Experts on animal behavior, that don't have an agenda, have said that the behavior in animals attributed to homosexual behavior is actually one animal exerting domination over another, kind of what assholes in prison do to weaker inmates.
I have always found it funny that the homosexual spokes people and defenders predictably try to use this behavior to prove that their behavior is natural because animals do it. Lions eat their young, chimpanzees play with their shit, cats give each other baths with their tongues, pedophiles molest children. All of these, although occuring in nature, are not actions any sane person would want to emulate. How can someone justify copying a chimp's dominate behavior over another as something normal for humans?
I would think that most people really don't care what others do in private, they would even tolerate it if it isn't constantly thrown in their face. That is the problem over anything else. If people that claim to be Christians rattle on and on about being saved and bother people to do the same they tend to not only bore but drive away others. My sister-in-law is a devout Christian, she lets her actions say who she is, she doesn't bother others with her story unless asked.....works a lot better.
This bullshit that is repeated over and over about all of the things that homosexuals don't get because they can't get married, is just that. If they want to let someone benefit from their death, see a lawyer, it is stronger than a marriage certificate. Look at Anna Nicole Smith, she was married to a very rich old man and he died. He left her his money and she has been in court for years because his actual son knows he was dillusional and she was basically acting as a prostitute to get his money, the marriage certificate doesn't insure anything.The only reason homosexuals want to get married is to feel better about themselves, to get society's approval. Society can't grant someone a true pride in who one is, only that person can give he or she that. I see no reason to change the word marriage to mean something different, go to a lawyer and do what is needed to secure relationship forever(or until the next hard body walks by), how is that different?
Mosts studies agree that a two parent family is the best for a child, a male and a female parent. Little girls naturally learn from their mother but their father is a huge influence on how she will do in future relationships. The same is true of boys. They need the strong male figure to emulate but the mother's influence is very important also. Sure, a child can turn out OK with only one or the other but that is not recommended for them to grow into a well adjusted adult . I see a huge difference between my brother's 3 daughters(raised by both parents), and my other brother's daughter(parents are divorced and she is living with her mother 250 miles away, she rarely sees her father).
