The point is: When with the line of moral absolutism be drawn...IMHO, gay marriage is a particularly slippery slope. If gays can legally marry, what's next? Polygamy? Why not, it was once the norm in much of Utah; still is in the Arab world, which argues the West marries one at a time (divorce/remarriage) while they do it all at once. Then there's incest...why not marry kinfolk? One could make the same basic plea that gays and lesbians make about "love" and monogamy...

I am a bit open-minded to the gay community about having access to such things as survivor benefits, insurance, etc.; but marriage is out of the question. The marriage ideal is A man, and A woman, in A committed monagamous relationship, for A lifetime!

"I've had both worlds. I've loved a man and a woman. But I'll tell you the three "D's" of homosexuality: dysfunctional, destructive and deadly." Bennett continued, "America needs to realize affirming 'gay' marriage is giving homosexuals a false hope. Respectfully, what homosexuals need -- is help."

Amen.

Preach it, brother!

That's what we need--someone so confused he can't make up his mind who he likes to sleep with speaking out against gay marriage.

Former Homosexual?

Either he was never a homosexual and merely experimented with homosexual acts or he is a non-practicing celibate homosexual.

The phrase "former homosexual" sounds like " former asian" or "former bird"

Don't let Law & Order get a hold of this or they will turn it into an evil homophobic and fraudulent organization whose members are still and always shall be queer. What's that? They already had a show like this? Never mind...

Traditional marriage holds its special place because it benefits society. Homosexual marriage will benefit society exactly how?

Unfortunately but predictably the gay lobby looks at the issue strictly from the viewpoint of how it benefits them. Homosexuality is very narcissistic.

????Changed???Former Homosexual???

This cannot be! They tell us that homosexuality is hardwired into your brain, and they are not responsible for their actions.

Respectfully, what homosexuals need -- is help.

Disregard any discussion of homosexuality that is not founded of this POV.

If it comes down to a Constitutional ammendment that marriage should be between a man and a woman, it better have a clause in it that it refers to a genetic man and woman.
Otherwise the lawyers are gonna have a field day defining "Man" and "Woman."

Also the crowd that thinks you can walk into a garden and take an axe to a prickly pear(pair?) and make it a rose bush will have to be taken into account.

Going back to first causes, it seems to me that the main reason for the institution of marriage is to provide for orderly prolongation of the human species and inheritance of property. Same sex relationships are by definition incapable of contributing to the former, and for that reason, are only a short term solution for the latter. They are an evolutionary and genetic dead end.

While I wouldn't argue with the right of anyone to shack up with whatever gender adult they choose, that has nothing to do with the concept of marriage or can explain why marriage between men and women is, in some form or other, a universal norm of every known human culture.

I think that there are probably more bi-sexuals than either side on this issue are willing to admit too.

Conservatives, one and all, should make a pledge not to use the term "Gay" when referencing Homosexuals.

If talk-radio would run with this, I think it could gain momentum. When someone talking says 'Gay', interrupt them and ask them if they mean homosexual?

Homosexual Agenda Ping!

Will read later. Info certain not to be found in the mainstream media. To liberal/leftist homo-promoters, the very idea of being "ex-gay" is like a silver cross, stake, and garlic to a vampire.

If you want on or off this ping list, pingify me and your will shall be done!
