I do not understand why people are so afraid of gays or gays in mainstream culture. Are you afraid it is going to turn you gay? I have known a few gay guys, they were all nice guys...and contrary to popular belief they are not trying to convert anyone.
One of the biggest homophobes was FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, he attacked gays viciously. Then it turned out he was gay. His own insecurity made him lash out against other homosexuals.
As a Christian I am disgusted by the way gays get treated by the relgious right. Straights do the straight thing, gays do the gay thing. Everyone is happy. I read that scientists are close to isolating the sexual preference cromosome. So that leaves biblical hard-liners with two choices: God created gays, meaning they are not sinners...or evolution does exist.
Personally I believe most gays are born homosexual while some others become gay through their environment. As for those who are born gay...it is likely another one of nature's methods of population control.
To get to the main point. The state has no right to say gays should not marry. The state is a secular body--meaning the bible can not be used to stop gay marriages--and the state is obviously not allowed to discriminate. The grounds for a state marriage should be two loving and consenting adults.
Spoken like a good little converted boy....obviously not a very good looking boy though if you haven't been hit on. Funny thing, I was hit on a lot by homosexuals when I was younger, they didn't even believe the "born that way" story back then. I would tell them I was straight and that wouldn't stop them. They would usually use the same line, "How do you know unless you try it?". My standard response was that I had never jumped off a building but somehow knew instinctively that I wouldn't like it. They would usually continue with the bullshit. I worked at an art supply store where I was friends with both men and women homosexuals, two of my closest friends were a lesbian and the other a male homosexual. I spoke to them a lot about their lifestyles, that is usually what they wanted to talk about. The lesbian got married every weekend to some stripper usually(she claimed most strippers are lesbians)and divorced her on Monday....cute. The guy was a bath house fanatic spending weekends there and participating with as many as 20 partners in those weekends....he died at 35 a few years ago.
I was dating a woman at the store when a lipstick lesbian decided she would go after her. She would constantly ask her out, have 2 dozen roses delivered numerous times a week, and constantly talk me down to her. She knew this woman was straight and yet it made no difference, that made her even more attractive to her. My girlfriend and I had a fight and that was all it took, that lez pounced on her and took her out drinking, she hadn't had a drink in a long time and here was her relapse. She returned to a desperately destructive alcoholic lifestyle as this jerk took advantage of the situation.....she died 3 years ago in a drunken stupor, ran into a concrete wall. Even though I had moved away, I had remained friends with her and saw her life go down the drain, she never forgave herself for what she had done. I don't know what happened to that stinking lesbian but if I ever see her again I will deck her.
Another woman I dated worked with a couple of homos, they were nice enough except they were always trying to talk me into there way of life. She and I would go to their parties and it was amazing to see the amount of drugs and alcohol pushed at them. I made the mistake once of drinking some of the punch, within 10 minutes I was tripping on acid, who knows what had been put in that punch. I can certainly see how this could be used to take advantage of the unsuspecting.
I am not afraid of homosexuals, but I am afraid of how I have seen, in the course of my lifetime, an acceptance of this lifestyle as normal. You would be a great example, your naive attitude makes you a perfect target. I have made sure my nieces and nephews know what my experiences have been and warned them that others who fall for the "just experimenting" bullshit could carry the diseases that are so prevalent in that nasty ass lifestyle back to their unsuspecting straight partners further down the road. I was lucky enough to be raised at a time where these people were known for what they were and so I was smart enough to keep them at arms length, today is a different story for the kids growing up around the new attitudes about them. Hell, there are better drugs to knock kids out completely so that they can be totally taken advantage of, go ahead and pretend that this isn't true, one morning you may wake up with a lot of pain and it won't be from a doctor's prostate exam.
The gay lifestyle is full of promiscuous sex that leads to STDs and the spread of AIDs. The homosexual lobby is so powerful that this country couldn't even set up a quarantine to keep these deviants from spreading this DEADLY disease back when it might have made a difference.
Suicides are also prevalent in this ''happy'' lifestyle, so is domestic violence, especially in the lesbian population. The likelyhood of dying much earlier than straights is another wonderful aspect of this ''happy go lucky'' lifestyle. Sure, there are the lucky few that live a long healthy life but a great many lose ther ability to hold in there own waste because of the wrong usage of that particular part of the anatomy, they are rewarded with wearing diapers the rest of there life(shows the difference between correct following of original design properties and the wrong use of parts that aren't designed for it) .
Go ahead 1549, try it, I just know you'll love it.
