don't believe they would even be able to demand marriage or civil unions if not for the current cultural decline, and the fact that "the joining of one man and one woman and the binding force of the nuclear family" is much weaker than it used to be.

Many couples now choose not to have children. Where I teach, very few of the children live with both parents, and some don't even have fathers listed on their birth certificates. We can't really claim that marriage perpetuates the society, because so many of those who are perpetuating the society aren't remaining married.

I've gotten 5 freepmails from her under 3 names now. And I was not on this thread to begin with. Wasn't it Kerry that mentioned hitting us back on our sites?

But what does gay marriage do to real children???

It doesn't produce them, which is one reason most societies and religions have prohibitions against it.

I've only had one student I know of who was being raised by a homosexual (lesbian) couple, and he was unhappy and rebellious; however, I don't know if that was cause-and-result or if there were other factors involved.

That mass post from zara must have taken some time to write, even with cut and paste. This new form of troll, who seems to have an almost normal attention span is worrying. :)
