I agree that it deviates from the "norm." I, myself, dont find it attractive at all. In fact, I find it disgusting. But who the heck am I to judge what goes on in someone's bedroom.

I detest anyone parading their sexuality on the street...straight, gay, or whatever.

The part that gets me so frustrated is that in my business I have had occasion to meet and work with many, many gay men who have been in long term, dedicated relationships. They are good men. They just live differently from me. They don't like little boys, and they would never come on to a straight guy.

I dont understand why these people who have been together longer than I have been married (17 years) cannot share the same benefits (and legal ties) that I share with my partner.

Thanks VL for helping society try to make a mockery of the sacred union of man and woman. Thanks for trying to define marriage as everything until it means nothing. If you're not from Vermont, you should be.

The norming of homosexuality takes it out of the "privacy" of a bedroom. It puts homosexuality into classroom discussions, entertainment programs, and office environments.

"Privacy of the bedroom" is just a cover statement. They don't seem to be as much for pushing for the acceptance of all behavior that happens at home between consenting adults. The drug warriors, prostitution fans, incestuous admirers, polygamy supporters, etc. have to fight their own battles. The sodomites are on their way to being a uniquely protected class of individual. Persons who consider a sex act a unique trait like race,sex, or religion.

Some companies already offer same sex live-in partner benefits (unmarried people who are of the same sex enjoy this benefit while unmarried people who are of complimentary sexes do not).

Some homosexuals have said that they do not fully support same sex marriage being legalized because they feel that there would be a backlash agains the promiscuous lifestyle of some homosexuals. After all, if marriage is suddenly a legal option why are some homosexuals still "slutting" it up? Yes there are heterosexuals who have unmarried relationships and live-in relationships. The homosexual community has expressed some reservation to "settling down" though.

The attack on the institution of marriage is just another attack on the institution of the nuclear family (2 parents of different sexes raising a child).

Yeah, it's so reasonable that ALL the homosexual men you met casually and through work would reveal every pecadillo and illegal act involving younger boys! Of course, I'm sure every single one of them totally revealed his entire sex life to you.
