Da Realist
Master Don Juan
Here's a thing I've learned from the Bible (I know, I'm on a roll): never look down on your fellow man or make him your enemy because the real fight is from the one's in power themselves. When I see your posts, you kind of go from looking at the the people who support stuff just to get elected or to make money, to actually having beef with gays as a whole. The way I look at it is that for the most part, people have a "I would rather die standing than living on my knees))" mentality. There maybe some guy pushing his own desire out there, but the group for the most part is just a bunch of regular people who want the same rights and priviledges as given to everyone else. It's easier said than done because the last century was really when people tried to put it into work. I don't see the gay man himself as the threat, but more of how people react and how I would be judged if I followed the same route. Like I said earlier, I wouldn't support gay marriage at my church, but I'm not going out my way to condemn another house for what they do because I know they can point the finger right back at me for what I've done. Saying that, I think the biggest threat to straight marriage is the people themselves who are make the vow and break it. Gay men or women don't have that ultimate power.ketostix said:My sentiments exactly. And not all sins or biblical laws are weighted equally. It wasn't considered a sin to get drunk. Jesus himself drank wine. It was considered sinful to be a drunkard or alcoholic.
Anyway the issue here is a pragmatic one. Gays want to be considered as equally valid to heterosexuals. What they actually want is preferential treatment, as if they're some "disadvantage minority group", and they are getting that already as it is. They use PC intimidation and a propaganda campaign to accomplish this goal. They're not benevolent to heterosexuals and not as socially valid as heterosexuals and hetero marriage, who perpetuate the species, create families and promotes social harmony in general. Traditional families and marriage have enough pressures breaking it down with feminism, family law, etc, gays are one more. I see gays, lesbians and "transgenders" as mixed up, abnormal or defective individuals. To tolerate them is one thing, to make them mainstream is another. That's how I see it.
