I totally agree with you.

These kids seeing tolerance is NOT acceptable.

They should be watching the republicans shoving the two men apart and putting them in jail, instead.

not all of Canada, only in Ontario and Quebec, i think....

British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario.

Ottawa's got a bill before it to encompass all the rest.

In Canada gay marriage is legal for know. To each his own right? Not!!!
I'm sick of turning on the TV and seeing two guy's kissing, or whining that they want some additional benefit. This is not sending a positive message to today's youth. And I'm definetely tired of the whining about equal right's, it's a daily thing in the new's here. I also believe that a gay couple should not be allowed to adopt a child. No I'm not gay nor a religous fanatic, just good old family values.

B) Ide love to see you a minority and repressed by the rest of society. Then ill see your ass whine about wanting equal rights. Yeah it's pretty easy to pick on the little guy until you are the little guy. aint it?

And screw family values. You people need to stop reproducing already. Is it just Arm or am I the only one aware that the Earth is dangerously overcrowded and we need to reduce our population, not increase it. And besides, kids are worthless brats that exist only to torture their parents and ruin their life.

And what about 2 chicks kissing? Attractive lesbians kick ass.
Arm loves his lesbians even though they don't really care for me.

year but it's only in porn that the lesbians are hot in real life they are just scary

i totally agree with your point Arm about the equal rights not being imoprtant untill one is the one being suppressed. Perhaps if there weren't people in the world like him we wouldn't be having this debate now. Homosexuals and any other group for that matter aren't looking for special treatment....just eqaul, and even though i might not personally want to even imagine being gay i have a strong belief that ALL are equal.
I say to all biggots if you don't like the gay life...DON'T BE GAY....but let others live as free as you do. It's their life and they have the right to live it how they wish without being punished for that choice.

P.S arm...I have 3 children with 1 on the way so i might just be totally responsible for crowding your space.. Also they don't actually torture their parents untill they become teenagers :helpsmile: . Guess i have been lucky my children are the way they are (so far )

Well it seems I'm a minority here.
Some things:

1. I am a Christian so of course I'm against gay marriage and civil unions.
I'm against civil unions because it discriminates against heterosexual single couples.

2. I view homosexuality as being wrong...keep in mind so is fornication.

3. I do NOT believe homosexuals are evil and should be beaten or spat on. To me they are just sinning and everyone here sins. They are still just doing something between two consenting adults.

4. I also do NOT believe homosexuality is something you are born with. I believe you choose what type of PERSON you want to love...whether a woman wants a roughneck man or man wants a roughneck........man.

Most homosexuality is a learned way of life. Believe it or not most heterosexuals "learned" to be that way. Observe they way some homosexual men act. Where do they get this pseudowoman way of talking? If a group of guys were born together, lived in seclusion through adulthood they will probably have sex with each other. Were they ALL born gay? You like what you like as they say...whether you realize it at childhood or adulthood.

Keep in mind the "learned way of life". For children, the more something is around them and the more it is accepted, the easier it is to choose it. Imagine a little girl who sees the lifestyle alot. She won't necessarily choose it herself but it is much easier to do so. There are a number of women that I know from college that hung around a certain crowd and tried different things.

Ever heard of being "turned out". Imagine a woman and man are married. The woman, at the wrong place at the right time, has gay sex with another woman. She realizes that she wants to have sex with women now. She wasn't born gay. She experienced something new and liked it.

7. I am not surprised by most of the responses here, seeing that most members of this board DO NOT subscribe to any particular religion but basically believe there is a "higher being" (some not even that).

8. Any Christian church or pastor who condones homosexuality is a hypocrite.
Even logically, one would have to rely solely on science to propagate when the opposite sex is equipped naturally.

9. If there is a separation between church and state argument is to be made then:

A. Gay marriage should be allowed.

B. Polygamy should be allowed.

C. Prostitution should be allowed (just pay taxes like everyone else).

D. There should either be all-in-one public bathrooms or four separate ones.

E. Gays should be allowed in the military (even if they are out of the closet).
There should again be 4 separate gendered barracks or all-in-one.


I do not think all change is good. The things that are happening are very prophetic.

I have no problems with points 9A-E either.

I see no reason why a Religions morals should be shoved down my throught as "Law".

A Law should be something that protects society, not a Church or similars moral outlook, its therefore correct that things such as Murder and Theft should be against the Law, but other "Commandments" such as Adultery, Honouring your Mother and Father, Worshipping false idols etc shouldnt be.

The same goes for sexuality...its a "Moral" thing at most (and then only to a certain part of the populous), not something that should be enshrined in law.

Well done that man.

Although i could not imagine being nagged by more than one wife, I have no problem with others doing that if they wish

Some men will still cheat if they have seven wives.



....man........if polygamy was allowed it would:

1. Create massive paperwork for the government.

2. Mormons will celebrate..........but they won't be unique.

3. Marriage would be up 70%.........

4. ............but so would divorce.

Actually the couple just being gay won't necessarily harm the child more than the child already has been harmed.

Imagine a foster child bumped from home to home. Now imagine that child in a homosexual couple's home who happens to have the financial resources and the love to give to the child.
