> Well, I guess I made my point with my "pop up". Some words just slip out when you least expect them to. I have expressed my opinion about marriage. I think I have expressed it well enough. I have nothing against homosexuals, or lesbians.Could've fooled me!!I'm not feeling it!
It is their life. Let them do with it what they please.
Except marry!
I associate with all people and get along. I accept them, and I don't harbor feelings of hate or anger.
hmmmmmmmmm? I am definitely not feeling this one!
All's good. I am still for prop 8, and I really doubt anything will change my mind.That is apparent because of the questions here that have gone unanswered. I'm still waiting on how gay people are stealing black babydaddys!
Inflecting the word "marriage" with a new meaning would have the same effect as other inflections on words that change their meaning.Marriage means a union between two people! Right? How do you feel about interracial couples?
A thong is a shoe, a screw is a screw, and marriage is marriage. It belongs to tradition. GLBT have the rights of married folk,
Can't have insurance, can't visit in hospital and make decisions for mate, etc. etc. etc.
I don't see why they think they can alter the word, "marriage" to mean something opposite to which it was intended.How so?
Marriage has always meant Father and Mother. Seldom do a man and a woman marry and not get pregnant.
You're kidding!
It's not always a choice, it just happens.
Why is so much money spent on birth control?
And not just once or twice. It's natural and meant to be, it's the whole purpose for life.
No, the purpose of life is to be a good person, be tolerant, be loving, be honest, fair, etc!
You get born, then as you grow you learn how to be a mommy or a daddy by watching your own mommy and daddy.
hmmmmmmm. Children of gay couples don't get to watch and learn how to be a parent! They don't have grandparents and aunts and uncles..female and male role models?
You play house, as though you were the mommy or daddy, and learn how by developing those healthy emotions.
Gay couples don't buy playhouses?
You learn when you are a child that there will be certain things you will have to do with your life in order to become a mommy or a daddy when you grow up.
I can't believe that you think that everyone is hellbent upon being a mommy or a daddy. I can't believe that you think we're put here to procreate, come hell or high water!
You sacrifice and save for that special time, and one day it will happen, then the life cycle begins anew. There are a lot of people who still cherrish those basic values of life.
Those of us who don't have children are?
They are the ones who want to protect marriage and family, and keep it straight, meaning father, mother, and children. They also value cousins, aunts and uncles. They look forward to being grandparents.
Children of gay parents don't value their relatives and don't look forward to marrying and becoming grandparents?
They are the ones who don't want marriage to be mocked by the sealing of a woman to another woman, or man to a man.
I don't believe that you really are tolerant of as much as you say you are. In fact, I bet you do not have one gay friend. Not one that trusts you.
Let them live the way they want, but don't call it marriage.
Marriage! Still in the Sarah Palin groove. Ignore questions and say the "talking points" over and over.
