Gay marriages
- Thread starter alfonso
- Start date
I personally could care less what two people do in private. However, I disagree with allowing homosexuals to marry. Marriage is supposed to be a union between two people of the opposite sex. Two homosexuals can enjoy a "union" of some sort, but please don't call it a marriage.
As far as homosexuals being allowed to adopt a child, I am against that. That will definately cause problems for the child as he grows up -- not to mention the torment in Jr. High and highschool.
I recognize that being gay is a disorder within the brain or is caused by extreme sexual abuse at a young age. They shouldn't be made fun of or discredited in any way in our society. They can make just as good of a contribution as anyone else. I have some friends that are gay. When they hit on me, they are told in no uncertain terms that I am not interested. Otherwise we all get along just fine.

Let me rephrase that a different way.
Intelligence is a gray scale. From complete idiot, to average,
to super genius. This is not a black and white issue.
Even if you consider being stupid some kind of defect,
your a freaking idiot for hating alfonso for the same
reason you would be a freaking idiot for hating a gay person
with a "defect".

I agree. Hating someone with a prejudice is as ignorant as the prejudice itself.
In any case, gay marriage will eventually be a fact of life. Anyone who has a problem with it would do well to reconcile himself to the idea or make himself miserable.
That's like saying, "well, if we set a speed limit on this road, then some people are just going to break it, and we wouldn't want to force anyone to break the law, now would we??" Tolerance has to begin somewhere, my young friend...I agree that it would suck for the child, but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.
Now that's a pretty dumb thing to say. I know some really smart gay people -- they have alot more going for them than 99% of the other people I know. They've never been molested or harmed in any way, and came from good families which treated them well and were OK with them being gay. Most physicians truly doubt that sexuality preference is tantamount to disorder. There are tons of straight people who were molested as well; and tons of bisexuals. You're confusing the issue here. Being gay is not a direct result of molestation. True, other things are, like sexual ambiguity and some forms of bisexuality, but there is no proven link between sexual abuse and homosexuality, even though the bible-thumpers invent statements like that up all the time, claiming it's a "medically proven fact."
Unfortunately there are no independent auditors for christian fundamentalists, so until there are, you probably shouldn't pay so much attention to what they say (another laughable invention of theirs is the statement that abortion gives women a medically proven higher incidence of some forms of cancer -- not true AT ALL!! C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general (appointed by Reagan), despite being strongly anti-abortion himself and receiving strong pressure from right wing groups to do so, never asserted that abortions ever caused ANY health defects to women, simply because they do not).
Be careful what you hear...especially when it's out of the mouth of somebody with an agenda...like saving your soul, baby!!! hahahaaaaaaaa
Several posts have made the point that this is an issue of live and let live. I think that is inaccurate. I haven't read one response here that advocated any restriction on gays personal lifestyle.
That is not the issue. The issue, simply put, is should society announce in capital letters that it approves of homosexual lifestyles. That is why the well-funded and politically powerful gay lobby is pushing this issue so hard.

i am joining the dbphoenix and axeman WHY NOT? camp.
AAA, you are just not right on this one, dude.
p. s. aphexcoil, you are not beaten into homosexuality/bisexuality at a young age. rofl that is just ridiculous, dude! as axeman said, everyone has a sexuality scale. some people's scale is just mixed up gender-wise. i believe you are born with your scale setting. although i will admit, it's hard to prove this and i am open to changing my opinion if facts indicate otherwise. for myself, i'm an EXTREME HETERO (and i believe i was born this way)!
