Oh, and its because of people like you that is why the rest of the world thinks we are the most dangerous country on earth... and why we probably are...
Its because of all the incredibly idiotic things you people say that is why I dropped this debate. It is depressing to see how the bounds of stupidity in the human race have absolutely no limits...
Hating people because they are different is wrong. Persecuting people because they are different is wrong. Allowing persecution of people because they are different is wrong. Equality is a good thing. Morality? That is of course important, but it should be based on what is objectively (and legally) right, not on what is religiously right... I simply do not understand this right-wing idea that gay marriage will destroy the family. It just makes no sense at all to me... I don't see why anyone should care if it's two men or a man and a woman. If it's a loving, monogamous relationship, who's to say who is in it? Your position is exactly the same as the Southerners who fought racial integration... religiously based and very, very morally corrupt.
You seem to have some insane idea that if gay marriage (or civil unions even) are allowed then next will be ... oh, I don't know... allowing polygamy and polyamory? A complete breakdown of civil society? I cannot think of a stupider idea... and when it eventually happens (probably in other countries far before it gets to conservative America) you'll see how foolish your position is. Well you should already... maybe the next generation will? :(
I just fundamentally do not understand how so many people can hate so much (over this and other things), and don't really want to know... it is very disturbing to see people who have so much hate over these things... it'd be sad if it wasn't so dangerous and bad for society.
If I remeber my little knowledge on U.S History the push for ending slavery and bringing equality too the blacks, Was by a very couragous highly religious president named Abraham Lincholn who believed god has sent him to bring freedom to the opressed black people,It was not some Atheist liberal.The founding Fathers probaily would be disgusted by todays obcenities and moraly dead society. As George Washingston hated foul language and sexual premiscuity.
The reason to oppose same sex couples raising children, Is because every child needs a mother and a father in their lives. Otherwise why have big brothers and big sisters special needs service for mother and fatherless boys and girls. It wouldnt be right to have children grow up in a very unatural union of parents missing a male or female role model and mentor.
Sure single parents are forced to raise kids alone but that isnt the best enviroment and everyone will agree having a good father makes a major impact on the developement and out come of a child as they grow up. May I even add that some homosexuals have stated themselves that they wont have kids because they feel children need a mother and father. Honnestly I wouldnt want to have two parents of the same sex not just because I would be teased over it but because it is just not balanced.
I think same sex marriage cannot be decided by only a few politicians and judges it is such a shift in basic structure of society that too me it should be decided through a referendom vote. Unfortunately for us canadians nobody was given the chance to vote and it was shoved into are faces.
