So you are offended that someone may infer that you are gay for supporting the gay left.

interesting.

my thoughts...if you truly were open minded, it wouldn't bother you in any way if you were lumped in with the gay left.

I'm not offended by being called gay, I've been called gay quite a few times. But I'm a member of a different minority and I know what it's like to be excluded from society just because you are different, you don't fit in and you don't make many people feel comfortable around you.

I'm offended by people like you, because I can feel what it's like. Your use of the term gay implies that it is a negative thing, that it is corrupting society. I'm offended by your bigotry and lack of tolerance.

As for your attempt to justify gay marriage because your grandpa can't pro-create (Am I the only person who finds this vision of your grandparents trying to pro-create a little disguitsting?). Pro-creation is just one of many arguments against same sex marriages.

You keep expressing visual symbols to show your apparent distaste for, and fear of, sex in any form. You should really look into that; it might help explain why you believe the way you do. Sex is a natural act, even between old people.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Sex is a very natural act, we agree. I just place mmore importance on the idea of making love versus indiscriminate sex acts between two people.

Here's another heterosexual male wanting to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples.

Someone give me a rainbow pin and sign me up for the "gay left".
What kind of initiation's do they have?
Is there an oath? How about a secret handshake?

Can you actually tell someone you are a member of the "gay left" or
is it all hush-hush like AA: "Hi, I'm a friend of Blaine W."

Exactly. It's the same brush used to paint anyone opposed to Bush as terrorists. It probably won't be long before "Gay left" becomes "terrorist" as well ... terrorists against Family Values.

Would you say sex between Mother and Son is natural? Because if you leave a family of rats together guess what, they have sex.

The Simpsons are way ahead of you:

John Waters: Homer, what have you got against gays?

Homer: You know! It's not... usual. If there was a law, it'd be
against it!

It's also irrelevant. People's concepts of what is, or is not "natural" have nothing whatsoever to do with what is or is not Constitutional.

We are talking here about the relationship of a group of citizens to their government, and vice versa. Nothing more, nothing less.

No we are not.We are talking abour responsibility, cause and effect, and choice. We are talking about special rights for a faction that is upset because a black man can marry a white woman. We are talking about taking an age old institution and allowing a faction to molest it because they choose to sleep with people of the same sex. We are taling about one group's effort to redefine family and their effort to make gayness mainstream. We are talking about the gay left's effort to hijack America as they attempt to forcefully legitimize their behavior on our children.

Ummm, where to begin.

Homosexuality should be mainstream. Heterosexuality is mainstream so why not homosexuality?

This is not about telling children that "being a homo" is OK. This is about the government providng the same legal rights to one faction of citizens it provides to every other faction of its citizens.

Now, in doing so one of the consequences of making same-sex marriages legal is to make it seem more legitimate. But you as a parent, or future parent, are still free to tell your children that homosexuality is wrong and illegitimate behavior. I mean, that is your right, and responsibility, as a parent? Is it not? You will be responsible for raising any children you bring into the world, won't you?

So, regardless of what the laws say you can raise any children you do, or might have, how you want. People do that now, you realize. Some parents even raise their kids to think that homosexuality IS an acceptable form of sexual expression. GASP! I know, the horrors of it.

So, you raise your kids to be intolerant and I will raise mine, when I have some, to be tolerant. We will see who has more of an impact on our society for the next generation. Bookmark this post so we can come back to it in about 30 or 40 years. Deal?

How does one molest an "institution", a societal construct like marriage? Who actually suffers? Does marriage sit itself down on a park bench and have a little cry? Does it go to the doctor and have its wounds treated? Do people suddenly start getting divorced because their marriages are suddenly somehow meaningless?

Marriage is society giving people an outlet to proclaim their love for each other in public. Marriage is society recognising what it sees as an inherent value in two people who love each other being able to express that love publicly. I fail to see why any of that is invalidated by the two people in question have the same sexual organs. Society defines marriage and it dishes out marriage licences. Religious nutters are defending their own sense of morals. They are not defending the institution of marriage. Marriage cannot be molested or attacked!

Saying that marriage is being molested by gays is like saying that 15 year olds demanding drivers licences are molesting driving?

Try broadening youre horizons a bit. The issue of same-sex marriage might make the United States go to hell-in-a-handbasket but it is certainly NOT going to have that big an impact on the rest of the world. Come on, there are already a few countries out there changing their laws to make same-sex marriage legal and the world hasn't ended yet for their citizens. Why do you think it will happen for us?

So, what you're saying is that most people don't have enough inner strength to resist being "infected" with the homosexual "lifestyle", and you'll be the only straight person left on the planet? Homosexuals have been with us since the dawn of man, and they haven't managed to "infect" more than a couple of percent of the population yet. You're really giving them more power than they have, thanks to your irrational fears.

Let's hypothesize that your scenario comes true, and you're the only straight man left. If you're secure in your beliefs and actions, you won't have anything to worry about anyway, because you'll have lived your life according to your principles, and you'll be saved. What is the point of worrying about what others do?

Spoken like someone who probably doesn't have kids. You are aware of the pull the world has on young minds aren't you? Unless you cut your kids off from the outside world completely, they will be exposed to alternative views, opinions and morals. All of this thanks to the numerous, numerous outlets for it. TV, newspapers, magazines, radios, internet, billboards. All of this if not available at your house, is available at the store, a friends house, a neighbors house, a relatives house, walking down the street, riding in trains, plains and automobiles. Then if you do completely remove your child from society you're considered an extremist or nutter.

Do you hold the same opinions as your parents or were you influenced at some point by some outside influence?

You reap what you sow.

That statement shows exactly what you don't understand. You can't force someone to change their values; they have to do it of their own volition. What you're really afraid of is that you don't have the will needed to not change your values.

My issue is with the gay left and their agenda to force the gay lifestyle into mainstream America. My problem is with teaching children that it is okay to experiment and my problem is with legitimizing poor behavior. We shouldn't give the okay to behavior that not only shortens the lifespan of its participants, but behavior that is wrong and attributes to widespread STD's. This isn;t even to mention the long term harms of allowing this type of behavior to be persistent in society. This isn't to mention the fact that the institution of marriage would be weakened considerably and opeb for widespread abuse.

It is apparant that the gays have an agenda. Destroying marriage is first. then it will be to redefine family. Before we know it, they will be lobbying to clone and fight for more special rights as they continue to exploit true minorities in their effort to redirect the moral compass of America.

We already see gay groups such as NAMBLA...lobbying for man-boy relationships while other groups encourage teens to experiment and have promiscuos sex. It is twisted. Very twisted and if it weren;t for groups like Traditional Family Values, thwe deception of the gay left would remain intact and further infect mainstream society.

What I am saying is that sex is a powerful demon and there are too many horny kids out there that could use the legitimization of homosexuality in an effort to get their rocks off. You guys are the ones that compare homosexuality of the animal kingdom. If true, think of the horny dog who will hump inanimate object as well as anything with a heartbeat in order to feel good. Do you really want a society of dogs?

I don't have kids of my own yet but I do have several nieces and nephews for whom I am a frequent surrogate parent. And yes, I do have opinions different from my parents. But you tell me if that is a bad thing. Is it? Are you afraid that if you teach your children to think one way about homosexuality and society tell thems to think another way something bad is going to happen to them? I mean, if you raise your children to think homosexuality is one way (bad/good)and they eventually adopt the belief that it is actually a different way (good/bad) will you stop loving your children? Will you disown them? What will be the terrible consequences of your children holding beliefs different than you in regards to homosexuality, or specifically the topic at hand, same-sex marriage?

And yes, I am quite aware that you cannot block all external sources from influencing young children. However, my original point still stands. As a parent you do everything you can to raise a child with a certain set of values. And if you want to raise that child to believe homsexuality is wrong/bad/illegitimate then you certainly can. Now, if there are external influences telling the child otherwise you will need to address this discrepancy in values with your child.

However, if you want to discuss the "societal influence on children" angle in regards to same-sex marriage you better be willing to bring drinking, smoking, drug abuse, and the whole teen pop-culture phenomena into the discussion. Because these are external influences that parents aren't going to want young kids exposed to, are they? Do you know any parents who want their children exposed to relentless advertising that promotes "being cool" with drinking? I don't.

Spoken like someone who probably doesn't have kids. You are aware of the pull the world has on young minds aren't you? Unless you cut your kids off from the outside world completely, they will be exposed to alternative views, opinions and morals. All of this thanks to the numerous, numerous outlets for it. TV, newspapers, magazines, radios, internet, billboards. All of this if not available at your house, is available at the store, a friends house, a neighbors house, a relatives house, walking down the street, riding in trains, plains and automobiles. Then if you do completely remove your child from society you're considered an extremist or nutter.

Do you hold the same opinions as your parents or were you influenced at some point by some outside influence?
Your statement that children have many forces pulling on them is correct, as far as it goes. As the father of a lesbian, I don't know with 100% certainty if she is one because of cultural forces or genetic influence, but, when it comes down to it, I don't really care. I love her just the same, unconditionally, because she is my daughter. She's not harming anyone by being who she is, except for those who make a choice to allow themselves to get wrapped up in her business, because of their own insecurities.

The facts remain that homosexuality represents a tiny fraction of the population, has always represented a tiny fraction of the population, and will always represent a tiny fraction of the population, no matter what those who have irrational fears will propound.

What more people need to do is worry about having their own houses in order, instead of proclaiming others as impure.

This isn;t even to mention the long term harms of allowing this type of behavior to be persistent in society. This isn't to mention the fact that the institution of marriage would be weakened considerably and opeb for widespread abuse.

It is apparant that the gays have an agenda. Destroying marriage is first. then it will be to redefine family. Before we know it, they will be lobbying to clone and fight for more special rights as they continue to exploit true minorities in their effort to redirect the moral compass of America.

We already see gay groups such as NAMBLA...lobbying for man-boy relationships while other groups encourage teens to experiment and have promiscuos sex. It is twisted. Very twisted and if it weren;t for groups like Traditional Family Values, thwe deception of the gay left would remain intact and further infect mainstream society.
Wow, wow, wow, you do have issues.
Gays are around forever, since the beginning of humanity. If there were any negative side-effects from `having gays in society', the effects are already here. And they were there hundreds of years ago. Greek even advocated gay sex among soldiers.

Do you really want a society of dogs?
So you say, teens could try homosexual sex, coz they are so horny and can't find a partner of the other sex? BS, come on.

Gays and cloning?

Do you think the "gay left" agenda is to turn the whole world into a writhing den of hot, sweaty man-on-man love action via cloning? You really have lost your mind, dcolton. After that statement there is NO MORE possibility of logical discussion with you.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

And there is the crux of your issues. You don't have enough faith in humanity, or yourself, to resist this "demon," so you're going to be the one to declare that it's all evil, and kids shouldn't "get their rocks off." Homosexuality has been with us forever, and will be with us forever. Your constant use of graphic language is a clear sign of how much inner strength you have. I don't worry about what horny dogs do. I only worry about what I do.

You think that we aren't already seeing the effects of the gay culture and lifestyle? Do you own a tv? Read the paper?

I see. Okay, well I can't see that debate is possible with you. You're a lost cause. Anyone with that much ignorance and bigotry is beyond help. End of conversation from my perspective.

Absolutely. I have seen it happen and been involved with counseling kids who experiment this way. A hard on is a hard on for a horny teen. If some perverted man offered...well, think about it. Allowing gay marriage not only brings sex to its lowest level, but it also opens the door for gay pedophiles to manipulate horny teens.

Children who experiment with homosexuality are as small a percentage of the population as homosexuals themselves. Your anecdotal evidence does not extrapolate to the population at large. Your constant use of graphic language illustrates quite blatantly what you spend your time thinking about.

We can see that; it's quite obvious.

If there was an effect of the `gay left' on culture and lifestyle, you wouldn't notice. Coz it's been around forever.
