Funny how he was for gay rights etc before getting into office and NOW the party dictates policy. I get so tired of politicians. It is the only job that you can lie at and get away with it.
haha i agree g4egoes4ever said:good
antihero said:its sad......but what i dont understand is: why are so many people against gay marriage, unless they're marrying me, i frankly dont give a shit what they want to do.

goes4ever said:well I am not so much against gays, but I am against giving them special rights because they choose to be gay..........
and thats right I said CHOOSE
yeah dont judge people off things like that, well if yo look at it this way....Stout1 said:Thats my feelings too, plus alot of women LIKE gay men or would date them so I figure its less competition. LOL
Gay, black, white, red, yellow, straight, jewish, muslim, etc. I could give two shits less what you are. I view everyone as equals....I don't judge people off things like that as I think those are trivial things.
PTAaron said:I will never understand why people have such a big issue with it - if 2 people want to be together then they should be allowed to have the same rights as a couple that anyone else has. No one is asking you to accept the fact that they are together... In some states men and women that live together but aren't married have the same rights as married couples - is that right? They are "choosing" to be that way also - not that being gay is a choice... why would people choose to do something that is going to make them hated by many people, become outcasts from many social circles, and in many cases have them abandoned by their families? That is illogical. Enough younger people commit suicide because they can't deal with the fact that they are having homosexual feelings and are afraid to let it be known - that alone should tell you that they aren't "choosing" to do it... why would they choose to die instead of choosing to be straight?
I have a few friends who are gay - a couple actually, and they just got married over the summer in Canada. Being a supportive friend I went to their wedding reception - and you know what? It was just like any other wedding reception.
As far as "choice" - I don't think you can choose if you are gay or straight... buy you can choose how far "over the edge" you go in terms of expressing it. By that I mean the friends that I have you would never know they were gay unless you talked to them about it - contrary to what most closed minded people would expect they work on cars, like action movies, and fit none of the typical stereotypes... on the other hand you get the guys that walk around in pink poofy shirts carrying toy poodles while wearing elton john sunglasses and falling into every stereotype there is - THAT is a choice. Even my gay friends look at that and say "Damn, what a fag!"
Anyway... Sorry to see we have such a closed minded group on here.

if it was gay i believe there would be more toe touching poses :flute:
PTAaron said:No one is arguing anything - debating is different than arguing.
No point in discussing it further though if you are going to pull the "God card". I tend to believe science and scientific explanations over religious explanations.
45plate said:then they have a mental chemical imbalance is that better
goes4ever said:nothing against you, so do not take this wrong...........
But from what I have seen most people who feel it is ok to be gay, are normally non believers.
Like I said nothing against you, just something I have noticed about Non-believers. One thing for certain is, you may not believe in God, but he believes in you.
PTAaron said:It is definitely a chemical difference - all thought is simply chemical reactions in the brain. Some people's brains function differently than others. You can't choose to have a chemical imbalance, so your theory would be better than saying someone "chooses" to do it. Homosexual behavior happens in animals too, I don't know if you could say the animals made a concious choice to be gay - it is obviously caused by something in their genetic make up or their brain chemicals.
PTAaron said:Not taken the wrong way at all - and I'm glad to have a mature discussion (you don't get that on a lot of boards)
I do believe in God - I just don't believe in organized religion.
