I don't think gays should parent children, children need to have a strong male and female figure in their lives (mother and father).

Sounds like a good topic for a new thread. It would be nice to see real data on children being raised in gay and none gay house holds. My guess there want be a statistical difference in most outcomes.

My theory is that the homophobes are worried that children raised by gay parents will turn out to be gay themselves. Because, as we all know, children raised by straight parents always turn out to be straight, right? :wink:

Saw one study in which a family with a large number of sons tend to produce more gay males. Maybe its an evolutionary way of dealing with extra males in an isolated area.

America has a high birth rate compared to most modern industrial countries.
Which is part of the secret why we are growing faster economically than others. Some consider that a bad thing the global resources that we need to feed those new Americans that are being born everyday. But never fear most gays are willing to start families to.

The television and media have really brainwashed people lately. Homosexuality is not a culture and a new word should be found for their coupling unions. The principals and meanings of marriage have been severly watered down by adulterers, materialists and others.

I guess... but why would they want to enter a marriage if they are gay?

I'm sure a lot of litle girls have always dreamed of having a hige wedding ceremony etc. Why should being gay prevent them from having their dream come true?

oh ok,i wasnt sure on the tax cuts,and treated like everyone else they should be,its people not laws that makes them marry what is bothering them,i have no problem with them existing,now the adoption rights,in a moral point of view,a human being has to have a father and a mother because thats how things were made,if we change it problems can occur...this is not an issue to debate,if u are gay and want to adopt a kid with your partner first you will have to kill billions of people like me that wont let you,never will happen,again unless you kill us.

Actually, being Homosexual is natural reaction to overpopulation. In a gay relationship one partner tends to become more feminine then the other so it balances out. (See The Birdcage)

By your logic we shouldn't even have society because it's "unnatural". Everyone should live and die like animals.

Even if, and this is a big if, you think that marriage has to be between a man and a woman. The fact of the matter is that there is no sane argument one can make that they should not be entitled to the same sort of tax laws and the like.

It is completely unreasonable to be making laws based on one particular religion. To deny them rights because they make you feel 'icky' is wrong on so many levels.

Many of the arguments against gay marriage sound a lot like the arguments against allowing whites to marry non-whites 50 years ago...

(and they make about as much sense)

pretty much! which is why i automatically describe such views against gay marriage as homophobic.....because it basically is and shows a prejudice.
