It sucks.
you don't have to act on impulses. You could just fake it like Da... I tease.

I prefer to believe in free will and that it isn't a genetic thing. Some believe it insulting to say that homosexuality is like being autistic.

I don't remember being 4 yrs old but I find it hard to believe that 4 yr olds are sexually attracted to anything. I'm sure NAMBLA would disagree

I'm not gay so I'll take your word for it.

So what now.. over turn democracy? if we throw out the votes you don't like can I throw out the ones I don't?

AE, could you be attracted to your own sex if you had to be? If it was required of you, could you do it? Honestly, could you?

For what it's worth, I had my first crush at age 5- on Harry Belafonte. My parents had the "Live at Carnegie Hall" album and I liked to sit with the cover and look at the photos of him... sigh...

Ok, I'll bite... "don't act on impulse"? And if someone said to you, "don't sneeze, don't blink, don't breath - don't FALL IN LOVE", could you/would you do it? It's not an impulse, it's something within my core being, it is who and what I am - the same way as I have black hair and brown eyes - sure, I could dye my hair and wear blue contacts but I'd still be a brown eyed brunette at my core. Do I be true to myself and live comfortably (because I am very comfortable in my own skin and secure in who I am) or do I try to change myself so that others are more comfortable with me? Where really is the threat in someone gay? Why do people get so bent out of shape by it? It's not contagious, me loving my wife will not make anyone else love their wife any less, and most importantly - why is who I love any business of yours? (ok, besides the fact that I told everyone I love a woman... but besides that ).

As for overturning the law, the constitution protects the rights of the minority, the majority can not impose it's will on the few when it violates their right to equal treatment. It's about minority rights vs. majority rule. That is why the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the minority in cases like Brown vs. Board of Education and Loving vs. Virginia – each of us has constitutional rights that the majority can not take from us – and that even includes the Supreme Court overturning the District of Columbia’s ban on handguns – the Constitution says we get to own guns! Laws aren’t always right which is why lawmakers can’t pass laws and the people can’t vote to take others rights away once the Supreme Court has said so – and that is what is wrong with Prop 8, the California Supreme Court said same-sex couples had the Constitutional right to marry. The only thing Prop 8 did was delay the process until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a ruling. I’m betting on the Constitution.

No, it just takes being stuck on someone that likes getting married. I bet only half of the gays (that say they want to get married) really want to get married. 1 out of 2. That's all it takes. The other one is gunna be forced to go along.

Dude you are right , not everyone who is gay wants to get married ,and not all hetros want to get married either , its called choice and pretty much everyone should have the right . I cant hardly grasp what the friken hoopla is about , everyone should be free to marry if they are an adult and not related and not married to another person . The whole argument is bogus , gay people getting married has no effect on anybody , and dont bring up the spousal death benifits issue cause there are alot of married hetro people who dont have kids and dont want any and if the discrimination on that is the basis then we need to eleminate married people without children from the SS benifits program so we can spread the wealth around to other folks.
If a church doesnt believe in gay people being married , well good on em , they dont have to , and no one is asking them to , there are church's (gasp)that accept gays and will marry them . I really think for most people who are gay and want to get married they feel just as happy about going downtown to get married and having a grand party afterward as they would about showing up at the local baptist church and tying the knot like the rest of the commoners.

So, why would they make a choice to do something that isn't cherished? Why would they do this?
How's you know what my family is like??

Mortimer is on an ignore list. He mainly comes here to talk about other posters on the site. To Mortimer, the subjects being written about are not nearly as important as who is doing the writing. To him, that's the subject.
