I can’t remember the source but a few years ago there was a study that found the average gay male had an avg of 2000 sex partners.

It is clear that the intent of gay marriage is to destroy traditional marriage. It is stated clearly by “hoping” that the boundary-challenging relationships will spill over to heterosexual marriage. Just what we need; more challenging of the boundaries of marriage. sheesh.

That transparency can make relationships stronger, said Joe Quirk, author of the best-selling relationship book “It’s Not You, It’s Biology.”

At least, his name is what I call “truth in advertising.”

I believe it was a Center for Disease Control study that found that homesexual men AVERAGED about 50 different sexual partners a year.

Now there’s no way to know how many of these men might be in a ‘committed relationship’ but surely a lot of them are.

Call it “open marriage”, call it “play” but it still boils down to a completely different view of relationships while they are tryin to propagandize the straight world that they are ‘just like everyone else.”

Like who knew? This is like the disguised polygamy that has been practiced during the centuries. where the guy had a wife and kids, who were the “real family,” but who had multiple women on the side. Except that the law refused to recognize the right of the husband to have sex with these women and therefore
treated any progeny as illegitimate and denied the concubine any rights in his estate. But at least this does not challenge the principle of monogamy as gay marriage does. The gays do an argument: is what they do any more corrosive of monogamy than the serial polygamy of no-fault divorce and co-habitation really that much more than gay marriage?

“If innovation in marriage is going to occur, it will be spearheaded by homosexual marriages.”

Marriage is not technology or a science project or a business. There's no innovation or experimentation needed in marriage itself. If the two people need to fix their bond, they do that between themselves and God.

These yums yums don't get it. If they can equate marriage to a social experiment, no wonder they don't understand true marriage.

“I take it as a gift that someone will be that open and honest and sharing with me,” said Rio

I wonder if they'll be just as honest when one of them comes home with another kind of gift...life a disease.

No matter whether “gay” or “straight”, I have always believed that “happiness” in infidelity reflects (a) individual selfishness and narcissism and (b) weaknesses in the individuals involved and NOT an instance of their overcoming an intrinsic weakness in monogamy.

If only we could deny monogamy - the legal recognition of it, and legal benefits of it - due to infidelity, consensual or not, “heterosexual” or not.

Monogamy takes the self-obsessed interest out of sex and sexual relations, providing a home for them based on something greater than the self - the uniting of the human personality - mental, physical, emotional and spiritual - in (a) a love for another who shares that same love for us and (b)a relationship that unites the two in that love and amounts to and provides more than the sum of the parts.

Monogamy is all about that united self. Infidelity reflects the divided self; the self where life and loyalty is divided in the core element of Love. It is no mystery why monogamy was increasingly favored in conjunction with monotheistic religion - one God, one love - one mate, one love.

Monogamy was part of every civilization that led us into greater and greater progress.

the leftists think of religion and family as artificial institutions like the corporations rather than foundations of civil society. They want to tear these down so as to reduce society to little more a collection of individuals who whose only loyalty is to the state.

...some experts say boundary-challenging gay relationships represent an evolution in marriage — one that might point the way for the survival of the institution.

What absolutely vomitous bilge! I doubt that even gay-"marriage" advocates believe that.

So aside from fidelity, procreation, and a committed spiritual bond, what they have is exactly the same as a real marriage.

And aside from its dryness, dirt is exactly the same as water.

Love did not bring these two middle aged freaks together. It was Lust.

My belief is that quick gratification of lust is the basis of faggotry in men, and fear and loathing of men the basis for lesbianism.

“What’s the point of calling it marriage? Sounds like an orgy to me.”

It’s all about getting free benefits from the government and your employer.

I believe many homosexuals are too lazy to put the time and effort into finding and courting a woman

The basic Orgasm is the same whether accomplished through hetero or homosexual methods. It is easier to talk to ones own gender, and once it is established that sex is the object ,it is much quicker and easier to just get it on instead of playing dating games.

Laziness accounts for a lot of it, when it comes to men

I have talked to a couple of Lesbians and the theme is usually a father or some man who has abused them.

Of course there are those who will claim both of us are full of crap.

Today's younger generation doesn't appear to be stifled with the older generations taboo's. They seek the Orgasm wherever it comes and could care less who it is with. Today's morals have broken down, and sexual pleasure is the aim. Movies and the celebrities seem to be setting the trend. Rosie, Ann Heche, Many of the older male celebrities were dabbling in Homosexuality, Through the years the old morals have gradually been beaten back and anything goes.

Oral and anal sex are more the norm now than not engaging in such acts. Certainly it existed back when Grandma was around,but Grandpa didn't get much of it. It doesn't take much of a jump to go from Oral and Anal sex with a different gender than to engage in such acts with the same.

Again I will probably be called full of crap for my views, but ,hey ,isn't that what opinions are?

In short, these "marriages" are (maybe) successful in the sense of being a satisfactory arrangement for the parties involved, but aren't really marriages and never were.

And they want to bring children into this mix.

If I were to tell a home study social worker that my husband and I were in an “open” marriage, a child would never be placed in my home. However, with a study saying 50% of gay couples are living in an “open” relationship, they are still allowed to adopt and foster.

I really don’t care what adults do. But, children should not be brought into this. They need stability, not this chaos.
