Well since there are 10,000 more children put up for adoption per a year then there are willing parents, this sounds like a good thing to me as it takes the government off the hook to pay for them.

BTW, your website is blocked by my companies default filters - interesting as the filters are pretty open and there are very few actual blacklisted websites.

Incorrect. There are opinions about homosexuality in this thread that have been exposed as uninformed and based purely on prejudice and not on evidence-based facts. If a person deliberately chooses to ignore the evicence and chooses to stick with their fact-free prejudice and ignorance, how are they not a 'bigot'?

How can someone be called a 'bigot' when they present evidence-based information to expose the prejudice and ignorance on which another persons views are based?

Would you draw the line at polyamory's or polygamists, or communes deciding they'd like to group adopt?
Group marriages?
Once sterility really gets hold, we'll have black binders of children up for bids, or taking special orders.

A person could hold the point of view that the sun revolves around the earth.

Should rational educated people respect that this person's view is valid or equal to the evidence-based view that the earth revolves the sun?

That person has the right to express that point of view, but they don't have the right to expect others to respect it and accept it as valid.

The next time someone says this to you, show him this document: What same-sex "marriage" has done to Massachusetts". The fact is that same-sex "marriage" has completely transformed the state, imposed itself on every institution, and impacted absolutely everyone in some way. This document spells it all out. The homosexual agenda is totalitarian to the core. The goal is not really marriage, but the normalization of homosexuality throughout society.

The most shocking thing on the list?

"Adoption agencies have said that 40% of their adoptions are to homosexual couples."

Kyrie eleison.
The states Orphan issues have been reduced considerably as a result. If it went national, think how many could get loving families. Don't hate.

You are intentionally disregarding people's religious beliefs, and what has bound American society for over 200 years, trying to paint this change as progress. I call it decadence and corrupting the minds of future generations to think life revolves around sex. I'll even give you an example of what a liberal professor is doing in a college class. If this doesn't disgust you, I don't know what will.

Marriage is between one man and one woman - RESPECT THAT

Is someone forcing you to marry someone of the same sex? No.

If you don't like same-sex marriage, then don't have one. Simple.

so what? You religion has no bearing on my life. I don't want government to be following any religion whatsoever.

Fail. the USA is a deist nation. That means, we do not recognize one form of religious belief over another, and that Government and ITS laws are to remain separate for them.

the only people who seem to be hung up on what gays do in the privacy of their own homes and lives, are bigots.

One college professor and you condemn the entire human race. Shall we use you an as example of how to recognize bigots?
