She is a well-spoken Chicken Little. She screams the sky is falling, but not how and why. It is absurd.

Will the legal recognition of gay marriage stop. . .

Heterosexuals from seeking a mate?

Heterosexuals from dating, getting to know this possible mate?

A heterosexual man from proposing to the women he loves?

A heterosexual woman from accepting or refusing that proposal?

Heterosexuals from marrying? Is there a limit to the number of marriage licenses that can be purchased and issued each year?

Married Heterosexuals from having sex?

Heterosexual couples from having children? Does gay marriage impact either way in the fertility of heterosexual couples? Does it influence their decision when to have children?

Heterosexual couples from going to the church of their choice? Raising their children in that church? Stop those children from going to Sunday school? Youth groups?

Heterosexual couples from being prudent, caring, loving, parents?

Legislators from drawing up bills and promulgating stricter divorce laws?

Marriage as vehicle for procreation and building families will continue. There will be no great moral and civic cataclysm.

Another missed point by someone who just doesn’t seem to understand the foundations of a civilized society.

ESP, the short and quick answer to your questions, for the most part is a BIG FLAMIN’ (pun definitely intended) yes!

By redefining marriage as simply a means to declare one’s love of another and destroying it’s traditional function to society that is to discourage those heterosexuals who would copulate (thus running the risk of bearing children) from making choices that would be detrimental to the development and health of the children they would create.

Those against legal recognition of gay “marriage” are less concerned with the wishes and welfare of the “heterosexual couples” to which you refer. We are more concerned with the implications to the CHILDREN that will definitely be harmed with this bastardization of the term “marriage.”

Get some comprehension skills when you have a chance, they do help when attempting to shoot down opinions differing from your own.

Bryan, I had been trying to put into words what I was feeling in my heart and in my head about gay and lesbian marriage. Then I read Dennis Prager’s Judaism’s Sexual Revolution: Why Judaism (and then Christianity) Rejected Homosexuality.

It gets to what I have been feeling for many years, that it is secularism versus any type of religious belief and ultimately the survival of Western civilization. I realize that in some people’s eyes it makes me a bigot. So be it. I think there is much more at stake than being afraid to hurt someone’s feelings.

I hope you get a chance to read the article.

Kathy - Being against the redefinition and bastardization of marriage most definitely does NOT make you a bigot - as long as you tolerate homosexuals as human beings.

It just shows you are an independent thinker who just doesn’t buy in to this politically correct, moral-relative B.S. agenda that is pushing for something that will not help but will absolutely hurt society as a whole.

Chet, I know I am not a bigot. I was just preempting the knee jerk reaction that is used when you say anything unPC. It’s analagous to the “illegal alien” argument. If you are against them coming into this country illegally, here in Arizona, you are branded a racist by our daily paper. One of our columnists even writes that we should honor these illegals as “heroes” for daring to brave the adversity and challenge of an illegal border crossing. I just sometimes feel as if I am living in a parallel universe. What part of illegal is a hero is beyond my comprehension; just as the need to redefine marriage between a man and a woman is. I firmly believe in equal rights, just not in redefining civilization.

I think if you get a chance to read the article, you’ll see where I am coming from.
