Interesting. It seems that South Africa is flipping insane.

Using SA as an example of the wonders of same sex marriage isn't a very goo idea when you consider what a **** hole the place is.

Only one who doesn't understand history, or logic for that matter, wonders that.

SA is crappier than most. It only got worse after Mandela took over.

Let me guess, you're more comfortable with a white quarterback and a white coach? Black guys in charge make you... uneasy?

Marriage ;)

Are you telling me that the only type of marriage that can "promote healthy behavior" is government sanctioned marriage?

No, I'm asking you for evidence that private marriage can accomplish the same goals as what we have now.

It sounds like you don't have any? It's just an idea?

Why would black guys make uneasy? Or, is this just of the same, "you mean ole racist", Libbo BS?
 
apdst said:
Everybody. You don't actually think that things improved for blacks in SA after Mandela took control.

Don't you think the end of Apartheid was an improvement?

they haven't. some people just don't have the balls to stand up and be counted for who they are. they would rather live in a false hetero identity than to live like a pariah in the world.

some people are so afraid of the rejection they live in pain and in hiding. when a person tells their parents that they are gay or lesbian there is a huge possibility that they will suffer bigoted rejection even from those that lie about lovely you and accepting you no matter what.

many gays and lesbians live in hiding. they hate their lives and many times the solution to religious bigotry and homophobic hatred is suicide. the churches should be torn down for all the mental damage they put on people.

they churches do nothing except push people in a box of hiding. gay is gay lesbian is lesbian. we can't change that or the feelings. the best anyone does is convince someone to hide.

That beats just the black folks from being the only chance to screwed over.

I guess that makes sense in some twisted sort of way. Did you even read the articles I posted? They don't paint a very pretty picture of South Africa in it's current state. Another 20 years and it will be a failed state just like every other African nation.

Well America was just in great shape after the civil war wasn't it?

Proof of what? That religious persecution contributes to the depression and anxiety of gays and lesbians?

Was that ever in question?
