Honestly, why does anybody even care about gay marriage? I could care less what two consenting adults do in their private lives. Does not affect me one bit.

 

"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782"

 

I see all of this discussion by politicians about gay marriage as a distraction from the fact that they are not doing their proper jobs. Don't look at the fact that a budget hasn't been passed in three years. Instead politician R/D is mentioning how they condemn/condone the activities of gays.

 

If it isn't in the constitution it isn't the federal governments business. Last time I checked the constitution said nothing about marriage or gays.

 

I can't say that I totally agree with what you are saying ... but I do agree that politicians on the left are using it as a distraction.

 

I don't support "Gay Marriage". I believe that marriage is defined as the union of ONE man and ONE woman. If you change the definition of marriage to allow "Two Consenting Adults", what is going to stop people from saying "why just two???" Down the slope we go ... The crumbling of the morality of a society is just the first step in the crumbling of society.

 

I don't have an issue with "RIGHTS". All people, regardless of race, creed, gender or orientation should have the same rights. If two homosexuals want to bond in some way similar to a marriage ... fine by me ... just call it something else. It isn't a "Marriage". Call it a "Union", a "Bonding" or a "WHATEVER" ... I don't care ... just don't call it "Marriage". And don't rub my nose in it ... I don't want to know what someone is or isn't doing in "their own home".

 

I am tired of militant gays pushing their agenda on the rest of the populace. Ever hear of the bike event in San Francisco where a bunch of gays get together and ride on public streets in the nude? Let me ask you this ... if a bunch of straight folks decided to do that, would they be able to without getting arrested??? heck no. Of course ... I don't know too many straight people who would have the slightest inclination to do that.

 

No ... I am not a HOMOPHOBE. I am honest. I don't believe in the lifestyle, but I don't condemn them for it either ... that isn't my place. I don't think they have a choice in how they see life, but I do believe they have a choice in how they behave publically (just like we all do) ... militant gays ramming their lifestyle choice down my throat ain't gonna get them any support from me.

 

Also ... Freedom of Speech and Thought is guaranteed by our Constitution. Regardless if it is insensitive or hurts someone's feelings. If the Libs don't like what I say or think ... screw 'em. Think I can be forced or coerced to "toe the line" ... think again ... that is why there is a Second Amendment, and why I train hard several times a week in case that Second Amendment is ever removed.
