America catches up to the modern world (slowly)

Why worry about what some people do with each other?  I don't care if some guy wants to marry a goat... I really don't.  As long as I keep the mental image of two dudes playin hide-the-sausage out of my mind, I figure there's way too much important stuff to worry about.

I feel the same way.  but thats not the issue here.
we aren't arguing over allowing gays to be gay, or do whatever the hell they want to do to each other.  it's not about policing other peoples bedrooms.

it's about legally forcing others to pretend that relationship based in immoral behavior is equal to a real marriage.  they are already teaching these lies to kids in our schools.  it's gone far enough, as it is even bringing up the fact that homosexuality is immoral is  considered a hate-crime by some.

Well, I guess the real question is: Why is homosexuality immoral?  Ok, I don't think I'm an atheist or anything, I'm actually a fairly learned former christion (son-of-a-preacher type), but I've never seen some ultimate omnipitant being pop up and say otherwise.  Animals do it (ok, well, they try.  Heck my dog humps air even), but we have the ability to "think" in ways other than animals do.  Whats the difference.  Immoral Shimmoral... all subjective.  I think Homosexuality is.... freakin weird.  Immorally wrong?  I dunno, and I dunno why it would be really.

I believe in letting people be who they are (within reason).  Makes my life better and keeps my bloodpressure down.  Aint worth the stress.

Yep.  I think it carried the penalty of death in the old testament (been a few years).  Don't remember if the New Testament even commented on it, I'm sure someone here knows.

Most people would agree that there is a standard, or lowest common denominator of accepted beahvior, that western non religious based cultures adhere to.  Without any specific published guide most people try to be polite and kind and to show a level of respect to others.  As such most of us try not to be rude or disrespectful, to disrespect and break laws, to commit acts of un justified violance or to commit murder under most any circumstance.  Without quoteing any religious text I believe this is a standard of morality.

Trashing the institution of marriage, what's the divorce rate for heteros these days?

Most religions only seem to tolerate gays when they're subservient pedophiles, wassup with dat?

Why care or even stand in their way, won't they just ride the turbo train to hell and burn eternally beside Al Franken and the man with no face?
