<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">First of all gay marriage was legal in ancient rome and persia, not exactly two thousand years of straights only.</div> Is this ancient Rome? Be honest with me. When you think of family, do you think of a mother/father or a father/father? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">and second of all how does making you gay make you more likely to get HIV/AIDS? It is the same process either way.</div> Is this a joke? It's the same process? A woman has two holes a man can enter with his penis. She has a vagina and an anus. A male has one hole...an anus. Anal sex, legally called sodomy, is a HIV feasting ground. Your chances at getting HIV during anal intercourse greatly increase than vaginal intercourse, even with a condom. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">and finally kids are already being raised be gay parents and turning out straight/gay whatever just like normal kids.</div> Normal kids aren't gay. A normal boy has a crush on a girl, but is too embarrassed to admit it. A normal kid goes on his first date @ about 14. A normal kid has sexual desires for a woman when he goes through puberty. Being gay isn't normal, that's why it's called an alternative lifestyle.
The ancient rome thing was because someone said that marriage has been sacred for thousands of years, but gay marriage has been going on forever was my point On the gay men and HIV thing i heard that the whole thing on gay men being more likely to get HIV was a myth And gays raise straight kids all the time. BTW did you all of a sudden hate that friend of yours who turned out gay. He was your friend for your whole life.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting 44Thrilla:</div><div class="quote_post">I really don't have a problem with homosexuals, but I think gay "marriage" is wrong. If people out there choose to be gay, then nothings stopping them, but the government should never recognize them as a "married" couple. Recognizing them in that way indirectly accepts their relationship as a normal one, even though the gay lifestyle is and always should be an alternative lifestyle. I fully believe that homosexuality is not an innate characteristic. I think it's merely a culture that some people choose to be a part of. These people's minds allow them to enjoy an abnormal activity such as gay intercourse, so they lead a gay lifestyle. Marriage is the union of a man and a woman. Just because certain people decide they aren't attracted to the opposite sex doesn't mean they should be afforded the same rights and privileges as normal people. Nobody is asking them to become straight, they just shouldn't have their relationships recognized by the government as official "marriages", and definitely shouldn't be allowed to raise children as is they are a "family".</div> Couldn't have said it better.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post"> How does it affect YOU?</div> most intelligent comment made in the entire thread.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Why would anyone care? I am curious on why people care about gay people getting married. I mean it doenst affect me or any other straight person </div> Well the biggest argument is that after marriage usually a family comes, and the idea of two fathers with no mother or two mothers with no father doesn't sit well with people ............with that being said, I think "gay rights" in general is overdramatized....I realize gays get discriminated against....but it's not on the level of discrimination against people with color.......I'm not against gay people or homosexuals, because I know plenty and they're all really good people and they've all treated me great, but I just think gay discrimination is kind of overrated.....jus my 2 cents. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">How do people feel about homosexual slander words, such as ***, dike, queer, fairy? Do these words push the limit and deserve more of a punishment than callling someone a spic, ******, or wop? Or should it be taken the same way as racism? </div> I don't use words like those, because I think it's wrong to make fun of someone, but being gay and being a person of color, are TOTALLY two different things......as a black person I can honestly say that gay people haven't been and aren't going through what black people have had to endure in this country......it just brings me back to my point that I think it's overdramatized in the media......discrimination against gays is a problem, but not what some try to make it out to be.....there or more important issues that need to be dealt with rather than arguing about gay marriages. And as far as gay being an instinctive trait or something learned, I have to lean towards the latter, for the simple fact some of my lesbian friends, turn lesbian for the simple fact that they had a bad relationship or two with a man, and they see no other alternative route other than being gay.
I couldn't care less if gay people wanted to get married, as long as they couldn't adopt kids. Nobody would want two gay dads now would they? Sure they might do the same job of raising the child but the kid is going to be ripped on for the rest of his life.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">The ancient rome thing was because someone said that marriage has been sacred for thousands of years, but gay marriage has been going on forever was my point</div> Marriage is sacred. What do you think of when you think of marriage? A father and a mother. Not two dudes. Two guys don't make families, they can't. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On the gay men and HIV thing i heard that the whole thing on gay men being more likely to get HIV was a myth</div> It's very true. A gay man has to put his penis where another man craps, that is so unsanitary. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">And gays raise straight kids all the time. BTW did you all of a sudden hate that friend of yours who turned out gay. He was your friend for your whole life.</div> We don't talk much anymore, it's not because he's gay. He got pissed at me because I moved.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting THE DREAM:</div><div class="quote_post">maybe he liked you....lol.</div> LOL eww. I never thought of that. I've been hit on by many homosexual men. Especially at Subway, I used to always get free sandwiches with extra meat.
How come none of you guys metion two females raising a kid as disgusting and wrong, all i am seeing is a kid with two dads would get ripped on, well so do kids with dead beat dads, like alcoholic's and whatnot

A man is often reffered to as gay...a woman is often reffered to as a lesbian. It's just a mental image. What's the point about dead beat dads? I'm not getting that.
kids at school get made fun of for having a dad or mom that is a dead beat like a drunk or something. my point that your definition of a family has the same complications as a family were the child is raised by homosexuals
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">kids at school get made fun of for having a dad or mom that is a dead beat like a drunk or something. my point that your definition of a family has the same complications as a family were the child is raised by homosexuals</div> In my personal opinion, I think a kid would be ridiculed more for being raised by two homos than having a dead beat dad/mom. I would guess that at least every family has one alcoholic or dead beat in their family, including aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I think being a drunk is a little more acceptable in society than being gay. It's just the way it works
^^ i agree with you there, but i was just trying to prove that kids will be ridiculed in school about EVERYTHING, so having gay parents cant be that much worse imo. Plus i am sure everyone in their high school days that would have been a lot more popular if their parents were gay and they werent so wierd.
I don't think the ridicule for being gay/being raised by gay parents would be slightly worse than being raised by a dead beat. I think it's be severly worse. Society today doesn't accept being gay as a normal way of life. That's why it's called an alternative lifestyle. Gay's are always being beat, tormented, abused, whatever you want to call it. I think a student raised by a gay couple would be ridiculed JUST as much as a gay student would.
^^Maybe like five years ago, but now i am not sure. I know a few kids in high school that just get sh** from everyone, a lot less then the kids who get ripped on for being gay (or thought to be)
I think it's perfectly fine. I think if someone wants to be with someone they truly love, they should be allowed to regardless of gender. I think the only people have who problems with gay marriage are the older folks, or young kids influenced by these kind of parents. It's just different and weird to them. I believe our generation, or most of it won't mind it. We're more open to everything and more willing to accept things.
