Same-sex marriage ban may affect you someday

then I stand corrected.

[Joan Kerrey]

You need to get behind the facade...

No thanks but I'm not so sure I'd want them behind mine either.

[Joan Kerrey]

So. Persist in your fantasies. But my right is to refuse to participate in them.

Somewhere I think we got lost in the text. I'm not defending gay marriages and believe as you do that marriage should be just as you describe. I think I was attempting to question the charge that those outside of marriage aren't capable and shouldn't be allowed to raise children. I'm suggesting that there are thousands out there who don't fit the mold who could and would raise a child in a loving enviroment. Gay, straight, married, single shouldn't be the only criterion when so many children are alone, unloved and will never have a chance in life without the help of those willing to help but are denied the opportunity.

I am in full agreement that the ideal situation is for a loving married couple to raise a child. I do believe however that there are millions of kids who will never be part of that perfect family and we shouldn't write them off simply because the perfect married couple is not available.

Can a "transgendered" woman become pregnant? Can a "transgendered" man father a child?

"Biologically" not, but legally yes. These days the courts have power to declare such things same way as two men to be "married".

This is nothing new, after all Caligula made his horse to be a Senator.

The state does not grant favor on marriage because the state wants to promote "love". The state enjoys a benefit from procreative couples bringing on the next generation of citizens - and therefor encourages procreative unions. A same sex union would do nothing of the sort, and so the state does not encourage such unions. Gays are boringly stupid about this fact.

[August West]

The stats I've seen (here on Free Republic) said child molesters are 30 TIMES more likely to be "gay" than straight. The homosexual agenda gets around this by saying ANY act of child molestation, by it's very nature, can not be gay - even if the child is of the same sex as the perpetrator. (Huh?) The fact that you mention "orientation", shows you have internalized a bit of the (what used to be ultra-radical, but is now mainstream) "gay" agenda. There is nothing sexual about what they do. In my book, they are perverts; if they share their perversion with the world, they are jerks. (They might worship and abuse each other's body parts, but I will not worship or respect that.) To be honest I avoid working, associating, or treating them with respect. I will not let them teach my children, nor will I allow my child to associate with them or their homoadopted children.

Wow, such honesty about staunchly resisting this militant enemy is rare these days - and much needed. The only way the homosexual flood will be stemmed is not by legislation alone (or primarily - it has been said that when laws are needed for an issue, the battle is already being lost), but by society's members steeling themselves against this PC poison and saying, unpopularly, that we won't have any of it. No explanation, no debate... because those committed to perversion will not be swayed by the most potent argument against them or by the most self-evident natural truths. We used to be a country of few laws, but with a cultural framework of morality that restrained evil.

[Bubba_Leroy]

So are you saying that those 10% are naturally homosexual?

It was a joke, dude. Chill.

It is a variation of an old Clinton joke. It wasn't his fault. He didn't want to have sexual relations with that woman. He just got sucked into it.

[reg45]

Gender is just a bunch of stereotypes from society

That's the stupidist thing I have ever heard. Gender existed for millions of years before society ever developed.

[savedbygrace]

Mr. Friedlander has a problem with basic logic.

Problem with it? He doesn't appear to have so much as the faintest relationship or familiarity with it.

[durasell]

Really dumb article. Passing or not passing a law isn't going to change anyone's attitude.

Gay people who aren't welcomed in their home town/state will do what they've been doing for years -- move someplace where they can live their lives as they see fit.

[IIntense]

...we have been repeatedly denied the opportunity to vote and prove it.

We're with you, Radix. All eyes are on Massachusetts. What each state decides on controversial issues like this one affects the entire U.S.

Some of your congressional members should have been "thrown overboard" a long time ago. They are, IMO, an abomination.

[IIntense]

...visitation is separated from child support... It is not in the best interests of the child.

I can understand the reason for that conclusion. It's an easy cut-and-dry formula for a family court's decision. Yet, when it comes to a serious consideration of other factors, of which there are a number, the same court does not always rule in the best interest of the child. Each situation deserves to be looked at thoroughly.

My advice: don't do anything that will land you in court if you don't want the judicial system deciding for you.

I'm preaching to the choir LOL.

[IIntense]

...but by society's members steeling themselves against this PC poison, and saying, unpopularly, that we won't have any of it.

August West stepped right out there and spoke his mind. While I agree that homosexuality is unnatural and active homosexuals indulge in pervert acts, I haven't been as forthright as August West.

Yet, when I recall a case in 2005 where David Parker asked to be notified when homosexuality would be a subject in his son's kindergarten class, he was arrested because he refused to leave school property until he got an agreement to that. This occurred at the Estabrook School in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Yes, the queer crowd has an evil agenda and they've got too many of the misguided and dangerous PC advocates behind them. They deserve to be shunned...nothing else is working!

Mitt vs. Mass.: Slams state on gay weds in nod to national GOP
By Jessica Fargen
In a passionate pitch simulcast to millions of Christian conservatives across the nation, Gov. Mitt Romney blasted gay marriage in Massachusetts as a danger to kids and urged the passage of a national ban on same-sex marriage.

 

 

The Boston Herald for whatever reason is always trashing Mitt Romney. 

 

Here is today's Mitt slam.
