I had no problem with that video. Just like I have no problem with same-sex marriage.

Or move to states like New York, Massachussets, DC or Iowa, where gays are allowed to marry.

Nothing to do with gay marriages

btw, only 4 countries in Europe have legalized and recognized gay marriages -- how many countries are in the European union? Hint: its more than 25
So children raised by gay parents have no propensity towards being gay? I don't believe all gays are born that way. With all the gay liberation it seems odd that there are so many more gays in their their 20's now than there ever were. And I don't think it is just that they were afraid to come out and now they're not.
By the way don't accuse everyone who is against gay marriage of bigotry towards gays. Many gays I know want nothing to do with gay marriage anyway.

Do you believe all straight people are born that way? ..... but all gays are not.... Kind of a weird thought, ain't it. Seems logical though. If you're born gay, you could turn straight and if you're born straight you can turn gay. OR maybe you were just born that way. Someone should write a catchy dance tune for this. Cue video starting @ 2:50.

Then someone should mock it.

Same response as my first...



Ahhh the second gay response, accuse someone of trolling when closed minded bigots doesn't work....

Gays are so predictable in their responses...
I am retired and am not gay, never have been, never will be. I'm interested in gay rights just the same as you may be interested in gun rights. It's a human rights issue. I've also noticed that some people who express the most hate may be harboring the most inclinations...

No, children raised by gay parents have no propensity for being gay. Probably 99% of all gays were raised by your typical heterosexual families. The overwhelming majority of gays have no choice in the matter.

As for liberation, it's exactly that people are less afraid of coming out. A few decades ago, coming out as gay could easily get you killed or abused. As society has become more accepting, more gays feel safe to admit they are gay. The statistics on the gay population have not changed. They have been quite consistent for all of human history.

Australians are jerks. I guess you have never been to Australia or New Zealand. You can save yourself some travel time and expense and just ask a New Zealander about Australians.

BTW- New Zealanders are very nice. Australians are as*holes on a good day, mate.

60% of New Zealanders support same sex marriage.

Oh really? I have several friends from Australia who are nice. I lived down under for a year and none of the natives were ever jerks.
