What you're forgetting is that the choice of mate is part of the child's upbringing. By design, same sex couples who presume to rear children deprive them of either a mother or a father, whereas traditional marriage provides the opportunity for parents to teach their children, by example, how husbands and wives ought to relate to each other. Now obviously many straight couples can, and do, teach it way wrong; but just as obviously, same sex couples can't teach it at all.
Silly post. It takes a village, and there are always grandparents, straight friends and others to help - hell, half the children America are taught by the TV these days, in gay or straight homes. You act as though gay couples live on Mars.
Pretty nobody gives a **** what your so-called church has to say. They are not relevant when it comes to civil laws.
For quite a while I was neutral to in favor of it, it evolved over time , and when the time came, I was ok with it, with one caveat ....leave children out of the equation.If you have them prior to your epiphany , fine, but to facilitate adoptions,surrogates,turkey baster babies etc ,not ok...there is something wrong with using other human beings to live out your fantasies , and then with the tranny crowd riding on their coat tails [which is strange because over the years , none of my friends,family etc approved of trannys, they were an annoying embarrassment , a stereotype and they shunned and laughed at them ], I no longer support it because it's really out of control , bizarre and what is happening to kids is sick , cruel and long term destructive
Well with the redefining of marriage, and the uncertainty of gender as born, perhaps the culture might find it wise to do away with family as we know it and stop using gender related terms. Our culture now finds it offensive.
In response to that, you are 100% correct. Gays could call their contract a "civil union" or by any other name. However they insist on calling it "marriage". In a tradition meaning....it is no way close to "marriage" which is the foundation for "family".. That is what Christians find offensive. So instead of coming up with their own words for their "civil contract", they want to redefine ours.
Asinine? You are the one taking the stand that definitions that are gender related should be neutral. If you weren't such a progressive hypocrite....you would be pleased.
"half the children America are taught by the TV these days, in gay or straight homes. " This situation our culture finds itself in seems not only acceptable, but pleasing to you and the Progressive left. By pushing a gender neutral agenda and redefining it, it seems you want to make this redefinition a mainstay.
When you say "nobody" you take the position that everyone is "godless". That is where you are sorely wrong. You are correct in the sense that the culture rules the government and it has taken a plunge into the sewer. You are wrong when you say those of faith should no longer have a say. By the way, your attempt to belittle by calling it the "so-called Church" is very juvenile. Church- iglesia is the original name given to the BODY of Christ. When you diminish it, you diminish an awful lot of people.
Why does that post tend to baffle the gender confused that wants to redefine gender? Are you really confused or does it go to the heart of your agenda and you find it a mite threatening?
Do you really believe that all moms and dads are great role models? I know many gay parents and they are wonderful role models. They teach their kids how parents relate to each other. What is the role of a mother? What is the role of a father? Why not just make it the role of a parent to teach their kids how parents relate to each other. What is the role of a mother? What is the role of a father? Why not just make it the role of a parent?
Don't speak for Christians because many gay Christians marry. Civil union does not offer the same advantages of marriage. Perhaps everyone should have a civil marriage and then afterwards choose to get married in a church if they want ? Remember when blacks couldn't marry whites? Times change as well as prejudices

Yes I support gay marriage. It's also very low on my "don't give a crap" list. A dude wants to marry a dude, why would we need to bicker about it?
It's not MY ****ing agenda. No worries, you apparently like to come off as an *******. No problem. Do what you do.
A gay practicing Christian is like a Islamic Pig Farmer.....they don't exist. Come off this interracial marriage thing. Nothing in the tenants of Christianity says anything about it. Marriage is between one man and one women period. "Jesus Christ , the same yesterday. today, and forever".
If Heather really has two mommies, what does it mean to be a mother? Reading comprehension seems not to be your thing. Without even getting into whatever that might mean, you're not in any position to render such a judgment, because you don't see what those children see. No, they teach them how one parent relates to a legal guardian in the same household. Sure, like you're interested. They're under the guardianship of two insane people. Figure it out from there. Yes, at least since WW2, every succeeding generation has been increasingly tolerant of insanity. There's no such thing.
