I wish everyone, in this politically correct world, would realize one thing. As recently as 10 years ago, you would not have gotten in trouble for expressing an opinion that marriage is or should be between 1 man and 1 woman.

How did we get to the point where expressing the opinion that marriage should be a man and a woman is hateful to the homosexual community?

I know it’s PC to say that we should have homosexual marriage and all that. I just don’t understand how this movement has moved so swiftly, that it’s now controversial to say that marriage should stay a man and a woman.

You are from the real world, eh?

Keep in mind that this is from the University scene-ivory tower Liberal. But, why does this professor get pegged with having it in for gays, lesbians or anyone. It’s not as if he asked to have gay students kicked out of class! He has a legal opinion and it should be treated no differently than another professor arguing a point about pharmaceutical liability.

The critical problem here is that Liberal orthodoxy squelches discussion on certain “sacred cow” subjects, which often characterize frivolous claims of insult as Civil Rights crises.

Support for homo marriage is indicative of the Leftist rot which has grown in our institutions these past 70 years.

I maintain that once governments violate Natural Law and our Unalienable Rights with increasing frequency, the end of civil government is in sight.

Homo marriage is an abomination and affront to Natural Law. There is no God given “right” to perversion and certainly no right for gays to marry.

My pet theory: anti-discrimination laws, rules, and lawsuit threats cleared out any organizational opposition to homosexual politics within businesses, movie studios, newspapers and universities. These urban or college town institutions set the trend for the country. Colorado's Amendment 2 was the last stand.

Also, childless homosexuals have more time and money to spend on politics and activism. They have less to risk in low-income, high-influence positions like grad student, actor or journalist.

The same erotic networks spread not only HIV and other nasty bugs, but also political solidarity. It'll get worse before it gets better.

For example, the Denver Metro Young Republicans hold many of their meetings at Hamburger Mary's, a diner devoted to gay camp. A GOP that tolerates Dick Cheney's position will fold quickly, unless a second front is opened within the Dems.
