Then why not limit marriage to fertile man-woman couples? I'm 50, have had a vasectomy, my girlfriend is also 50, and post menopause. Would anyone here limit our right to marry?
Rhetoric that says that homosexuals want to destroy an institution by joining it is bound to fail. Promiscuous homosexuals have no more interest in marrying than do confirmed bachelors. And I have yet to see any way that someone else's "marriage", or civil union, or domestic partnership takes anything away from a man and woman who want to live a traditional style of life. The fact that you can get a quickie marriage and divorce in Nevada does not take a single thing away from people who view and live marriage as a lifelong commitment between themselves and their deity.
I've pinged somebody who may have the quotes available.
Rosie appears to have a lot of the inner conflict mentioned in the article. It's too bad she listens to all the wrong people.
I've only seen some salacious previews here and there. From what I've seen that show is quite disgusting.
Clear, concise, logical and reasonable argument, and that's why the pro gay marriage supporters are trying to frame this debate by emotional arguments.
Good points--and ones I am receptive to as well. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not judges. Gays need to make their case in the court of public opinion--they could sway opinion to their side (but really--when you see a couple of guys at the altar, that's just sick (confirmed homophobe))
That is a sad situation indeed. What I find hypocritical are those who say men in that position were gay all along and cannot become heterosexual again. It's too bad we've slid so far down the slope.
I think the point of the article is that they don't actually want marriage/unions for themselves. Rather, they want to destroy the institution of marriage for everyone.
I guess the answer is to not go to any homosexual weddings. I also feel that the people should decide, not the courts, but I can imagine that majorities in the blue states would be supportive of civil unions. What I would oppose is a Supreme Court opinion that legalized gay marriage throughout the land, but I think it's coming within five to ten years.
Very good article.
No matter what earthly legal label they put on their sin, it will never be acceptable by God, and sadly, they will stand before Him one day and be truly Judged. And so will the so-called churches that condone their sin.
God help us.
I don't know if that's true but it's definitely something to consider.
And I have yet to see any way that someone else's "marriage", or civil union, or domestic partnership takes anything away from a man and woman who want to live a traditional style of life.
One argument I've seen is that gay marriage might cheapen traditional marriage as counterfeit money might cheapen real money. Realizing you've seen this before, I think some readers may not have seen this.
Some see gay marriage as opening a door to any type of marriage:
Here's a link with some additional thoughts: Questions and Answers: What's Wrong With Letting Same-Sex Couples "Marry?"
I have a good friend who is homosexual, though he dated girls in HS and was married and has a grown son. We were talking the otherday, and though I really had no great interest, he took the time to enlighten me about all his recent sexual activities. It was almost like he was driven to let me know just how much sex he was 'enjoying' with his numerous friends and numerous strangers. A little later we were talking about my marriage and he said he envied me because I was one of the lucky ones who had had that one great love affair in my life. He remarked that he was still looking for that. I had to bite my tongue to keep from telling him he wasn't going to find that at the bath houses and gay bars. It is really sad to see someone you care about sink into that hell hole of the hedonistic, live for today, physical pleasure at any cost queer lifestyle.
sure! of the 5%, (and thats liberal) of the homo sexuals, they are hardwired wrong. they do exist.they are real. for the balance its choice, and they are very vocal. ....wananbes
I go through the site every now and again. Here's something from their first FAQ (Did you choose to start feeling same-sex attraction or just choose to start acting upon it?):
People who believe they only chose to start acting upon same-sex attraction do not usually consider themselves queer by choice. Those of us who do consider ourselves queer by choice usually mean that we chose to start feeling same-sex attraction.I don't see that as a political choice. What FAQ are you reading?
Yes it is. If you think he would be interested in watching a video on the story of 5 ex-gays, take a look at Dr. Throckmorton's video: I Do Exist. It's a 52 minute video that might help...
I disagree, and I've never seen any science supporting a hardwiring among gays. In fact, even homosexual activists and scientists have stated there is no hardwiring involved. It's quite a complicated subject.
look to nature,
it does exist,
and when another male tries his stuff on another male, its a huge fight. some fight to the death.
stupid earthling humans!
.....father to son, nephew etc
redefine " dad, you're the best!"
