"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
“I believe in people’s right to choose a partner that they love, and that’s a decision that I have come to, and I have felt that way for a long time.”
And who is to say that gays can’t choose their partners if Proposition 8 passes? They’re still free to commit themselves to one another in marriage if they want. They just won’t have the state recognizing it, and nor will they be tossed all the goodies conferred in marriage.
And why should they be? They contribute nothing special back to society. No children. No future future workers or tax payers. If anything, they might steal a bisexual away from a heterosexual relationship and create fewer.
Why am I supposed to be impressed by gay relationships? I’m not. Sorry. I’ve been into dozens of gay bars/bookstores/coffee shops with a gay roommate. I’ve seen far more depravity, cheating, and week-long relationships than I’ve seen anything wholesome. And we’ve seen how well those gay relationships hold up (poorly) and how rarely they occur in Europe.
So why should I care about sewing the seeds of destruction in heterosexaul relationships. Why should I have Johnny’s parents being forced to tell him, “Well, son, if you choose to marry a girl, you can have children.” It dampens the inevitability of child-rearing in heterosexual relationships, and that may be the biggest crime of all.
