I just tell them I agree with Elton John on the subject...
"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. "You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."
informative post. thank you
I use that one as well and add that with marriage comes divorce. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.
BUMP for later.
Tell them to go screw themselves, and they say okay, thanks.
Or, you could point out that homosexuals are sick, disgusting perverts.
Very good post - thanks.
How to talk to Dems concerning same sex marriage. My advice is keep your back to the wall when attempting this. Otherwise, just leave them alone and they will die early without reproducing (the great hope for our nation).
Wonderful and well thought out and well referenced article.
I have one thing to comment on, in re:
“If they say that animals engage in homosexual behavior, you can reply that animals engage in many behaviors we wouldn’t want to copy; we have the capacity to operate on more than animal instinct.”
Animals don’t engage in homosexual behavior. In other words, they don’t have sex with each other. They may raise a chick together in some way, or hang out and bond together, or engage in some male/female behaviors from time to time. But not to the point of copulating.
If anyone out there knows differently, you can correct me, but every “gay seagull” or “gay penguin” story out there, when read, just shows some of what we think of gay acts - like preening or physically sleeping together. Not the sex behaviors we see in homosexual men and women.
Simple, John and James had no one, Mary and Jane had no one. John and Mary had thre little ones, Case closed..
“But not to the point of copulating.”
You’ve never had two male dogs have you? ...Not to dismiss your other points.
Thanks, NYer. I’m not good debater. This post is helpful.
“Youve never had two male dogs have you? ...Not to dismiss your other points.”
To be blunt, do the two male dogs have a*al sex?
Do they give each other b**w jobs?
Yes, they can hump on anything including the chair. But they are not having classic homosexual sex.
Tell a homosexual couple that all they can do is what the dogs do. They will not be happy. That was my point.
Very well written, well reasoned article. Thank You.
Yes to the first, anatomically impossible to the second. But, I digress. I just think there are better ways to make this arguement than what you were trying to say, since it isn’t true. There are primates/monkeys that have anal sex to establish dominance also.
Considering that 100%, or very nearly so, of homosexual lifestyles arise out of sexual abuse, that isn’t surprising. In any event, I’m not trying to start an argument, just making an observation. With all due respect, this issue goes deeper than making those types of arguments, because they aren’t true. Sexual deviance arises from abuse and mistreatment, NOT predisposition. It is, there for, able to be rehabilitated. But if you start pointing to animals, well, they in fact do engage in those behaviors, but we’re not animals.
I rest my case though.
The bonobo monkey engages in lesbianism, while using sex with males for reproduction and as a way to get the males to bring them food.
That said, we aren’t bonobo monkeys.
Exactly. I am well past the point where I'm willing to waste time with a well-reasoned, fact-based debate, the goal of which is to sway someone from their errant beliefs without hurting their tender feelings. I learned long ago that you know when you've defeated a CommieLib when they either start calling you names, or they simply keep repeating "no, you're wrong". Invariably, that's what happens.
The battle lines are drawn on homosexuality, as well as a host of other issues (gloBULL warming, gun control, illegal immigration, wealth redistribution, etc.). I'm past caring about being civil and persuasive; the time for that was 20 years ago when this nation still attached a stigma to homosexuality. The time has come to draw a line in the sand, and not back down one inch.
Homosexuality is a vile, disgusting, immoral, and destructive lifestyle choice. It has damaged the United States, and every patriotic America should be ready to fight to stop the further advancement of the homosexual agenda.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“The bonobo monkey engages in lesbianism”
To be specific, they engage in oral sex with each other? Or the use of props? If not, what do you mean by “lesbianism?”
