Same sex marriages, good or bad

[strongsmartsexy]

Subconsciously Yes...What's your point?

It was in response to a statement about "choosing" to be gay.

I just feel sorry for the child(ren) who will have to deal with the humiliation growing up with two gay parents.

I had to sit and cogitate for a while before responding to this since it hit close to home emotionally. Not in a gay context but in an inter-racial context. You see, this is the same lame, biggoted, pile of bullshit I was handed when I had a black girlfriend in 1972. Both my parents and her parents used that argument for why we shouldn't date, let alone eventually get married and have children! Oh, the humilation they'd be subject to. In the end it was her family's overriding hatred of anything white that made the relationship virtually impossible, and she broke it off.

Of course in my father's case it as his Conservative Absolute that white's should marry white's and black's should marry blacks that allowed me to begin to look much harder at many other things he held as absolutes as well.

As an aside, this came from two VERY religious families. One staunch Lutherans, and the other staunch Southern Baptists. Their "god" must be so proud...

Always comes back to religion doesn't it? Isn't that a load of shit?

....you choose to be heterosexual?.......that was your statement...

Would like to know the process you went through to decide that you had chosen to be straight; probably the same [mirror image] of what a gay person goes through when he chooses to accept his sexuality....

It's a non-issue. Gays are alrady getting married, so nothing we can do now.

but it will finally HIT HOME when we first hear that star baseball player or football player marry his teammate. Only THEN will it shock middle America.

Or imagine a President divorcing his wife and marrying a man while in office. Since it's legal -- do you think it's wrong then?

I think most of the public's attitude is "i don't care, as long as I don't hear about it or see it". But trust me, you WILL see it very publicly, and very soon. It's a bigger issue than most straight people think.

btw: I hope it becomes legal. Can you imagine how much money you can make hiring "Gay Wedding Planners" and contracting them out. The amount of gay marraiges will skyrocket in the next couple years, and the demand will be HUGE! I love finding financial opportunities whenever possible.

Only if they make a hit television show out of it! Straight planer for the gay marriage.
