actually, that is more revisionist than fact. The anicient Athenians would stone to death sodomites caught with children.
Much of the notion of ancients accepted it is been the product of homoactivists who have tried to support their position of "normalcy". In fact the homo-activists never say that Alexander the Great's wife and son are burried in Pella Greece, in the province of Macedonia.
Nor do they mention that many of the scholars who want to normalize homosexuality have conveniently confused the greek word for "mentor" with the word for "lover". The ancient greeks had multiple words for the degrees of love from the uncondidtional to the mere physical.
You can't use ancient societies, even the romans, because their views of homosexuality were different from modern. For example the ancients thought of it as a LEARNED behavior not a born behavior. In fact much of the world still thinks of homosexuality as a mere behavior and they laugh at the western notion of "born that way"
I think our vanity poster would do well to focus on that fact. Homosexuals are seeking marriage ratification based on a sexual behavior alone. The "test" for marriage will become "pop an orgasm". Many behaviors are outlawed. Homosexuality and marriage is no different than brother sister marraige, dog human marriage, human machine marriage.
Amen and thank you for a great lesson in this day and age
when some believe anything goes. It's not normal and your comparisn to the forbidden brother/ssister marriage is an excellent example. Marriage has always been between a man and a woman and to form the protective relationship to procreat and raise the children created in a proper atmosphere to develope into strong adults. Maybe he should point out to these nitwits that all types of animals bond for life to the Opposite sex wether its penquins or ducks or us. Homosexuality is not normal and does not deserve the protection of Marriage.
"The anicient Athenians would stone to death sodomites caught with children. "
Conversely, the Spartans actually encouraged the practice as a means of fostering closer personal ties within a military unit, a prime requirement for military discipline in the phalanx. The amount of sodomy in the Spartan military academies was legendary,and there are thousands of written accounts on the very subject (homosexuality as a military training tool).
I would suggest that you find another historical example to make your argument.
P.S. I'm not in favor of homosexual marriage, just being intellectually honest, that's all, PROMISE!
