Don't you think it would be nice if gay men could just marry each other and get out of our hair? As it stands today, their only options are to pretend to be straight (and, like, marry your daughter or something), just give up and live a life of decadence, or make some kind of attempt at a monogamous family relationship in an antagonistic society that won't even let them adopt in most places.

Perhaps you deserve a less dimissive response that I am wont to give such nonsense, so here goes:

Gays, whether men or women, can and often do live in households that include children. This has been true for centuries.

But, at least in western societies, there has been tremendous pressure, perhaps more acutely brought to bear on these inclusive households, to keep up appearances.

Sometimes this was done by having marriages, often between gay women and gay men. Always the child was kept in the dark about adult sexual practices - a sensible approach.

This is now out the window with children brought up in overtly permissive - even promiscuous homosexual households. The jury is out on how this will work out in the longer run, but it won't be out for long. I don't think that the gay community will like what the jury will have to say when the results of this irresponsible experiment in permissiveness, decadence and bawdery have become too painful for society to overlook.

Homosexuality will forever be with us, but it needs to be kept off the streets, out of our schools, out of our civic life and, if not in the closet, then emphatically in the bedroom, doors locked and curtains drawn.

Any form of legitimization of the "gay lifestyle" is irresponsible social experimentation. This is going to bite us very hard before the story is entirely written.

What we are experiencing from the traditionalist Muslim communities around the world is only the first wave of reaction to the dissolution we see in our society.
