Here is an additional twist, What about when children are forced to be exposed to the homosexual lifestyle.
Adoption by Gay couples
Divorce - Child custody by a gay parent

Personally, I think the qualities that make for good, loving parents have next-to-nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Exactly the same way I don't think sexual orientation is one of the variables that factors into whether or not someone is a good person.

I would agree 100%. I raised a child by myself in San Francisco, and as you might guess from the reputation my city has, I saw the gamut of family setups during her school years. I can honestly say that the quality of life and the nurturing those other kids received had nothing to do, as near as I could tell, with the makeup of the family. I wouldn't claim that my experience was all-encompassing, but I did spend a lot of time with other families and their kids. The troubled children all came from homes with a lot of problems -- but sexual orientation of the parents didn't seem to be a common thread.

Gay rights is the civil liberty issue of our time.

Some people want to restrict two consenting adults from being able to marry. When I think of representing this arrogance in person, I can barely imagine it. I mean, take someone you respect from your work/school, imagine walking up to them and telling them "you cannot marry the one you love". Such arrogance! And for what reason?

I believe people argue based upon an unfair perception -- probably some uber-gay stereotype. I wonder if people actually know gay people before judging.

Last, when it comes to personal rights, one should consider the case of it being their son/daughter. Would you restrict your gay son/daughter from marrying? If you are going to assert a law that restricts all people of a group, you had better be sure it is out of understanding and not arrogance.

How terribly heartbreaking.

Oh... it's not natural.

not natural?

It seems that there actually are evolutionary benefits to being sexually deviant...
if you're a bi-sexual monkey from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I'm not sure why, but it brought someone to mind:

and a quote that went something like:
"Pound my monkey hole, Richard!"

If that's natural, then I'm a spaghetti monster.

here you go again, nobody said homosexuality is natural. it can feel natural, however.

What a fascinating link, thanks.

Homosexuality observed in more than 1,500 species and well described for 500 of them?

That's just naaasty.

Whirlingdervish · « **Reply #235 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:51:46 AM »

I admit there were MANY more species of animal that engage in quasi-homosexual behavior than I had previously thought.

although, if everyone you know jumped off a cliff...

DaHanG · « **Reply #236 on:** November 22, 2006, 10:19:35 AM »

lmao. homosexuality is not a trend. maybe coming out is in today's world (big difference)

Whirlingdervish · « **Reply #237 on:** November 22, 2006, 10:53:42 AM »

it's not a trend?

which definition of trend are you using?

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/trend

if by "trend" you mean, "current style", then no, being homosexually oriented is not a trend.

otherwise,

if by "trend" you mean, "A general tendency or inclination", then yes it seems being homosexually oriented is more of a trend among animals than previously thought. (1500 species documented so far)

now do you understand how annoying it is when people, who have nothing better to say, throw exact word definitions around like they are really more important than the gist of a sentence or phrase?

DaHanG · « **Reply #238 on:** November 22, 2006, 02:11:18 PM »

this is not annoying, because i could have applied two possible meanings to the word trend. you could not have applied two possible meanings to the word gay (happy would not have made sense).

i'm cool with marriage, if that's what they want, who the fuck should tell them not cool
i have an issue with gays adopting
i think under all equal conditions, a man and a woman should take care of the child over a homosexual relationship
but it's not that big of a thing compared to other issues, so you just have to weigh things , and set your policy accordingly

i think if women like women, and guys like guys, no big fucking deal. were not talking about having problems with propagating the human race now are we

and i'll have to say one thing that really pisses me off
this guy on cnn, glen something
this kramer guy says all this racist shit

now this guy WHO HAS HIS OWN SHOW ON CNN says the word should be banned, and black rappers are just as bad as kramer
conservatives seem to be the people most apt to be like this on all things
it made me sick to my stomach how out touch these people are
