if you're not gay you have nothing to worry about, you weren't born with the gay orientation, so GAY marriage has nothing to do with YOUR marriage.

I don't understand how someone can be PASSIONATELY against making STRANGERS LIFE HARD for NO REASON, and still look themselves in the mirror.

It's like they don't realize that making it so i can't get married, won't make me become straight, since it wasn't chosen.

Perhaps they think it's a choice and if i can't get married, i'll reconsider my 'life choice' and become a heterosexual.

that's the ONLY REASON i can think of for their actions.

"why do people who are ant gay post messages about same sex marriage?"

Probably for the same reasons gay people post messages about things not related to being gay. I think it has something to do with one of the amendments, if I'm not mistaken...

It gets tiresome, doesn't it. Right here on the forum - from the same cast of characters each time (I could name names, but I'd probably get a warning for doing so). Same tiresome reasons, too - it goes against the Bible, its not "natural", it carries risk of disease, etc. Same crap every time.

And yet the same people start the same threads with the same question time after time.

The main reason is about power and control. Anti-gay folks think by denying rights to gays and lesbians and by dissing them, they have more power. Think of the school bully who only felt good if they knew they were better than someone else. This is their version of bullying.

Ant Gay? You mean homosexual insects?

But I digress....I am all for Gay Marriage--it's not a threat to hetero marriage by any means. Being gay is not a choice, one is born that way.

Smoking is bad for your health.

Unless you are gay, same sex marriage will not affect you.

Try again.

Based on a few things I've studied, being gay is not particularly good for your health either - and this is information coming from The May Clinic, not some crack-pot conspiracy site.

Really? That's what they think? Where's your evidence? Is your psychoanalysis of millions of people based on reality at all or are you just spouting off partisan rhetoric as if it was fact? You have social studies to back this up? Surveys? Opinion polls? Anything legitimate?
