Actually, I care about the human race and the direction that this country is heading in. That's why I continue to speak out. When we sit idly by and simply condone evil acts, we open up the flood gates. A case in point is sex out of wedlock. When heterosexuals allowed the entertainment industry to dictate (via movies, tv, radio, books, etc) that it was perfectly ok for couples to engage in sex before marriage, suddenly the family unit began to fall apart. Children (within my generation) grew up believing that sleeping with whomever/wherever is perfectly normal.

Many societal problems actually stem from the fact that people refuse to incorporate morality (understanding right from wrong) into their daily lives. You may believe that homosexuality is right, but you will never be able to point out 1 positive aspect of homosexuality. It's a destructive behavior that will further add to the decline of society.

I do not hate you, I simply want more for the U.S. I don't want to see this nation in the next few years implode due to depravity.

Civil rights are not being violated. You can do anything another normal man or woman can do.

This entire issue has been blown out of proportion with stupid rhetoric
You live a very sheltered life if you believe gay people have never been beaten and spit upon just as African Americans were.

no, gay people can not do anything that normal men and women can, they can not marry the person they love .

No, it would actually be sick. It's very telling that you believe it's ok for people to have public sex in front of families.

I think you have no idea what ethics is, you are severely lacking. Why would you hate me? You have no idea who I even am, what a stupid thing to say.

I suggest you people stop butting into the gay sex so much & start worrying about yourselves. The obsession is unhealthy.

I said I thought it would be hilarious for you, I suspect you'd keel over in fright. Put down the bible & loosen up. You are not a barrel of laughs, truly.

What is the issue?

If your kids are curious because you've shielded them from anything homosexual, the easiest answer to "Why are those two guys holding hands?" is "Because they want to". Just a tip from one mother to another. It's the same answer my dad gave when I asked him why a super fat lady was buying 20 bags of candy.
Children need to be protected and sheltered; that is one of the fundamental roles of being a parent. Furthermore, the mere fact that you teach your children that homosexuality is normal, tells me everything that I need to know about your mindset.

With the right media influences, you can "normalize" any behavior, regardless of how repulsive it may be. Of course it doesn't happen over night, shifts in ideology, beliefs, and behaviors are gradual.

Is the bolded a joke? Do you have the foggiest clue what gays have gone through? How about forced into mental institutes to be stabbed through the eye socket with ice picks. Not to mention, executed, tortured, and imprisoned.

Legally, the same-sex marriage arguments are nearly identical to the interracial marriage arguments.

I'm sure there are many cannibals, rapists, adulterers, child predators and murderers who share the same viewpoint. After all, if they didn't enjoy those activities, they wouldn't engage in them right?
