He had a straight father figure in his life from day one.

Because I was raised in a Christian home and I do follow the doctrine to a certain extent, I am opposed to gay marriage. But, at the same time, I realize that for many gay's, being gay was not a choice. What I believe is right, and what I believe gays are entitled to are two very different things. I can not agree with gay marriage, but I can agree that it is their constitutional right to do so if they choose.
Just cuz he's "feminine" doesn't mean he's gonna be gay. He's only 12.....don't freak out, not that there's anything wrong with being gay....

PETA would've had me incarcerated when I was his age.....with all the ant toasting I did with my magnifying glass......it does seem kinda weird looking back on it.

Would've been weirder with my mom's high heels though......

But let's be honest - you couldn't care less. You don't care a bit about 'misused parts', it's just a simplistic rationalization that happened to jibe with your homophobia, and you didn't bother to think through the implications of your silly, ad hoc justification.

Just like I thought, you make it complicated to force acceptance/normal-ness.
Again, simple.
That is how we came out of our mother's womb. Either male or female.
Call human nature (men belong w/women vice versa) silly, ad hoc justification, all you want.
I'm outta here.

In order to accept homosexuality, you have to have a certain level of intelligence. It's useless to argue with some people because they don't have the intellectual capacity to understand it.

Rev Rent Boy was one of those anti-Gay Rev's who basically hid the fact that he was gay while preaching gays were evil and all of that nonsense. Wound up he actually was Gay and hired someone from rentboy.com/ He actually had ties to some of those who were arguing against Gay Marriage in this case.
wow he is kinda hypocritical huh.

We had him for nearly 10 years. He was 5 when we adopted him. So at 15, he had a stroke (don't even say it!! ) and was no longer able to eat/drink. I suspect his brother will be following him very soon.

Total Jazz Kitty though... just the most laid back, cool chillin' cat ever. I still miss him daily.

If you believe in restricting marriage to one man and one woman, you must not truly believe in freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Ah, the famed liberal tolerance. Everyone who disagrees with me is stupid.

Here's another scenario for you. I believe that the Muslims have the constitutional right to build their mosque two blocks from ground zero, but at the same time, I feel that building a mosque in this particular location is in the poorest of taste in light of 9/11. Does that make sense?

I have several friends that are gay. One in particular fought SO hard to be straight at the beginning that it was pathetic to watch. Finally, he came out, and has been much happier since. I wish them the best. The problem is that most of the gays on this thread are often very hostile. You are either with them 100% or you are their enemy. At least it seems that way from the many responses I've gotten. If you are not with them all the way, you are an obstacle. There seems to be no middle ground.

Do not EVER say "pursuit of happiness". it's not part of the constitution, nor is it a right, nor should it be a right.

WHat makes pedophiles happy? Having sex with kids. Should they have the pursuit of happiness to do that?

Serial killers, what makes them happy? Killing people.

Think before you type, please.

THe constitution protects, life, liberty, and property.
