That actually backs up my argument since you just admitted that you're not describing a gay lifestyle - you're describing a male lifestyle.

No, I am describing a gay life style that a much larger per capita group lives than in heterosexual circles.

Which is why I think you need to meet more gay people or maybe it's that you've already met them but didn't realize it since they didn't make their sexuality their lifestyle.

I don't need to meet gay people. I work with them, live around them and I don't care who they sleep with. This does not change the disgust I feel for the life style among those I mentioned.

Certainty doesn't do much for the truth. You're describing a subset of gay men and the lifestyle of a subset of gay men does not equal a "gay lifestyle" particularly since it is the same type of promiscuous lifestyle had by subsets of straight men and women.

See this is what I mean. I am describing a majority subset or not. I read the surveys and live around em. I am not blind. I know what it is and how they portray themselves.

I never said gay men= equal gay life style or anything close. I said a majority not all. I suppose this was also a mistake?

I am opposed to normalizing what is obviously abnormal for just one group that is different than the norm, merely for financial benefits. Ive said this more than once a single male or female loves their mother father sister brother just as much and cannot pass on their social security and cover their mothers or fathers with their health benefits. Neither should homosexuals.

I'm sorry, but that comparison doesn't make sense. Say Star falls in love, and after a happy 60th anniversary, her dearly beloved passes on. The way things are now, they were never married and she cannot be provided for. Of course, had she married a man, she would be. Now how is that fair or right?
 
No, I don't think it can be. I really don't.

How do you know? Or are you just guessing because you think you have an all knowing in to my life?
 
Homosexuality and SSM is against my religious beliefs, I don't believe that one is born gay or has no control over becoming gay, and I have not seen any scientific study to prove that wrong.

I don't believe homosexuals are "eveil" or "disgusting" or any other derogatory name anyone would assign them. I believe they should be treated with the same dignity and respect as any other person.

Understandable. But why does that mean they shouldn't be able to get married.
 
I don't think the gays who based their entire lifestyle on their sexuality are all that different than the Christians who based their entire lifestyle on their religion.

Interesting comparison. This works against the contention that gay people don't see their sexuality as being any more important than straight people do.

I don't believe anyone can know enough to have a large enough sample. All are experiences are limited to where we go, who we know, what circles we travel in. I can think of no cases where personal experience has ever been considered enough to answer a question like this.
 
That doesn't matter. Homosexuals are asking for a right that no-one else has, because they are homosexuals.

No. Men can marry women, and that's a right they have that lesbian women DON'T have. Same for women marrying men, which gay men can't do. So we currently have rights that they don't.

I agree, but people or pollsters do it all the time + or - 3% lol. My personal polL may not be as accurate, but it also does not mean it is not correct.

My Pole has been corrected. :lamo

Let's not talk about your personal pole...or did you mean poll? :mrgreen:

Source? Here's mine:

A prevalent stereotype about gay men is that they are promiscuous and are either unwilling or unable to have enduring or long-term relationships. However, several surveys of gay men in the United States have shown that between 40 percent and 60 percent are involved in a steady relationship.[34] Research also suggests that a slightly higher proportion of lesbians than gay men may be in steady relationships.[35][36] A 2007 study reported that two large population surveys found "the majority of gay men had similar numbers of unprotected sexual partners annually as straight men and women."

Then you admit it isn't a "gay lifestyle", it's a "promiscuous lifestyle".

And the problem is that saying "gay lifestyle" equates being gay with a lifestyle. There isn't a "gay lifestyle" because gay people live differently.

Again, depends on which gays we're talking about, and whether they're representative of gays as a whole. CT is referring to the gays that do, regardless of whether they be a minority or a majority.

Although that particular post I think was just meant to be a nasty shot at religious folk.

So if I use conservpedia you will accept that?

Then you admit it isn't a "gay lifestyle", it's a "promiscuous lifestyle".

Ahhh no. One in the same for far to many.

And the problem is that saying "gay lifestyle" equates being gay with a lifestyle. There isn't a "gay lifestyle" because gay people live differently.

OK so if I said: Far to many gay men live an immoral and repulsive style of life." You would be OK with that?

Oh no, not when marriage becomes nothing more than a legal contract.

That's what it is now. It's what the two parties bring to it that make it purely amazing.
 
Let me ask you a few questions.

How do you know I was always a Christian?

Nobody was "always" a Christian.

How do you know every place I have lived in my life?

Can you say you have lived in a community with a significant gay presence and that you have befriended them and seen this so called lifestyle with your very own eyes?

How do you know everyone I have encountered in my life?

So could you specify what exactly it is mean by "that lifestyle" and what is so "repulsive" about it.

Then why do you assume this has anything to do with my contact with people who are gay?

This does not answer my question, but yes for many years.

So could you specify what exactly it is mean by "that lifestyle" and what is so "repulsive" about it.

Again does not answer my questions.

Already have many times.

All of my conservative Wikipedia using and contributing friends would be shaking their heads right now.

Ahhh no. One in the same for far to many.

Sure, since it's just the same as saying "far too many straight men and women life an immoral and repulsive style of life". You're describing promiscuity, it's pretty simple.
