I'm not comfortable with the term 'marriage' being used for homosexual unions because I don't want any churches being sued for discrimination but...I knew a gay man in a therapy group that I was in over 20 years ago. Despite having been in a long-term monogamous (as far as I know) live-in relationship with his partner, his partner's family would not let him into the hospital to sit with his partner when he was dying of cancer.
I have also been a teacher for over 20 years. I totally believe that there is more to homosexuality than simple lifestyle choice. Some people just simply are gay and they deserve to be treated like human beings IMHO. Believe me, some teenage boys don't want to be gay but they have no choice. Their lives are often painful emotionally for themselves and their families.
>> I don’t want any churches being sued for discrimination but...
There is no “but...”. They WILL be sued.
This has NOTHING to do with allowing homosexuals to marry. It’s about forcing others to support it. Wake up.
And the reason two men or two women need to marry is..is...is....? Their marriages benefit society by...by...by....?
I can’t believe you fell for that “gay people can’t visit their partners in hospitals” nonsense. They’ve been repeating that line for years to get sympathy for their agenda (”Oh, how cruel these policies are against gay people”). I have one question: Why doesn’t the gay person just ask his/her partner to come into the room? Or tell the nurse that it’s okay for this person or that person to visit? I’ve visited several people in the hospital over the years and have never been told I can’t visit someone. And these hospitals don’t have signs on the doors that say,”No Gays Allowed.”
