Truths sedrum = hardly worth commenting about when he compares gays to druggies etc
His comments about lifestyle and choice are nothing but religion masquerading as medical science. Virtually every med / psych group say that being gay is built in just as for the majority of us being str8 is a built in
His knowledge of med science is about the same as if I put out my shingle as a heart specialist - even though I never took biology 101
As for the % of gays in the population, I've been to iceland (2011 - voted 49 to 0 for marriage equalty and Denmark 2012 voted 85-22 for marriage equality
Spoke to several govt officials there and they all said about 8 to 9% of the population admits to being gay - there is no closet in those countries
TRuth Serum - as usual anything but truth. Just the religious right standard rant.
There is the usual comment by someone about how gays marrying will destroy the institution of marriage
Its too bad that people take religious material at face value. its faith - unprovable, stories from 2000 years ago
There are several conservative reasons for supporting gays marrying
one is to embarrass the str8s who are divorcing left and right and destroying the institution. GAys want to support the4 institution of marriage
second we want everyone to have a stable relationship so the state doesnt have to step in and help if eg they become disabled.
Third why doesnt that commentator save his Ire for all the kids growing up in single parent families. We have 3 now grown kids and it sure wasnt easy,
4ths its tin the constituion - equal rights for all.
As for whats happened in MA which has had gays marrying for now 9 years
1> It has the lowest divorce rate in the country
2. it has the lowest unemployment rate in the country - 3.9%
it all com es from a well educated secular populace eg Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, BU, BC, Leslie U, Radcliff, tufts Univ, UMa etc - just in the Boston area
Meanwhile if you check the web, you'll find that the bible belt right wing south has some of the worst divorce rates and poverty rates in the country.
Let me add
the whole western world is changing Virtually every country except italy and greece in W europe recgonize gay couples with CUs or marriage.
Add canada and 6 countries in Latin America. 3 in E Europe as the yoke of communist hate is being thrown off
Israel, RSA, Nepal, AU, NX, Canada.
And others changing to real marriage from CUs
Expect lots of gnashing teeth. Its exactly the same kind of scene when laws against inter-racial marriage were overturned in 1967
And re the sanctity of marriage - in 1967 the battle cry was to protect the sanctity of the white race.
Same type of bigots now w- just a new victim.
2 of 2 and 1 of 2's list is simply a cloning of material from the Family research council - a hate group per the SPLC Similar material is found on the AFA hate group website.
And if gays do have problems its because of the suffering they endure all through life due to people like him. ALL HE IS DOING IS BLAMING THE VICTIMS OF HIS OWN HATE.
And so often, people like him have gay urges all the way to being directly involved, physically, with other gay people.
Examples - Minister Ted Haggard, secretly videotaped ranting against gays. His male prostitute boy friends outed him twice. Now he supports marriage equality
George Reker, founder of the FRC hate group - he was caught taking a gay male prositute - Jo-Vanni Roman with him on a trip to europe. Jo-vanni admitted his job was to give reker massages on his private parts
Reker connected with Jo=Vanni through the rentboy.com website
the cost per the website for 2 weeks is about $15000. Such a wonderful business demonizing others that these people can pay such bills for their gay sex.
Also- Maggie Gallagher - founder of the hate group (per the southern poverty law center, ) in 2010 her contract was she got 30% of the top of the millions that hate group collected.
Its almost always this way - the worst of the homophobes are secretly gay, hate themselves , and project (psych term) their hatred on others to hide who they are.
Xure wouldn't vote for that Goodman conflicted woman. She doesnt know what she wants. typical politician.
its going to be Chris Giunchigliani for myself and almost all of our extended family.
no ho hums, dont know, this or that type of people
Its really amazing how things have changed, utterly amazing
Thats all I can say.
the old AmeriKKKA is disappearing, being replaced by AmeriCa
