Fox News Poll: Most Voters Say Allow Gays to Serve Openly

You mean like gays are to Christians?

Excuse me? There are a LOT of gay Christians. Are you trying to say that gays are "Godless".

Please...go to a gay pride event. about 75% of the entries are gay christian groups :doh
(But you probably will say that they couldn't POSSIBLY be Christian and be gay. Right?....let me give you a clue...being Christian and being "Christian" are very often polar opposites).
 
are you a real doctor? If you don't know the answer to that I really can't help you.........

The personal attacks aren't necessary, Navy. Please tell me how a child's innocence will be lost if they are made aware of the existence of homosexuals. I'm dying to hear your reasoning behind this.
 
Who says they are not? No other group gets this special class. I guess discrimination is ok if it is not gays.

Why would it require a special class to explain to children that some guys like guys and some girls like girls? It's not like it requires an in depth explanation. Like I said earlier, parents should be doing this stuff to begin with.

They can call themselves Christian but willingly and knowingly sinning is not Christian.

Children at that age do not need to know about that. They need to learn how to write and read and do math.

Parents do. This gays pushing that they are normal and using schools to indoctrinate the children.
 
Seems contradictory. You talk about living by the rules and the Navy not being a democracy and then in the same breath you say that you and your shipmates will fight against the rules until your last breath.

No I am out of the Navy, I believe that there will be a mass exodus if God forbid that happens.........

If its settled law I will forget about it and watch the military crumble, the same for gay marriage, if the SCOTUS rules in favor of gays I will be done with it.I wish I could say the same for you on the issues...........

Depends on what age we're talking about, here. Sex education starts pretty early in a lot of school systems, and how each grade is taught is different. For example, you are not going to address 5th graders in the same way you would address 11th graders.

So how are you going to explain it to them when they are confronted with it, whether it be seeing it on television, having friends who happen to have homosexual relatives, etc.? By your same logic, children don't need to know about heterosexuals either without going into specific details that will somehow shed them of their innocence. It's a bogus excuse.

That's my whole point, though. Homosexuality can be explained without bringing sex into it.
 
I see voters preventing it and gays trying to use courts to take that vote away.

and who is it that is funding the anti-gay marriage vote?

Or I ask again...are you just playing obtuse?

it is being taught to kindergarten.

That's true, but I think that most early sex education is focused more on biology and the pregnancy/birthing process, rather than sexual behaviors. I don't think that homosexuality should be ignored, but it should be discussed in the proper context.

If the law is changed what can I do.....I will obey the law until its revoked when our military goes to hell in a hand basket as there will be violence against gays and a mass exodus of good Officers and Chiefs causing the military cayous....There will be lots of fights if a gay guy looks at a straight guy in the wrong way.........It will be a total waste........
 
it is being taught to kindergarten.

I need two pieces of proof. One, that it is being taught in kindergarten, and two that it is being TAUGHT. Or at least define what you mean by "taught".

Very true, and I think a lot of the paranoia surround sexual education for children that young is based on people thinking that they will be teaching kids about lude and disgusting things. Obviously, that wouldn't be the case. They will teach the kids what they can handle at that age.

At that age sex is not a factor.Why do schools get to decide at what age this is taught.

I would say 5th grade would be soon enough and I am sure most parents will already have explained it to the kids.

Problem is the gays don't want Christian parents bringing morality in to the discussion.

I developed and ran a sex ed. mini-program in one of the facilities in which I worked. It was for teens and younger than teens. The two groups were addressed differently based on their age and maturity levels.
