I wonder who recruited you to be a troll at FR.
Thanks for your reply. It is refreshing to see a post that doesn't attack one personally.
I see news reports almost daily about children starved and tortured, neglected, stuffed into closets and chained to beds in homes consisting of moms and dads.
Considering this I'd be willing to consider putting these unwanted children in homes whose occupants want them and are willing to love and care for them as the highest priority.
Homes with fathers and mothers living together doesn't guarantee a loving home as we see and hear in the news daily.
I wonder how many of you are homosexual or know homosexuals
I'm a 66 year old great grandma and yes I've known homosexuals and yes some were obnoxious and some were not.
I've found that the character of an individual determines a person's worth, not sexual orientation.
I worked with a number of gays over the years and a few were jerks and a few were not, kinda like straights I worked with. Not all have an agenda and not all are out after young boys.
Look for the good in people and you're likely to find it.
Answer me that, please.
Sorry unintended
Can a "transgendered" woman become pregnant? Can a "transgendered" man father a child?
Can a homosexual union produce children that they can "parent"?
So I guess couples who can't produce children aren't eligable either? If you can't reproduce you can't have children or shouldn't be married?
Well, keep it there :^)
He far overstated his case. Most are made, not born.
And even if one has the horrible misfortune of having been flooded with the wrong genes, does that then mean that we redefine marriage?
I don't think so.
That should have been "flooded with the wrong hormones!"
"So I guess couples who can't produce children aren't eligable either? If you can't reproduce you can't have children or shouldn't be married?"
Yeah, you're a whiz at illogic. Marriage is an institution because the union of one man and one woman is the only kind of union that CAN procreate, not because it happens in every specific relation. Marriage applies to the type of relation. Get it?
No, of course you don't. You think men and women can transmogrify. Apparently, if you defend this article, you believe people can also transcend their "age" and be any age they want. A teenage man can't transform himself into a 50-something woman. Ha-ha.
So. Persist in your fantasies. But my right is to refuse to participate in them.
child-molesters (who are OVERWHELMINGLY "gay")
I'm no expert but I think studies have not supported the above statement. I surely do agree that we should resist the radical gay agenda but I don't think all gays are radical either. I'm a 66 year old great grandma and have worked with enough gays in my lifetime to have learned that ones character is a more important factor in determining a person's value.
I've found that some gays are absolute jerks to be avoided just as some straights I've known. Orientation doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.
The author is basing his thesis on the hormonal balance of the individual in question; using this framework, we could design preference with supplements, one would think.
We know that the Spartan community was nearly 100% homosexual. Heterosexual sex was performed on the wives to breed additional soldiers but once they impregnated the women, they returned to the ranks. Homosexuality was believed to create greater cohesion among the troops.
Male children were taught at an early age that this was what would be expected of them as they matured. In other words, it was cultural. It was nurture - not nature. And history is replete with examples.
The Queers are throwing every single lie they can imagine at this Amendment.
And a LOT of advertising dollars, too--
But they're losing (last poll 10/1 likely voters, 53/47) and the electorate hasn't seen any PRO-amendment advertising. Zero. Zip.
Further, nobody's been paying much attention. Things will get worse for the Q's in October.
