[H. Paul Pressler IV]

I have friends and relatives who have been married and divorced three and four times and I also know gay couples that have been together more than 25 years.

I have much more respect for those that can hold their relationship together 20 years than I do those who are in divorce court every four years.

How is it that you are still on this board, Paul? Do you even realize that this is a message board for conservatives? There is another board, slightly less popular, of course, that caters to the pro-homosexual agenda.

Good for you and your moral relative opinion. Holding a homosexual 'relationship' together means nothing 'good' to me regardless the 'bad' you seem to justify it with.

That's interesting, because nearly all the married couples I know have been together forever. Clearly you hang out with the wrong people.

I have friends and relatives who have been married and divorced three and four times and I also know gay couples that have been together more than 25 years.

So?

The general principle (society is better served by limiting marriage to male-female unions) isn't disproved by a anecdotal counter example ("I know a gay couple that, for all I know, has been faithful for 25 years") cherry-picked to make the point.
