There are off the charts Boy Scouts and Knights of Columbus, for Christsakes. Every group has it's extremists. No one bothers me personally. If someone ever got in my face with their message, that might get a little uncomfortable, for everyone concerned. I like to safely watch idiots dressed like jackasses supporting a cause on television if I choose, and then shut it off and take the dog out for a walk when I've had enough. That's about the extent at which I get exposed to these people.Same with politicians that I disagree with - game show hosts, guests on talk shows, etc. Shut them off and be done with them.
Well, this isn't just about you. It's about a radical fundimental change to the nuclear family and that society should have a chance to weigh in on depriving CHILDREN (what this is about) of either a mother or father for life, as a brand new institution of law.
Before it was merely a problem, a stastistical bane to society that a child would be motherless or fatherless. Now it is a physical binding law that children be so disenfranchised for life, without the possibility of parole..
The 'statistical bane' you're speaking of is the product of your own lies. Not any study.
And you know -Know- that your proposals to deny marriage to same sex parents will hurt tens of thousands of children and help none. Yet you're more than willing to hurt any number of children if it lets you hurt gay people too.
No thank you. Your illness does not translate into our crisis.
Again, wanting children to have both a mother and father is not "an illness". If it was, the vast majority of the country, including many gays, would be mentally ill by your definition. I hardly think that's the case. Again, why are you afraid of a referendum on the question?
The question isn't whether or not society should legitimize inferior situations for children simply because they exist. Untold hundreds of millions of children into the unforeseen future would be vastly more harmed by taking the bane of a motherless or fatherless child and making it a matter of law that cannot be undone! That's their sentence for life; with no possibility for parole.
Your "logic" is like saying "well, it's better to have a child adopted by wolves than to have no family at all.". No, we don't make laws that bind around situations even a submoron could predict will be harmful to that child. Shall we ask Dolce and Gabbana what they think? Or are they beaten back sufficiently as to retract their original statement that children deserve both a mother and father...like they had...and Elton John had...and David Furnish had...?
