That is like asking, ‘Are men attracted to men or women?” It varies.

As individuals in our society, they have the right as any other citizen to marry a person of the opposite gender.’ there are no ‘special rights’ involved. all people want is a recognized union with someone they love and care about, which is given to different-sex couples but not same-sex ones.

Society does not need to endorse or condone any inappropriate behavior that is unacceptable to the functioning of a civilized society. This has nothing to do with fear and eveything to do with values, family and the long-term health of children.’ i guess nobody ever informed you that homosexuality is not a choice. you can choose a lifestyle, but you cant choose what sorts of feelings you have. i would like to hear why you think homos affect the functioning of society, family, and childen’s health, because this part has me absolutely puzzled. ‘I think it’s an outrage that gay people want to have the same rights to marriage that straight people do. Back in the 1930s, there was no such thing as gay people. If you were gay, you kept it to yourself because someone could kill you and they’re only defense would be, he was gay. Then in the 1970s you saw everything…So now gay people can be gay, someone can know about it, they can even walk down the street and hold hands with another gay man and have no fear of what’s going to happen. But alas, that’s still not good enough. Gay people want their own schools and, most appalling, the right to marry. Why is it that I can’t go to an all-Christian school for free, but gay people can go to an all-gay school? I think it’s sad that we’ve become this type of society.’ did you know that not too long ago, black people could be lynched for no good reason, just for being black basically? should we go back to those times? dont you think that a decrease in killing/violence is a GOOD THING? and the reason you can’t go to a christian school for free is that THERE IS A SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE. ‘I think the historical point of supporting married couples is the hope that they will eventually have children who will be valuable and productive members of society. Since there is no way for a homosexual couple to naturally bear children together, they don’t receive as much societal support. The concept of marriage has always been intended for straight relationships. People just haven’t yet been able to expand that concept to include gays.’ OK, so what if a straight person has issues with infertitilty? should we refuse them the right to marry? how about a straight person that simply has no interest in having children? there is no government push, explicit or implied, that you are supposed to have children.
