Homosexuals want to redefine marriage so that they can participate. Why don't the rest of us say, "Okay, fine -- just so long as others can also redefine marraige to suit themselves. For example, if an employer wants to refuse spousal health benefits to a same-sex couple, on the grounds that by his definition, they're not really married, that should be his perfect right."

What sort of reception do you suppose homosexuals would give to that posture?

To support Homosexual (I never use the word Gay) marriage, and even civil unions, means we will have to face the possibility of addressing insestuous unions, polygamous unions, adult/child unions (NAMBLA), threesome unions (two or more women and one man), and even beastial/human unions (don't think it ain't out there!) and Lord knows what else.

To be homosexual is a DISORDER. A gender identity disorder. I don't care who tries to make it normal.....it just isn't. And the fact that homo's try to force us to accept it as normal shows how obsessive they are in their belief system and how desperate they are for us to legitimize their unnatural needs.

I won't....I can't....it's weird.

Thanks so much for posting the above statement. It's a beautifully stated argument that will definitely help me when discussing this issue.

You're welcome! The following article may also be a good weapon. It certainly helped me drive the message home with a coworker, yesterday.

We should go back to using the word "queer", because that is exactly what it (homosexuality) is.

queer is a usurped word like "gay". Homosexual is as homosexual does. It is accurate, unambiguous and has the plain meaning of the act that defines homosexuality as strictly a recreational sex fetish.

The term sodomites works for me.

Yeah, that sounds pretty gross. We need to tell it like it is, not beat around the bush with the "gay" crap.

Whatever you do, folks, just make sure you support the constitutional amendment on marriage. The Constitution is not the inerrant word of God, and if it is not modified to make damn sure marriage is protected, judicial activism will lead to gay marriage all over the country. There's no point to a Constitution if all it does is reinforce gross immorality on this level. Please don't wait!
