I'm interested in what a, "gay" agenda is. (Surely it can't be any worse than a Republican agenda...the former aren't going around trying to actively recruit people for the "cause" or going overseas killing others, last I checked.) Live and let live. No, I reject the lifestyle choice as wrong for me, but if it's right for somebody else, great. If I don't want to see it on television, or via any other media outlet, I'm always free to change the channel. That's what Democracy is all about.

People are people everywhere you go and have many differences culturally and with regard to their sexual orientation. People who come to the conclusion that homosexuality is an acceptable life choice for them shouldn't be criticized or ostracized unless they choose to cause harm to others. They just want the same things that we have and often take for granted, and to be left alone to live at their own pace. Let them be, ignore what the media tells you is, "trendy" and what isn't, and avoid trying to slap labels on people.

Let them be, ignore what the media tells you what is, "trendy" and what isn't, and avoid trying to slap labels on people. You'll be happier for it.

Only a blatant troll wouldn't go to the link and actually follow the footnote to see where the source came from:

John Boswell, "Same Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe." (New York: Random House, 1995). Pages 80–85.

I didnt bother because i know the source it references. Boswell has been thoroughly debunked as a ideological hack. Try again.

"John Eastburn Boswell was a prominent historian and a professor at Yale University."

Seeing that my mention of gay marriage in the Roman Empire came from a book written from this man, I don't think I would call him a troll....actually he died before there was such thing as an internet troll.

try harder. He wasn't debunked at all. You just posted a whiny diatribe by a Theologist:

Quote:
Robin Darling Young is Associate Professor of Theology at the Catholic University of America, where she teaches early Christian history.
Please provide a credible debunking, at least by one that isn't immersed in any religion.

A gay professor stretches the truth to lend legitimacy to his debased lifestyle and folks are supposed to not question it.

wow, you are not even trying. A Religious website? And to think that we thought you'd use credible sources.

I asked for a credible debunking from a non-religious source. Seems you can't provide it.
