Your boy "Poco Loco" Herring seems to be perseverating on gays, so perhaps you can convince him to tell us what he bases his objections on. I'm aware that some of the religious bigots object to gays on "biblical grounds," but that seems vacuous, since there are so many concepts and rules in that book that the bigots ignore. One of the bigots here brought up the "marriage is for procreating" bull****, something I've not heard in years. What's left in reasons to object? I have no objections whatsoever to any of the Glibitzers marrying any of the other Glibitzers. Hell, I think it's pretty much a joke. Do they 'need' the word 'marriage' to make themselves feel 'whole'? Just stop cramming the behavior down my throat in every TV show as though it's 'the norm' in the country. Hope you're having a great day! |

One of the bigots here brought up the "marriage is for procreating" bull****, something I've not heard in years. What's left in reasons to object? From a modern, practical and non-religious point of view I think the main objection is based on the same reason that gays are striving *for* legal recognition of same sex marriages. Money. Those who are pushing for legal recognition of same sex marriages are doing so in order to qualify for the same tax breaks and financial/social benefits that heterosexual married couples enjoy. Otherwise, there is no compelling reason to have legal recognition of gay couples living and sharing their lives together. They can just do so. There are no laws against it that I know of. Remember, it wasn't very long ago that the remote *concept* of legal, same sex "marriages" was unheard of. The concern many have is where do you draw the line? The government giveith and the government takeith away when it comes to tax codes. Those who object based on religious grounds are really in the same boat you are in when you complain about religious organizations working to influence legislation that furthers their interests. You object because it "jams their beliefs down your throat". Maybe some people want to raise families and teach their children in older, more traditional beliefs and values. A government that condones same sex marriages is probably just as offensive to some people as the religious zealots are offensive to you. Disclaimer: This is my gut feeling for the objections some have. It is not necessarily what I believe. I believe that I really don't give a ****. |

I saw an article in the paper tonight. http://www.lgbtqnation.com/ I see the 'Q', but couldn't find what it was supposed to represent. I found this story interesting: http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2013/12/fla-teen-convicted-of-having-sex-with-underage-girlfriend-released-from-jail/ "The case garnered attention as Hunt’s lawyers claimed that authorities wouldn’t have gone after her if the situation had involved a male and a female instead of two teenage girls." I guess the lawyer is saying if a man had sex with the 14 year-old, that would have been OK. I'm wondering when the push will come to add 'P' (for pedophilia) to the list of letters. Hope you're having a great day! |
