Isn't the only difference between gay people and not gay people the desire to have sex with the same sex? I have plenty of good girl friends, some that I have cohabitated with even, but I have never had sex with any of them. I just haven't had that desire. I have even had good friends that were gay that "broke up" with me cause I wasn't. I was more than willing to stay friends with them and accept their being different from me.
Gay people are just different from straight people, just as fat from skinny and drunk from sober. But still we are all people. We each just have different strengths and weaknesses. I don't want obese people teaching my kids that they are healthy or an alcoholic that that is just how they were born and every one is equal in this world. We are not all equal, no matter what anyone says. We are all different. Which is great. We were meant to be different. We all have obstacles to overcome. We are not one of us perfect! If you are gay then that is fine with me! Go right ahead! Do whatever you want! But don't try to get me to say that that is OK cause I don't think it is. I am entitled to my opinion just as you are yours!
Marriage is a religious instituion it always was and always will be, now, then and forever more. Marriage is about family and always has been and always will be. Being gay is about sex. It always has been and always will be. So the arguments that are going on are just absurd!!!! Now in California and 29 other states marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. It shouldn't have had to go there, but it did because people were trying to make a mockery of marriage.
If prop 8 had lost and people were out protesting it they would be considered wrong. We voted and we chose and it won. Get over it people. The No on 8 had millions of dollars donated to it too. Some right out of the hands of babes (read CTA.) You don't think the California TEACHERS Association could have come up with something better to spend $1.25 million on? Hmmm just one comes to mind, but how about education? They would rather educate my chilren that maybe they might want to try a same sex relationship? Kids will try anything if you tell them it's ok. Duh! We were all kids once and know that to be a truth!
This issue has just gone way over board! And the people just keep going and calling the 'conservatives" wrong. How about just one example... 2 prom kings? Prom has always been about the most popular boy and the most popular girl. Hasn't it? So isn't it discriminating against the queen even more so if she can't even be considered for this most high honor for our high school children? UHHH! What is wrong with the world today?
The gays are saying Hate, but they are the ones out there hating! Can't we all just get along and accept that we are different and life just isn't fair. It never was, and it never will be. You just have to do the best with what you are given. There are many things people chose when they chose to be gay and one of them is giving up a "traditional" family. Life is about choice. It always has been and it always will be!
