    Personally I'd take any of those over having gay parents but that's me.

    Most priest and ministers DO NOT MOLEST kids. That just what sells papers when they catch one just like most football players Murderers

    Sy Rogers gives his testimony of his dramatic conversion.



    We had a kid in my high school that was very Infeminist and so we either ignored him or picked on him and he's now living a gay life. Another kid was also a little gay acting and although we didn't seek his friendship he seeked ours and we excepted him and today he is married with kids.

    I believe God made us all perfect in his eyes.

    No. No way. No way, you, as a child, would rather a father beat you or drug addicted parents than having gay parents. No way. I can't even believe someone would even suggest this.

    I'm dumbfounded by this comment.

    Though I don't feel the word Marriage and same sex should be used together, I do believe this is the correct ruling. This is a win for states rights, and I'm all for that. Allow the states to manage what is not specifically called out in the constitution. Our federal government umbrella has gotten way out of control.

    My family is very dysfunctional but have two Dads or two Moms in my day you'd really be an outcast.

    Goes alone with the Cy Rodgers testimony and that maybe I played a part in a kid choosing a gay lifestyle because he behaved a little infeminant and mis treated him in high school.

    God see sin as sin no gray areas. We all fall short of the glory of God.

    So you would be more worried about what a few ignorant rednecks thought of your family than having drug addicts as parents and always worrying if they were going to feed you, sale you, or come home?

    That is just sad.

    Wow. You really believe that because you didn't befriend the kid, he became gay?

    As far as homosexuality being normal, you are wrong. Whether you are a Theist or evolutionist, the two sexes are designed for procreation. There is not an animal out there where the female of the species lives and reproduces with other females or the males live and reproduce with males. Therefore it is not normal, it is abnormal. What we are doing here is taking one more step away from the path of morality. Next it will be pedophilia and what other perverted abnormal behavior demanding that they were born this way and have a right to do their thing. If two homosexuals want to have their private life, so be it, but don't demand that others accept your non-normal behavior.

    I cannot comprehend why people always bring up marrying animals, pedophilia, etc when talking about homosexuals. Can you people not comprehend what consenting adults mean? Seriously?

    Earlier you argued it was normal, when shown that it is not normal you now argue it's a "consent" issue. Is that now the base for this discussion?

    I've been anxiously following this waiting for a motown comment. Gotta say I'm disappointed so far.

    While I'm repulsed by the idea, and personally feel that the word marriage means something else, I couldn't care less about what they do and it doesn't affect me. While I'd like to see a word other than marriage used, I do feel that everyone should be able to have the same rights. I think it was mentioned earlier, but maybe we change the word for legal purposes for both traditional and gay marriages to legal union, etc. With all that said I think there are far more important things I think we need to worry about as a country.

    Define normal. Homosexuality is common enough these days, that yes, I would define it as normal. Homosexual behavior has been observed in all kinds of animals, not just humans.

    I bring up consent when you retards try to compare homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality.

    Your point that there is a fundamental difference between them because one is consensual and the others aren't is, of course, valid. I don't consider them the same at all. I posted the article I did because the so-called experts are now trying to say that pedophilia may be a sexual orientation. That single point, in and of itself, links it to this debate. I never implied that the two were the same. I simply asked if anyone could ever see a point in the future where we would be forced to accept even this behavior as normal.

    Oh, and "retard"? Really? Whatever, dude.

    It is becoming more accepted. But, to ever call homosexuality normal or natural behavior is an extreme stretch in my opinion. I may be more tolerant of it some day, but, I don't think I will ever consider it to be normal or natural.
