Quote# 80250

Gays have every bit as much right to get married as you or I. And in fact, they should.

A homosexual man has an identical right to take a woman in holy matrimony as may any other man. Likewise, the rest of us have just as little right to take some guy and pronounce him a bride. This isn't a question of differing rights. Our rights remain in perfect symmetry. Homosexuals are now and always have been permitted to marry[...]

It doesn't matter how many moral lines are breached, the homosexual activists will keep agitating because it's not persecution they resist, but internal loathing projected outward. Social mores are merely a scapegoat. Tradition and virtue represent punching bags on which to relieve their rage. In truth, the Left wants not for gays to marry so much as to abolish the very concept of marriage.

Marriage is the foundation of coherent society and the conduit distilling our fallen natures into civilized community. Many studies reveal the correlation between marriage and everything from income generation, our children's academic achievement and lower crime rates. Undercutting the family exemplifies folly. The conventional family offers society its best chance to excel[...]

Rather than seek to undermine such a foundational institution necessary for healthy society, homosexuals ought to get married. Marriage would temper their urges and channel their desires into something beneficial for both them and society at large.

Boring arguments from a boring man with a boring life. Do everyone a favor and get yourselfs some originality.

You are not an American thinker. Do not even THINK that you are an American thinker. Real Americans aren't bigoted morons. That's my stance and I'm sticking to it.

I guess I'm just dumb because I'm still waiting for swomeone to explain to me how allowing a small percentage of the population to engage in gay marriage constitutes "undercuting the family."

I seem to recall similar arguments about interracial marriage and how it was going to mongralize the races as well.

Then and now conservatives have their heads firmly up their asses.

Ignoring the anti-gay idiocy for a moment, I'm deeply offended that he thinks a woman is some kind of appliance, that won't mind being hitched to a man who doesn't have any interest in her. Of course, that is the biblical view- women are chattel, to be handed out to any guy who works 7 years in your fields.

Then how about letting them get married TO PEOPLE OF THEIR OWN GENDER, since they are clearly NOT attracted to the OPPOSITE gender? Fucknut.

Yeah, because a gay person getting into a straight marriage has never ended in disaster, heartache, and emotional trauma before... EVER. That's *totally* healthy and not horrible, horrible advice...

The only people who seem to want to destroy families are homophobes/Christians. They want to prevent gay people from having or being part of a family. If that's not family destruction, I don't know what is.

"Marriage would temper their urges and channel their desires into something beneficial for both them and society at large."

I don't know about you, but being legally wed to a woman wouldn't stop me from having sex with my significant other. ;)

You have the same right to have sex with a man as any other man. Why haven't you exercised that right? Also you have the same right to be muslim as anyone else so why are you fundies whining about being persecuted christians?

calm down there, douche. I'm not going to take the time to refute you...you're just not worth it. but what about the poor gay husband's wife? what about their future kids? hmm?

I hate this argument. Getting married doesn't really work if you aren't attracted to the opposite sex, you douche.

If you don't care about gays/lesbians, then at least care about their potential spouses who would wind up in loveless marriages without sex (I'm sure you don't care about potential wives...after all, women don't like sex, right?) (or lesbians who might end up being raped).

Marry a woman you don't love at gunpoint and MAYBE you'd have an argument. In the meanwhile...........

Aaah yeah, the gays totally should get married to women!

Because no way does that lead to wasted lives and broken families when they finally admit it's not them and they are not happy and they go and settle with someone they WILL be happy with.

No way is that unfair to the women, but then again fundies don't and never did give two shits about women anyway.

So gay men just haven't met the right woman. Wow, I've never heard such a profound argument before. Clearly you have put a lot of thought in research into this issue before shooting off your mouth like an ignorant, pretentious dick-head!
