Sadly. I live there (transplant) and am forced to agree with you. They don't call them Massholes for nothing.

Another consideration in the homosexual drive to normalize themselves is this: What if two very good friends of the same sex, one in need of medical benefits, the other having said benefits, want to get married? Must they be required to perform perverted sex acts to be considered married or can two friends get married. Think about it. We have all had very good friends that we loved but never had sex with--can we marry them or not? I don't think this is what the homos have in mind, but who can prove it?
Good point........must be huge......then again, Nov 2004 proved it, too.
You have my sympathy! I would love to move but my family is here.
There are a lot of people who will mouth the PC responses in life. Then when they vote in private on election day, they vote against the PC ism. We have seen this in California in our Props that attempt to strike out against PCism. These Props win by a 60% margin, and then the judges do a Terri manuever on them.
No, you've missed it.
It's called by pollsters the Wilder Factor. When Doug Wilder, a black politician, was running for governor of Virginia, the polls showed him comfortably ahead when he won by a much smaller margin than the polls predicted. That is because white people, when polled, wanted to look "tolerant" and "non-racist" so they told the pollster Wilder when in the privacy of the voting booth they chose otherwise. When people are polled on values and lifestyle questions they often respond a lot more "tolerant" and "open-minded" than they really are so they tend to give politically correct answers.
This poll is people being turned off by the heavy-handedness of the sodomite lobby and feeling free to tell the pollsters what they really, really think, whether it sounds politically correct or not.
However, on the subject of homosexuality, I feel pretty confident that the truths expressed in the Bible and held as standard in every civilization on earth for the last 2,000 years are valid.
Ditto on the Bible truths IronJack
Some additional food for thought:
If we want to really 'walk the walk' and not just 'talk the talk', then more than resisting the homosexual agenda is needed. When was the last time you heard anyone (even a Church leader) point out that that practices that are improper for homosexuals (in or out of SSM) are also improper for heterosexuals (married or not)?
Sodomy in all its forms can be practiced by heterosexuals too. Are we 'loving the sinner' but 'hating the sin' if we find it acceptable for heterosexuals - albeit married - engage in the same sexual practices?
Which of the following is more correct?
For a man to:
A. Lie with a man as if lying with a woman.
OR
B. Lie with a woman as a man would lie with a man.
OR for a woman to:
C. Lie with a woman as if lying with a man.
OR
D. Lie with a man as a man would lie with a man.
If we hate the same sins when homosexuals practice them but love the same sins when heterosexuals practice them, then we are hypocrites and practicing (PC wording alert!) inequality and being 'tolerant' of sin.

You're going to have a hard time selling the notion that heterosexual sodomy is as egregious as its homosexual equivalent, even though qualitatively they are the same act. And frankly, I'm not sure what the various churches' stances are on the former. But you're right; the Bible doesn't make any such fine distinctions, although I'm sure advocates will find weasel room in Scripture to justify the practices.
