Why is it that all gay people envy regular married people? It’s because they will never have what they have, a normal life. Gay people can NEVER have children, NEVER. That’s why GOD made men and women to fit together because they can have children the natural way. I’m sick of the media and politicians saying everyone has to accept the life style of gays. That’s not true. Less than 800 thousand people are gay and we have over 300 million people that live in the U.S. If it was so accepted then why don’t they put it up to the voters? They never do, the politicians just make it law. What they do in their own home behind closed doors is their business and I don’t care. But don’t push your life style in my face with laws and tell me I have to accept it. I don’t and I won’t and NO law can make me.

My daughter has a wife. I've known about her since she was a teen. You know what. She is educated. Makes about 80 grand a year with a major medical company located in Dallas. Her wife has the same problem with education, job, and who she works for. Wish my straight children were as smart. Although it did bother me at first. So be it. Oh and if you want to marry an animal you might need to check it where they work.

While I do not condone homosexuality, I do see the gay community's point. Why should the government be allowed to determine who marries who? If two gay people choose they want to make a life commitment to one another, let them do that. It is perfectly fine, although not fully accepted, that people of different races marry, so the gay community should be allowed to carry out their rights and beliefs. The last time I checked, being gay does not make you an atheist, and yes many gay people do believe in God. Being gay is their lifestyle. The government has no right to tell them they can not be together legally on paper. I think the government should worry about more important things like jobs, the economy, crime, etc. Meddlesome SOBS.

What was my point, you ask? It does not make sense for same sex people to have sex...not an alternative lifestyle....LOVE THE PERSON, NOT ACCEPT THEIR CHOICE OF HAVING SEX.

Recently I have found that my grandaughter who was raised in a Christian home...her parents are missionaries in Honduras at this time....has decided the "God thing" is ridiculous....SHE IS A MEMBER OF A NUMBER OF HONOR SOCIETIES IN HER COLLEGE, HAS A DOUBLE DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY, GOING FOR HER MASTERS...36 YEARS OLD...I am at a loss...Sure you can make a few points against creation, BUT we have to accept some things on Faith and NO MATTER WHAT THE BEGINNING WAS "IT HAD TO BE GOD". Our world didn't develop out of an explosion or any other molecular incident!!!

Where does the "standard" hold? Sodomites cannot naturally produce offspring. Physiologically, male-male or female-female, is not the natural order of creation. More than that, God created the natural order. Male for female and female for male. When you get to the point where you will not acknowledge how we are designed by God, you have started down the road where anything goes and you will not be satisfied until you pull everyone down to your own perverted ways. We may site studies, facts, reason, statistics, etc.... It will not convince someone who will not acknowledge that which is obvious. Legitimizing sodomite relationships will lead us to the next step in our downward moral spiral. Will it be the plea to naturalize relationships with animals, children, "Angels?" For those of you know the Lord, plead for the light of the gospel to penetrate darkened hearts.

There's a difference between a person marrying an animal versus a person marrying a person. Two people can give their consent where as an animal or child could not. People are trying to define marriage for what it is. A bond of love between two people which is recognized by the state. It shouldn't matter which gender you are if you want to be with the person you love. Divorce rate is so high these days anyways so what do people honestly have to lose?

There have to be guidelines or humans can marry animals or adults marry children. If one thing is acceptable all have to be acceptable. This politcal correctness is way out of control. Let's stop this madness!!!

I suppose it will be ok for humans to marry animals too or adults to marry children. There needs to be guidelines or anything is acceptable. Define marriage for what it is, the bonding of heterosexual couples of an appropriate age.
