How does gay sex fit the above? </p>
<p>Unnatural? That means it doesn’t naturally occur, which it does. And non-human animals can be gay. Seriously, just google “gay animals.”</p>
<p>^Sorry…apparently others have made my point before I got a chance to refresh.</p>
<p>Regardless, I’m still arguing with writtennthestars because it proves a point to others.</p>
<p>detrimental to society because of the hatred against gays and think of the children whose parents are both women - oh the torture!
demerit because of all the STD’s and the like, as well as the warped brain cells.</p>
<p>I wasn’t really for gay marriage until I went to my cousins house in Mass. They have gay neighbors (two men) who are both pretty successful and wealthy who obviously love each other (might be gross to you but what ever, get over it). They adopted a baby girl and she is the sweetest thing in the world. She is a genius and I honestly think she is going to be way more wordly and less ignorant because of her upbringing. They’re great parents and it really opened my eyes. </p>
<p>btw, at our school today our football team wore yellow because it’s apparently the opposite of purple and they wanted to show they’re anti-gay… *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>***s i hate all of them (because you were supposed to wear purple today for gay rights).</p>
<p>I thought it was purple to support teenage homosexuals because of all the harrasment and suicides. I condemn the vilification of gays, however that doesn’t mean I support the idea.</p>
<p>^Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re right on that one.</p>
<p>If two guys or two girls get married, does it affect your everyday life? Does it make it so that you are suddenly gay? I don’t think so. However, you do get two happy people. They want a child? Hey, I’m sure there are plenty of children who would love them. A child with two fathers or two mothers is at no disadvantage. Might they get teased? Yes. But so does that boy who likes science or that girl who got toilet paper stuck to her foot. At least the child would be tolerant and could even teach tolerance and acceptance.</p>
<p>But we’re not talking about adoption. We’re talking about marriage.</p>
<p>If two people love eachother, they should have the right to get married, right? Perhaps not in a church but why could they not get married elsewhere? So many straight people get divorced. And gay people can rarely get married.</p>
<p>What do you think will happen when gay people get married? World War Three? A mass revolt? The sun to explode? Ohohoh! I know! Equality, as promised in the Constitution.</p>

<p>This is really old. It went through emails and posted on websites, etc. Kind of humerous.</p>
<p>10 Reasons Why Same-Sex Marriage Is Wrong
- Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. </p>
<p>02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. </p>
<p>03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. </p>
<p>04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. </p>
<p>05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed. </p>
<p>06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children. </p>
<p>07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children. </p>
<p>08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America. </p>
<p>09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children. </p>
<p>10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.</p>

<p>That’s ■■■■■■■■. STD’s come from heterosexual as well as homosexual. This is a middle school response. Get big.</p>
<p>Btw, for straight guys, Gay Guys = More single girls.</p>
<p>Well, yeah of course STD’s come from heterosexuals, but I’m saying they are much more prevalent among the gay community due to the increased likelihood of unprotected sex.</p>
<p>As for your second comment, sounds good.</p>
<p>^All that means is that we have a duty to educate people about having protected sex. It says nothing about gay sex being bad. It says that unprotected sex is bad.</p>
<p>Is there a reason that about 90% of this conversation is exclusively about gay men?</p>
<p>I think gay marriage could be misused? It could not be taken seriously, and be used for bad causes.
Anyway, I personally think that two gays should be able to adopt. There are a lot of orphans, especially in third world countries, who need loving parents away from poverty. If I were one of those children, I would rather be adopted by gay parents, than be left to die. Some people say that growing up with gay parents ruins your life, but many people who have had difficult childhoods grow to be stronger people.
Besides, instead of us all saying “poor little gay parents’ adopted kids”, we should be making sure that children are taught to be respectful and open-minded, that nobody makes those children feel embarassed. Once upon a time, interracial kids didn’t fit in anywhere and were tormented, now, in the 21st century, our thoughts have changed and we treat these children like any other children. I believe all we need is to be more accepting for adoptive children of gays to lead a life without feeling alienated and hurt.</p>
<p>Because many guys think that when two girls are together it’s hot but when two guys are together it’s just unnatural…</p>
<h1>3 is the only logical and sensible platform they can work with IMO as I don’t think there are any extensive studies on children raised in gay households (please feel free to link me to studies if I’m wrong). Other than that, why give a damn either way? It’s silly to deny someone the right to practice something IN PRIVATE because you find it icky (which is why most people oppose gay marriage).</h1>
<p>**In response to Cela’s post. It didn’t copy his response like it was supposed to.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because humans have the ability to choose their actions. Even if a person is born with a predisposition towards certain actions, they are still able to choose otherwise.</p>
<p>And more simply, because there are instances of people who were considered gay choosing to change their lifestyles.</p>
<p>^ Its more than a predisposition towards certain actions. We are talking about love here, just not sex. You can’t choose to love something you don’t like. - I don’t know about you but I hate mushrooms. I can still choose to eat them, but I will always have the strong dislike of them.</p>
<p>A gay person can marry the opposite sex and live a “normal” life but they will still have the preference of the same sex. Its more likely they suppress their feelings to fit into society rather than actaully changing their sexual orientation.</p>
<p>No one is ‘born’ gay. It’s a preference developed through the environment you are brought up in. </p>
<p>It’s all a choice.</p>
<p>Mind backing that up?</p>
<p>So if you are brought up in a very religious family who believe homosexuality is wrong and have 2 straight parents and all straight relatives how does one end up gay?</p>
<p>No guys exit the womb thinking, ‘I like dudes’, it’s built up through years of experience.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Clearly, people who have influenced you. e.g. girls who you have relationships with - may develop a distaste for females, or you may have had very friendly experiences with other dudes</p>
<p>What I would like to know is why some people think that homosexuality is a choice and heterosexuality isn’t. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re saying that you choose your sexuality, right? Why is it that the only people who “choose” anything are the people you oppose/don’t support?</p>
<p>Also, I’d like to see a good rebuttal for the argument that if you did indeed choose to be gay, why choose a life that will probably be filled with people hating you, discrimination, bullying, teasing, etc. A lot of gay people unfortunately do not have it easy. In some countries it is illegal to be gay. Who would wish that on themselves?</p>
