Gay Marriage Ruling

[zk]

“liberals are intolerantly tolerant

and I got nothing better to do today.”

Your sparkling logic and infallible reasoning have left me with no reply.

Right after graduate school I was hired by an employee assistance program (EAP) provider in Chicago. I was assigned to an area that had a high population of gay adults, therefore I had the opportunity to provide gay couples counseling services early in my career. With that experience I saw how people in same sex relationships were just as committed and worked just as hard to maintain a healthy, loving relationship as hetero couples. These people deserve the legal rights that marriage allows just as much as “traditional” couples. I can see that some individuals may have difficulty with the term “marriage” due to Judeo/Christian beliefs; perhaps we can come up with a middle ground “legal union” to provide protection to commited gay couples while repecting religious beliefs of others.

Marion,
Lets say that for the sake of argument that being gay is a “problem”. Are people with equally severe “problems” not to be allowed to participate in marriage? Your husband and you had the correct genitalia but you couldn’t do “marriage” and “Family” justice by many standards, divorce either. It was probably a discernible eventuality to many people. Should you have been stopped from sullying up the image of “marriage” for my children? I only want my children to see people who live happily ever after get married. They are in fact confused by single parenthood, because it is not what they are used to. Of course we explain to them that there are different ways to conduct family relationships.

Above all I want might children to be prepared for reality and homosexuality is not going away. We can not be sure which child will experience a degree of sexuality confusion or outright homosexuality, we might be able to affect how they go through it. I think you are getting negative feedback because people view your ideals as more dangerous than sexuality. Many people know youngsters who have suffered or even committed suicide over sexuality issues or been beaten for it, because of intolerance and ignorance.

(marion)”I don’t want my sons thinking gay marriage or behavior is normal, and they don’t. It’s how I have raised them and it’s in line with our religious beliefs.”

And this is how ignorance is perpetuated.

When you say, “in line with our religious beliefs,” what exactly are you talking about? Sure, it’s written in the bible. Do you agree with everything in the bible? If not, why not?
