why do you think it's fear that people have of homosexuality?

it's about having a group of people with an abnormal value set with regard to how female and males operate in an intimate (one on one) setting.

to be homosexual - male + male or female + female oriented discounts the way normal people operate in the world.

you must know this.. .right?

Why are people so hell bent on forceing thier veiws of what the world is suppose to be like and lives are so to be lived by, in each others faces. I don't care what my neighbors do in thier own homes. If thier gay, so be it. If they walk around naked on thier own property, so be it (only if she real good lookin ). Good greif, get over it.

Gee, I guess she should have used the word "revulsion" instead of "fear". Although I think the word "bigotry" suits the situation best. I guess anyone who does things in a way that is not "normal" for you has something wrong with them. To a homosexual, having feelings for the same sex is normal. Why can't you just live and let live?

Oh so you are the judge on normal right? Is eating peanut butter on a baked potatoe normal? Cause I have a kid who likes it that way. Is that okay with you? Is anal sex between a heterosexual normal? Please let me know that too so I can conform to what you say is normal! Oh and the question was not why are people afraid of homosexuals, but rather what are they afraid will happen if gays can exchange wedding vows....

Same old arguments brought out again and again. It amazes me: "I won't support a candidate who is for gay marriage, it's against the bible." Yet, there's no problem supporting a candidate who is for keeping divorce legal, or premarital sex legal, or any number of issues that go against the bible's strict regulations that can also be interpreted any number of ways and regularly are.

Every excuse against gay marriage is used to cover the true belief of the opposer "I think it's icky, they're different, and I am better than them" You know, kinda like they did with segregation and such.

And what about all the politicians who have been married 3 or 4 times or accused of adultery?
