did I say anything about religion? I just think that gays should stop pushing their life style on others. do I go around trying to force my sexual preferences on others? no, I don't.
I think gays and others should be allowed the legal protections assigned to a civil union. I don't necessarily believe it should be called a marriage.
one aspect of all this you turn a blind eye to is the religious groups... they have rights too you know. whether we agree or not...
they have the right to be married and not have homosexuals trying to force acceptance of the gay lifestyle upon them. just as sowell states.
why must I be, or anyone else be forced to accept homosexuality? must I be forced to accept eating pussy if I disagree with that? (I don't BTW) must I be forced to accept 'your' personal sexual preferences by constitutional amendment?
what I'm in agreement with is being gay is not a social issue, it's a personal issue and should stay personal between consenting adults AND porn websites of course
you probably don't remember this, the gays forced Disneyland to allow them to kiss and hold hands in the park etc... Disneyland is for kids... why should kids be forced to watch gays act out in public?
if 2 guys decide to go home and sodomize each fine, where's the issue with that, right? if 2 guys decide to tongue fuck each other down the throat in front of children at Disneyland that's another thing altogether isn't it?
if the same 2 guys want a civil union how does that concern me? if those 2 guys decide to force me to change the constitution then they have forced their sexuality on me and forced me to approve of their actions, which are not my concern in the first place. this is where I agree with sowell.
why must the gays take something from others to feel acceptance for themselves? this is the real issue that I see. why can't they just leave the poor religious boobs alone, get civil unions and go on about life?
the core issue is almost like the gays are trying to force legislation into religion, a marriage is 2 separate segments. the ceremony which can be religious and usually is and the civil aspect that changes the legal statues of the couple.
