How can you logically compare a man and women of whatever races with 2 men or 2 women?
Maybe you define "logic" illogically.

You're basically right, tho - two people devoting themselves to one another in marriage is not redefining it in any way. Whether those doing so are the same or different sex. Marriage is marriage.

If they want to have their own ceremony & consider themselves married - fine.
But when they try to make it legal & make everyone else honor their sexual deviations, and then they try to bring children into their distorted relationship... That's not good for society, & especially not good for children.
As mentioned, they already have rights under common law marriage.
Why demand legal redefinition of marriage to be 2 fathers or 2 mothers - when it is impossible for them to be parents without outside help?
Quote:
One cannot be persuaded to be homosexual. You're either born that way or you aren't. (HINT: participating in sexual activities with the same sex does not make one a homosexual).

WRONG.
This shows your ignorance regarding this topic.
Please, if you're going to states some lies, know why you are doing so.
What do you gain?
Spreading lies that lead to sickness & even death is morally wrong & psychologically twisted.
Pay attention:
When you, me & everyone was born, our brains were only 25% developed, which allowed for us to adapt to environmental influences & survive. Compared to other primates, we spend much longer with care-givers but in the long run, we are better adapted to our environments. There are rare exceptions with hermaphrodites - but that is a percentage of a percentage of the population. The rest of those with homosexual preferences acquired their taste in sex, as they did their taste in music, clothes etc... mostly through environmental influences.
The APA changed the definition of homosexuality not because of scientific studies, but because of political harrassment from gay lobbyists.
The Born "Gay" Hoax |
Quote:
One can be persuaded to be a homophobe and a bigot, however.
|
When people make personal attacks, engaging in the logical fallacy of adhominem attack... it demonstrates that they have nothing more to share & yet feel threatened, yet having nothing else of substance, they resort to put-downs.
In the end, anyone who understand this, realizes the "attacker" to be ignorant.
Quote:
What children need most is a parent or parents who love them unconditionally. Regardless of their sexuality.
|
If a parent loved a child unconditionally, they would want the absolute best for the child - which involves being raised by the 2 genders that created them - a mother and father.
Homosexual parents care more about what THEY want, then what the children need & thrive best with.
Quote:
And sorry, but statistically there's nothing harmful about homosexuality, same sex marriage or children being raised in those relationships.
|
WRONG again.
You are really making yourself look ignorant by stating these lies, especially when statistical facts from the United States Center For Disease Control contradicts your inaccurate statements.
Homosexuality (deemed as "death" by an ex-homosexual & ex-gay rights leader) is NOT what we want to teach children, especially considering that statistically, (according to the US CDC) homosexual practices present risks... since homosexuals switch partners often, they are more likely to get STDs & AIDS (which 2 friends of mine died from).

We also know that anal sex is risky (for anal fissures, colon rupture & anal cancer), even in 2 healthy males.
Children have the right to not be taught homosexuality in school. Yet, in places where gay marriage has been enacted, these rights have been infringed upon. Here are a few examples where those with homosexual preferences have pushed their assumed rights, which infringed on the rights of others...
*Freshmen were told not to tell their parents about a pro-gay seminar & were required to sign a confidentiality agreement (Derrfield, Illinois Mar. 2007).
*In March, 2007, a Massachusetts high school banned parents from attending a seminar for students on how they can know they are homosexual.
*In October, 2008, First graders (6 year-old students) were taken on a field trip to watch their lesbian teacher's wedding.
*In Oct 2008, a Hayward CA public elementary school celebrated "Coming Out Day."
Normalizing & even encouraging children to explore homosexuality obviously causes more to experiment with homosexuality.
"The Legal Liability Associated with Homosexuality Education in Schools... This report is part of an integrated strategy to inform and educate parents, students and school officials across the nation of its contents and of their respective rights and duties. It has documented the concern that the health of students in many schools across the country may have been compromised and their First Amendment rights may have been denied."

Studies clearly show what we already know by common sense...
That just as children are created by a mother and father, they also thrive best by being raised by a mother and father:
