Like most everything else, the societal need to belong in humans causes like-minded (common interest) individuals to band together. The idea here is the regular concept of ‘normal’ simply doesn’t fit. Alienated by their own culture, a sub-culture has emerged (this one specifically is an outcropping from punk) which they have joined with their own sense of values, aesthetics, and economics. The point is not to be ‘virulently individualistic’-that is impossible- but rather separate from the norm from which we do not ascribe. There is a large cross-pollenation of underground cultures; I’m sure myself and others would not be detected by you on an everyday basis. Punk, goth, reggae, homosexuals (best partymongers on the planet) and more commonly come in contact with each other and live IMHO far more harmoniously than what I see in mainstream society.

This is not the response I would expect from men, however. Pornography will end when men can keep their libido in check. My recommendation: don’t hold your breath. And for the why: Because nothing beats the press of flesh. Images on a screen or magazine are poor substitutes for sex, plus I get the bonus of an *actual* relationship! The Earth has spun from its orbit!

Polygamy is a battle basically already fought, and it died of its own accord. Gay relationships have been around since recorded time, and in no danger of leaving us anytme soon. Since I don’t think anyone wants to read replies which would be better off simply being printed in paperback, let’s asterisk the entire argument as incomplete and that many nuances are going to be sacrificed on the altar of expediency. While the ritual of marriage is traditionally performed through the church, ultimately its legitimacy comes from a marriage license, hence from the state. Secondly, a marriage is ultimately about a committment. People simply are scared; not necessarily a bad thing or a slight against anti-gay marraige people. Xenophobia is the ultimate culprit. As for ‘benefits’, the gay community brings in a higher per capita income than the average US household. Implcations of freeloading need to be dropped. What really needs to be asked is how gay marriage is supposed to be more nefarious than what already exists. If gay relationships are allowed to exist, if gay partners can have stable relationships, if gay individuals can be productive members of society (and by extension pay their taxes), what more debt do gay individuals have to prove they are not a detriment to society? Marriage, stripping away the religious doctrine (which, as an atheist, you need to do otherwise how can legitimize marriage at all?) is ultimately about committment. As long as gay marriage falls within the parameters of what already exists (40% divorce rate and all), then they are on par with the same level of sanctity that heterosexuals have imbued upon bearing the mantle of exchanging vows. It will end with gay marriage because: 1.) It is about two individuals going through the ritual known as dating, finding themselves in a loving, mutually satisfying and trusting relationsip. The growth of their relationship has reached as crescendo that, to the exclusion of others, make and oath that they have found someone in their life worthy enough to become their family. 2.) It is about the individuals involved, not what the individual represents. Parallels to beastiality, pedophilia, incest, etc. are false. Those are about satisfying a fetish, not about caring for someone you consider an equal. .

Nothing more, nothing less. We live in an age of indulgence and immaturity, and when people don’t get their way out come the insults. And we naturally go for what we think is going to hurt, hence this crap. Same mentality trying to snipe someone and say they have a small penis, are a closet fag, the n*bomb, towelhead, ad nauseum. Heck, I’ll admit I got testosterone coursing through my veins just like any other guy, but I don’t even kiss on the first date let alone look for sex. Sometimes I’m happy my parents grew up in the ’50’s instead of the ’60’s. Etiquette is very sorely lacking in modern America.
