I don't really care about gay issues one way or another but a lot of people are supporters of it simply because its very "hip and trendy" and all their cool friends at the coffee shop do it. Whatever way in which they can further display that they're not conservative right wingers they will get involved in. Some of them like to think they're being rebels and "bucking the system", even though to buck the system right now would mean anti-gay rights, as that view is increasingly less tolerated and not at all the way of the establishment anymore.
I had to rep this post because of that bold part.
I would be less irked by heterosexuals that are very strong supporter of homosexual sex, openly homosexuality as one of a person's characteristics, if they simply thought the issue through and arrived at their own conclusion, rather than being told what they should think by some political group.
I have this same beef with conservatives too. The criminalization of drug possession and use being a big one for me. It's not an issue that garners a lot of public discussion and emotions though. Because drug dealers and drug addicts don't have much if any politically lobbying power.
Two consenting adults forging a deep emotional bond, most often strengthened by sharing assets, living in the same space and engaging in physical intimacy?
yuk
That's not what it's about, it's about money and pretending to be equal to a man and wife being the bedrock of the family institution. We would gladly give up the tax perks, to keep the gov't where it doesn't belong in the first place. For the most part, we have more couples shacking up with children than ever before, because single mothers are victims of children. The gov't owns those kids now.
The homos are stupid to go along with this, and just makes a mockery of the entire system.
No one is arguing for the right of asexuals to marry even though they along with heterosexual singles are denied countless federal benefits and rights afforded to married couples.
Know why?
Because it isn't about the benefits and never has been.
It's about changing the meaning of a word and using the power of the state to force this change.
If that were true, they would change the definition of marriage, instead of annihilalting it and refusing to present a definition at all. Doors wide open to anything.
Y'all used to say the same thing over at the Illegal alien haters forum. The Senate just passed it version of CIR.
A few years ago it was the sleeping giant waking to deport aliens en masse.
I wish the homophobic sleeping giant better luck. Hey maybe the Illegal alien hating sleeping giant and the homophobic sleeping giant are sleeping together.
Yeah the Senate passed a "landmark" immigration bill in 2006 too. Have a nice day.
I find it strange that some so called "heterosexual" individuals are preoccupied with gay issues.
As a straight man I don't spend too much time thinking about issues relating to the gay community.
I find interesting that some straight individuals spend so much time and effort focusing on gays, and I was wondering what is the psychology behind this?
I think the same reason athiest are obsessed those who believe in God. It is the same mentality level in my opinion.

Bingo this is a fad issue and to reorder society based on a fad and the sinister influence of Jewish controlled Hollywood is simply silly. Now before anyone denounces me as anti-Semitic, Joe Biden personally thanked the Jewish community for pushing gay marriage through culture.

I have no idea how often my husband thought about gays and we were married several years before I thought about it at all and he died of heart trouble before I even had other thoughts about it. All this said in one sentence, but, it covers several years. I do know he was terrified of being in the company of gays. I think he feared they would recognize that he might be gay or know he was; therefore, I think he thought about it a lot. We were in Dallas with another couple to attend a football game between Oklahoma U and Texas U, after which we were all invited to a party given by some art professors our friend knew. I am an artist and very much wanted to attend this party and my husband very much did not want us to go. He begged me to give up on the idea, but, I refused. He was so desperate not to go, he stayed in the car. I think all this occurred because of a casual remark by our friend that some gays would probably attend, although, he used a derogatory term. Perhaps I'm mistaken about it all.

How callous of you not to take his wishes into consideration, letting him sit in the car while you party. No wonder he's your ex.
