My nephew is gay. He’s a wonderful young man that contributes positively to his community. He lives in NY with his husband. They know we love them both and want them to be happy. They also know that I don’t think they are “married”.
I’ve been asked why and I can’t articulate a reason. I just don’t like the idea that a generations old definition should be changed or amended to include same sex couples.
They appreciate my argument about the “slipperly slope”. I don’t make any sort of religious based argument because the Bible can be very contradictory and outdated and they are quick to point that out. There’s no bad blood between any of us.
I guess my question is - how do you respond when someone asks why you’re against it? How do you respond when they ask - “Why can’t we be happy?” “How does our marriage affect you negatively in any way?”
I have a hard time answering. The only thing I can say is that they CAN be happy and it DOESN’T affect me negatively but I still don’t like it and think they should have Civil Unions.
Help me out here.
The fact that you think civil unions are just fine is the problem.
It's insanity, pure and simple. It's the inability accept the reality of which sex you were born.
“How does our marriage affect you negatively in any way?”
It affects you, me, and all of us because it affects our civilization. The homosexual/atheist/Communist/Satanist axis wants to destroy Western civilization, so they're attacking the pillars of our society: faith, family, marriage, language, national borders, patriotism, and so on. When those pillars crumble -- and they're well on their way to that -- Western civilization will collapse, and the forces of evil will be able to establish the Satanist/Communist/sexually perverted society they so desperately want.
So yes, your nephew's so-called "marriage" does affect you...and me. Just as the decision of a young woman in my family to "live as a man" (taking male hormones and everything) with her girlfriend affects me...and you. On a case by case basis, those insane people's insane decisions may not affect anyone outside their/our heartbroken families. But together, they threaten our society, and that's why it affects you. And me. And the rest of us.
I will always love that particular young family member, but I do not accept her insanity. She is my enemy in the cultural civil war that's raging in our Republic. That's how we have to look at it, as painful as it may be.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

btw, a Biblical argument is not a weak one. :)
Marriage is between one man and one woman. The bible says so and common sense says so. Children fully deserve to have a mother and a father. Same sex parents should not be raising children. Gay pride parades are out of control and I avoid them. I vote conservative because that’s what’s best for not just me but the United States of America.
One more thing.
I’m gay.
Simply consider it in economic terms.
Gay marriage allows the entry of more couples into the world of marriage and thus devalues marriage much like increasing the money supply devalues the dollar.
A little more close to home. Think about the value of your home and the impact on that value if a married gay couple were to move in next door. How do you sell your house if your gay neighbors are visible while potential buyers are looking at the house you are attempting to sell?
And in a very personal level. What if you were having difficulty with your own marriage. Will the value of your marriage increase or decrease if you know that people in your own community or even your next door neighbors are gay and are married?
Will the value of your children’s education increase or decrease if they happen to go to school with kids who have parents that are involved in gay marriages?
Will that be a distraction to the educational mission of the school?
What if you work for a company that offers Domestic Partner Benefits? Will inclusion of these gays on your company’s health care plan increase or decrease the cost of your insurance?
tell them that putting a penis into a hole constantly which puts out feces is sick, unhealthy and not natural.
Having sex with feces is not normal either
oh and the fact that you say he has a husband tells me that you have no problem with feces sex or those two.
In 10 years the pedophiles will be asking the same question
It is abnormal, the human body was not built for it. It is totally unnatural.
It is a mental illness. When people define their whole lives by their sexual preferences and feel the need to indoctrinate children and have it celebrated by government edict and to punish those who disagree there is something seriously wrong with them.
Yes, it is a mental illness.
