I once attended an all girls high school. There were a lot of girls experimenting with each other and "coming out." Most of them were "suddenly" straight once they graduated or transferred to co-ed schools. Reminded me of men who engage in homosexual behavior in jail, yet they are straight once they join the free world again.
There are a lot of gay people in my city who are ashamed of the local gay pride week and culmunating parade. It is not a family event, because some gays think that they only way to be proud is to wear assless pants or lead each other around by a leash on a man's penis.
There are plenty of single parents who produce normal and healthy children. However, I agree that a child of a lesbian or gay couple may have some extreme confusion as they get older and learn about reproduction.
There is one example that sticks out in my mind: Two women were living together in a romantic relationship. One of them decided that she wanted to be a mother, so she was artificially inseminated and had a daughter. The little girl was only three when her biological mother's partner left and had a sex change. So now the little girl refers to her bio mom as "Mommy", her sperm donor as her father and the ex partner who is now a male is now known as "Daddy." How a six year old wraps her head around this, I will never know.

That is the only thing that bothers me about the gay community, although I know some of them don't even approve of this. I don't understand why a group that wants respect and to be looked at as any other couple in love would do that....we have the big pride parade in Chicago, and it is totally fine that they have the parade and everything, but gay, straight or bi I don't understand why you would go to those extremes.....
Oh I wasn't saying that in relation to if they should be allowed to marry or not, I said gay straight or bi I don't understand why people act that way....
Because there are extremes to every group of people that give that group a bad name.
I am an elitist when it comes to my racial group.
I only like other blacks like myself; ones that work hard and defy awful stereotypes.
The ghetto black people with "babyfathers" or "babymothers", gang affiliation and social housing just aren't progressive enough for me. They choose to live the stereotypes rather than rise above them.
I think the anti-gay marriage contingent would have you believe that most people are against it, but I don't know anyone, liberals or conservatives, who are against it.
Like so many other forms of hate and discriminiation, it is based on fear and ignorance.
I talk to a lot of people about this topic. The major theme I have found from religious people is that they will concede to "unions" but think marriage is a sacred right given by god to men and women. Only men and women. If homosexuals get married the sacredness of marriage would be broken. It is going against god for same sex couples to get married. Saying that homosexual marriage is 'terrible' for a religious person is like saying living in a ghetto with your babymamma is a bummer; it's a little bit of an understatement. It's not terrible to them that gays get married, it's sacrilegious, goes against everything they feel is right and I think they feel it will bring the wrath of god down on this country. Those are some pretty serious fears.
I personally dont think there's anything wrong with homosexual marriage but I know many people who do, my mom included. I take her concerns seriously but I respectfully seek to clear up some misconceptions about her fears. For example I ask her if it is even possible for gay couples to get married, biblically speaking. After all, god said marriage is between a man and a women so if he defined it as such how can it be anything else? Call it whatever you want but if god defined marriage as a union between a man and a women it is not possible for that definition to be changed. Homosexuals can get married under the law but they will never be married biblically speaking. I can give her a sense of keeping the sacredness of marriage even if gays use the same word as she does. In that sense everybody is happy....and happily married.

More than half of very liberal california has been against it enough to vote it down twice.
I think a lot of people who are against it have been bullied into silence by the pro-gay marriage folks. In California during the last vote there were many cases of vandalism targeted by gay supporters against the people with signs on the their lawn against gay marriage.
After the vote when the gay supporters lost, the pro-gay-marriage vigilantes went back and found the names of people who donated to the anti-marriage groups and publicly outed them. It was quite nasty - basically anyone who was against gay marriage had to be silent in fear of reprisals.
Not everybody believes in the Bible or that God created marriage.
I agree with that, and it is taught, at least in my church, and I know it's in the bible, that we are not to judge other people....I believe that laws should be in place to protect the safety of the population, not dictate what personal choices you make for your life....As far as what I believe God gave us His expectations, but gave us all free will to make choices, and that's the basis on which we will be judged.....Christians are also taught that nobody that walks this earth is without sin, so any Christian that gets up and judges another is the biggest of hypocrites.....
I have found many so called Christians to be the worst hypocrites and liars, especially the men. The types I knew thought nothing of having premarital sex, yet they praised God every Sunday!
