    I want it legal in all 50 states. I just wish the marriage term was reserved for Christian weddings.

    But hey Muslims and atheists already get married every day, so why keep the gays from doing so? It doesn't make sense.


    I hate these smaller, distracting issues that my generation attempts to keep in the spotlight while the country meanwhile goes down the ****ter. Legalize pot and treat it as tobacco, let gay marriage be legal nationwide, and lets actually turn our focus to the matters that can save this country.

    Homosexuality isn't normal, but it's nowhere near the negative stigmatism it used to carry. I could not care less about affording gay couples the same rights as straight couples legally speaking.

    As much as homosexuality repulses me, your comment in untrue. There are amphibians who change sex in order to procreate. Deer, dogs, monkeys have all been observed attempting to mount other same sex animals just because of hormonal instinct. Obviously they do not care about social ramifications...so this behavior can be considered normal (for some).

    In ancient times, it was common for men to "lay" with each other. Royalty individuals had male and female concubines (Alexander and such).

    Your letting your christian upbringing and beliefs cloud what is scientific fact and confirmed history.

    So the comparison is having parents filming gay porns in the house and swinging all over town and run a gay porn shop out of the house?

    Why the extremes. My reply way a little tough and cheek. Lighten up. It a forum and I can't get at you and you can get at me so cut the smack talk tough guy. WTF.

    Animals of the same sex mount others to show dominance over the other, not as a life style.

    "Normal" is defined by society.

    Society changes.

    If not, african americans would still be considered 3/5th of a man.

    Pedophilia might be a sexual orientation, but I do not foresee a change in the laws of consent in the future.

    Sorry. Afflicted's absurd comments this morning have my jimmies all kinds of rustled.

    Not surprising that you're a bigot and racist hiding behind the religious shield.

    Your statement about Native Americans is equivalent to saying "I'm glad Sam hunts, it keeps him from eating all the watermelon and chicken."

    What extremes? You said you would rather drug addicts or parents that beat you as parents than gay parents? I'm not making up extremes. Is there a nicer version of parents beating you than I'm aware of? Are drug addicts generally good parents?

    Pretty sure dominance plays a part with human homosexual behavior as well...

    Siman, there are amphibians that "change sex" to procreate. If the animal has the ability to change sex, how is that homosexuality? In ancient times, in some societies, it may have been common for man to lay with man, or for royalty to have concubines, but that did not make in normal behavior outside that society. To blur lower conscious animals display of dominance over others with a non-normal lifestyle where the homosexual activity is the only act, is different all together.

    So your admitting its up to society to define normalcy?

    Well guess what....homosexuality is accepted by mainstream society, and has been for a few years.

    Sooo.....

    One of my favorite pastimes is pointing out your absurd and hypocritical comments, what can I say?

    Ahhhhhh, I get it now. It's ok to make racist jokes, as long as you ask God to forgive you. Yeah, I don't think it's me that needs to get out more. The world is an awesome place. Personally, I like to enjoy it, instead of worrying about what other people do that has no effect on my life.

    If gays could impregnate the other and have kids, then it could be considered normal. Until then , it is NOT normal behavior.

    You loose credibility when you are arguing for liberal views when you use the word "retard". That is just as bad as me calling you a ***! I have a nephew with Downs Syndrome, and I have gay friends that have adopted 3 boys all with Down's. Pretty sure none of us appreciate it when people use that word as a derogatory term for someone who you feel is below your intelligence level.
