We are what we are. As to society "creating" Gays, well, sorry but I don't see it. How does that happen? By allowing them to step out of the closet without persecution? Like Homosexuality didn't exist as long as no one talked about it. I have never met a gay who claimed to have chosen that lifestyle. If anything society and it's anal retentive attitude regarding the idea of heterosexuality has created more on the surface straights than there probably is. In my opinion that's totally screwed and helps degrade our culture because we refuse to face up to some of the human realities. You can't legislate or pray away sexual orientation. All a culture can do is force it underground where it festers, but never goes away.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-50325266646515712182012-10-27T21:03:24.932-04:002012-10-27T21:03:24.932-04:00And many want to honor all 'gays', carry o...And many want to honor all 'gays', carry on...BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-18979212884575348892012-10-27T21:02:23.311-04:002012-10-27T21:02:23.311-04:00BBC - Well now.

Unfortunately it has become more than legalities. It is an issue of emotion. Who owns the "concept" of marriage. The various religions? That's bullshit and even they know they cannot own the "concept". But that does not keep them from trying.<br /><br />BBC - Well now.

I have enjoyed the DownEast accent on the "Bert and I" records since I was stationed at Bangah some 45yrs ago.<br /><br />I agree with Ol'Buzzard, the government needs to get out of the marriage business and come up with something that gives people all the rights and privileges of current marriage and leave the term marriage to churches.<br /><br />It wasn't "the gay" that brought down Greece and Rome, it was their fucked up governments. Kinda like ours is now.<br /><br />IMHO, it seems like Maine has gotten crazier since they started referring to themselves as "Mainers" instead of "Mainiacs". I still have a sticker on my toolbox from the "Mainiacs" Air Guard unit at Bangah.<br /> <br /><br />Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-73172741582641868342012-10-27T07:57:14.582-04:002012-10-27T07:57:14.582-04:00My hope is that if churches keep preaching hate an...My hope is that if churches keep preaching hate and meddling in politics, they'll lose their tax exempt status. Can you imagine how fast we'd wipe out the deficit if the IRS could go after the LDS? Or, on a local level, how much a county or township could collect in property taxes on some of those mega-churches?

That broaches the question of why churches should not be taxed - <br /><br />I think the states should not be involved in 'marriage' but should issue ONLY domestic partnership license - If churches want to hold a service and call it marriage, that's fine, but it should have no legal status.<br /><br />Let's don't mistake the source of the bigotry -it is religion. <br /><br />the Ol'Buzzard Ol'Buzzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075162476463971258noreply@blogger.com
