Quote by: trixmix That is a concept I will never grasp, nor do I think that it should even be an issue...Frankly, I am getting quite sick & tired of hearing about it...Marriage is a union between a man & a woman...PERIOD...If the gays want their 'domestic partner' arrangements to be able to include death benefits, inheritance issues, insurance etc. etc. so be it...I can deal with that, and do feel that they are entitled to these things if they are in a long term relationship, I suppose. But, let's not take the sanctity of marriage and rewrite it's definition and what it stands for...True, lately 'marriage' has become a term for combining two things together, as in restaurants-when they combine 1/2 ketchup bottles together, they call it 'marrying the ketchup'...which is all fine & dandy...When I am in a hurry I describe it to others that I was flying, it doesn't mean that I grew wings & actually 'flew'. But, when we are talking about 'marriage'...the true definition is 'to join as a union as husband & wife' (husband being defined as the 'male' partner in a marriage, and wife - the 'female' partner in a marriage)...There is no bending that! We don't classify grown people as adults, and youth as minors and have a third classification of minors that are acting as adults, or vice versa. It's cut & dry...a marriage is a union of 'husband' and 'wife' or man & woman...bottom line. They can't have their cake & eat it too...They are in a lifestyle that takes them out of the norm...They cannot be 'married' nor should they be allowed to adopt children. (which I might add, is one of the main reasons that I definitely don't advocate gay marriage)
What gay people are not understanding is, the more we push this lifestyle, the more we are stifling population growth...Not that it's even come close to making a dent in the population yet, but just think...The more gay couples there are, the less procreation that is going on...And let's face it, God designed us with the ability to have sexual relations-for what? For fun? Or wasn't there another purpose behind it? Oh yes, procreation, or basically, survival of the species. Just think of the extinction issues we'd have if the animal kingdom decided to follow 'gay lifestyles'...They would wipe themselves off the face of the earth...And we'd never be able to slowly bring back the condors or the pandas or whatever other animal that we've saved from being known only in museums and science textbooks.
Unless, of course we started artificially inseminating them, or even more macabe-we could allow them the right to 'same sex-same species' marriage, then perhaps they would be allowed to adopt offspring...and continue on with their existance....before being extinct. |
