1.)Some posts on this thread got lost. I'll try to pick up where we left off - I had said it should be allowed because that's what freedom is,
2.) but it should be called a partnership because a marriage in matrimony is a union of male and female.
3.) It should also be kept discreet.
4.) Not looked down upon, but not promoted.
5.) I had said the reason for all this is because gay relations are not natural.
6.) Nature did not intend for it
7.) and we shouldn't teach our children that it's normal
8.) and okay, because it's not.
9.) I mean, this should be obvious.....
10.) For those who don't see the obvious
11.) humans are male, and female. There are three possible combinations: MM, MF, and FF. Only one of these combinations are natural, resulting in successful procreation (MF).
12.) The other two (MM,FF) do not work because they are not natural. If nature had intended it, then males would be able to get pregnant. Just because dogs try to hump your leg, or another male dog, does not make it natural. Animals don't have the awareness that humans possess. If a dog sees a human male wear lipstick and move and talk very femininelike, a dog doesn't know the difference. People do, though.....
13.) and you are kidding yourself if you think it's natural and normal, and that we should teach our kids that.
you should try to find out where you got lost and you will see your post is simply incorrect.
1.) without it being equal there is no freedom
2.) SSM factually is marriage and marriage is not just one man/one woman, this fact has been proven repeatedly.
3.) that is up to the people married, no different than all other marriages
4.) again see #3 its no different than any other marriage
5.) other than number/ratio game it factually is natural
6.) nature created it
7.) it is factuallly normal
8.) you thinking its not ok is a meaningless opinion and children absolutely should be taught facts reality and civility. Many people think other religions, equal rights for womren and minorities and interracial marriage isnt natural and ok too. THose people are complete wrong and or thier opinions meaningless to the discussion. If parents want to teach them its a sin etc they are free to but in general all children in this country are taught civility and that there are people in the world that are different genders, races, sexual orientations, different abilities physical and mental, different religions, different social and financial status etc etc and we are taught to be civil and not judge/hate. If this type of common sense civility bothers you, you are free to teach you child what you wish while they are with you or home school/private school your child.
9.) yes its obvious that some of the things you said are factually wrong and some is your opinion at best
10..) see #9
11.) meaningless to the discussion, procreation has ZERO to do with a marriage contract
12.) also meaningless to the discussion
13.) see points above showing facts disagree with you
when you have more than already defeated strawmen let us know.
