The increasing acceptance of homosexuality is destroying our values
The basic building block of society is the family. Family has always been between a man and a wife.
-- Posted By Terminator on September 7, 2007Families can't naturally grow without a man and a woman. . Children should get a healthy dose of parental guidance from both a male and female figure to be psychologically balanced.
That is why we as a society do not allow single parents to raise children even if they are the biological parent. I think not.....
I personally believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. .

And whoever said we don't allow single biological parents to raise children?
Often Homosexuality IS a choice. It cannot be said that even the majority of gays are so genetically
-- Posted By eastwind on October 26, 2007You can't tell me that media, life style and exposure play a role in being or NOT being gay. Not every gay person is homosexual by genetics. Often people are influenced into being gay. .
The fact of think that 2 gay man raises a child, make me feel sick. When the child grow he/she will be have a Psychologyical disorder. Its against nature...

Nature:
NOUN:
1. The material world and its phenomena.
2. The forces and processes that produce and control all the phenomena of the material world: the laws of nature.
3. The world of living things and the outdoors: the beauties of nature.
4. A primitive state of existence, untouched and uninfluenced by civilization or artificiality: couldn't tolerate city life anymore and went back to nature.
5. Theology Humankind's natural state as distinguished from the state of grace.
6. A kind or sort: confidences of a personal nature.
7. The essential characteristics and qualities of a person or thing: "She was only strong and sweet and in her nature when she was really deep in trouble" (Gertrude Stein).
8. The fundamental character or disposition of a person; temperament: "Strange natures made a brotherhood of ill" (Percy Bysshe Shelley).
9. The natural or real aspect of a person, place, or thing. See Synonyms at disposition.
10. The processes and functions of the body.
Nature by definition encompasses the material world and ALL that is in it. Guess what? Homosexuality is evident in all species from seagulls to wolves (who mate for life unlike people) so it is not against nature but rather one of nature's facets you rail against.
It is far more likely psychological disorders would arise from forcing the child into a belief system that does not fit them. It is rather a moot point how homosexuals get that way since the truth is WE DON'T KNOW. There are studies showing an elevated level of progesterone ( NOUN:
1. A steroid hormone, C21H30O2, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary and by the placenta, that acts to prepare the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum, to maintain pregnancy, and to promote development of the mammary glands.
2. A drug prepared from natural or synthetic progesterone, used in the prevention of miscarriage, in the treatment of menstrual disorders, and as a constituent of some oral contraceptives.) in the uterus at the time of birth for those who are gay. This is theory not fact. My own answer is, it does not matter why a gay is gay, it matters that all people are not treated equally under the law. Marriage is ruled by law. Government entities issue marriage licenses, not churches.
Personally, cannibalism makes me sick, but I would not use the argument that it is "against nature" because as we know from a study of history, that it exists in nature and has been known to be a way of survival (in such cases as the Donner Party). The main reason folks seem to have a problem with gays is that they have been taught it is wrong. The teaching come mostly from the Christian churches who's doctrines were established to control the populations. It has worked very well, you are controlled, a true believer and will probably never be free or self actualizing.
Yes- its true. The gays are infiltrating society and soon everyone will be homosexual (that's their plan you know). If these gays are allowed to have actual rights like married couples, the sanctity of marriage will soon be destroyed (because right now the over 50% divorce rate proves that marriage is really...er...sacred). These gays choose to be gay (just ignore all that genetic testing that proves otherwise). Let me tell you how much these gays have affected my life (uh...well.. they haven't really affected my life- but my children are going to be totally messed up when I have to explain homosexuality to them- just you wait- they will have to go through therapy after that talk.. yep...).
Nature seeks to perpetuate itself. Homosexuality is about as unnatural as something can get.
Families can't naturally grow without a man and a woman. (Really? Then why do we have so many single mothers?)
. Children should get a healthy dose of parental guidance from both a male and female figure to be psychologically balanced. (Considering that even if the father is present, he spends MUCH LESS time with his kids than their mother does.)
That is why we as a society do not allow single parents to raise children even if they are the biological parent. (So people who get custody after a divorce, or lose their spouse through a death don't get to raise their children?)
I think not".....(Well, at least we agree on something)
I personally believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. (And who are you to make the rules? No, I understand. You've had this ridiculous dogma pounded into you weekly by the church)
Your small-mindedness is incredible.
Food for thought:
God is omnipotent.
God creates everthing.
God never makes a mistake.
God made gay people, too.
Therefore, God did not make a mistake when He made a person gay.
And don't trot out that old maxim of "they choose to be that way". Who would choose to be continually ostracized by society?
I don't know if the acceptance of homosexuality is exactly destroying our values, but I do believe that there is a special and important place for the classic family.
It is common sense that both men and women bring different and important things to the table. The ideal way to bring up a family is with both a male and female influence. By influenece I don't mean friends of the family that come over and interact with the children, but a mother and father.
Saying that an ideal family takes a mother and a father takes nothing away from single mothers. Life happens and people do what they have to do. There are many moms and dads that step up and make sacrifices for thier kids and I say God bless 'em. If anything, though, that only proves that it is ideal for a family to have both a mother and a father.
Homosexuality should be accepted, and it doesn't change values at all
Just come out and admit that you have a shitty argument and that you are a prejudiced, homophobic fascist. Straight people and their insanely high divorce rate are fucking your family structure up. Stop trying to scapegoat the homosexuals.
I would personally rather see children raised by people who will not fill their offsprings minds with bigotry, hate and mis-information like you seem to have gotten.
Psychologically balanced???? That has nothing to do with the gender of the parents what-so-ever, it has to do with being told the truth about life, love and society even when that is not such a pretty truth.
As a social model you can look at, in the Netherlands, there is no mention of gender in their marriage laws. Guess what??? Their society has not been adversely affected in ANY way. The value of "family" has not been diminished in ANY way. Society is far more likely to collapse over letting war criminals such as we currently have in office in this country remain un-stopped and un-punished.
Your personal beliefs are yours and you have a right to them, what you do not have a right to is forcing your beliefs onto a society that begs to differ. The economic reality is that until Gays have the same right to marry as "straight" folks, they are being discriminated against in insurance, property rights, and a variety of other areas that affect daily life.
Sure we can work around many of the barriers you and bigots like you have placed in the path of our protecting our life partner choices, but they cost us, and if you don't have to do it, I should not have to do it either. It is also costing you in the long run. There are many folks who are tired of fighting for the rights they should have in a free country, who are immigrating to places where they feel more accepted and don't have to jump through extra hoops to get what every other citizen gets. These are well educated people who will benefit whatever society they are a part of. They are going to Canada, to the Netherlands, even to France and will not be contributing to the society you claim to want to preserve. By your own lack of acceptance you are part of the downfall of your country.. live with that.
What is socially acceptable now was unheard of back in the day. Homosexuality is no different.
-- Posted By turtlegirl78 on September 7, 2007Those who say that homosexuality is eroding society should also remember that as of the 1960's, it was still illegal to marry outside of your race (Loving v Virginia). . And let's not forget that femme coveture said that women were the property of men. That is also ridiculous in this day and time. So, in fifty years, do you want to look back at this absurd idea of homosexuality and cringe?
Second, to the Poster: Are You saying that homosexuality is absurd. As, "...this absurd idea of homosexuality..."?
I am married and happy. Why would it matter to my marriage what Joe & John do in their bedroom? I just don't get it. If gays marry, they are supporting marriage. If they adopt kids, they are having families!
Homosexuality is not a choice. It is a psychological and biological predisposition.
-- Posted By Swryght on October 23, 2007Homosexuality is not a choice. It is based on psychology and biology. Saying that it is bad for values is like saying that being female, or being red-headed is bad for values. (both of these things have been asserted by Christians before) Links:.
American Psychologyical Association.
American Medical Association.
To be clear, I should say that I am in fact an openly gay male, and I have never for an instant bought the idea that sexuality is biologically hardwired and absolutely determined by innate factors. I do, as I stated, agree that there can be physiological factors of great complexity which could make an individual more likely to choose one sexual preference than another. But sexuality, like all other aspects of personality, is ultimately governed by personal choice, not by genes. To deny this is to refuse ownership of one's sexuality, I feel. It is to say that society must support people's phenotypes (hair color, etc.) rather than their personal choices (sexuality), which, I feel, is missing the point of the argument entirely.
By saying that a child always needs a male and female role model, of the ever popular 'both parents,' you are effectively snubbing your nose at every single parent out there, working their butt off to create a good, loving environment to their kids!. Furthermore, by saying it isn't natural for a child to be born into this type of environment also undermines every person who has adopted or used fertility drugs to have children. Obviously, the cosmos didn't think they should have children either!
When was the last time you saw a child on the news that was abused, molested or killed by one partner or a homosexual couple? .
It's not a choice, it IS....Gay's are a part of EVERY person's environment, every day in every capacity...
Stop fighting it and just LIVE with it....Nobody can, or should change things...
Welcoming homosexuals as part of society rather than brushing them off or hating them is not corrupting our values. Gays are more than the stereotypes and offer lots to society, if only given the chance. .
How do they affect me? How do they affect anyone but themselves?
-- Posted By pluto on February 11, 2008Some say that marrige is something to only be shared between men and women. But if its something so special, then why limit it to certain people?
Some say that a child needs to be raised by a man and a women. Oh please. I've been raised by my mother my whole life, and atleast I don't have a closed mind like my brother. Besides, Even if a child has to be made by a women and man, what does it matter if the kid is raised by two women or two men, atleast they have a home. I've had a couple friends who have moved from foster home to foster home because they couldn't be adoptade by gays, and no one else would adopted them.
Personally I'd think it'd be better if couples stoped making kids and started taking care of the kids who don't have parents.
I've been married for 11 years with three sons and have yet to figure out how homosexuality will adversly effect the fabric of my family.
Oh wait, God's miffed. Even with a moderate amount of religion, isn't God supposed to be the judge? It surely isn't supposed to be me.
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
