This thread is gay. If you guys can't debate an issue without resorting to ad hominem attacks, just shoo.

In previous posts, you indicate that you are teaching your children homosexuality, and gay marriage is wrong. You also indicate that you vote against gay marriage:



However, in your latest post, you state that you believe homosexuals and heterosexuals should have equal rights:



My question is this: How can you say you are against gay homosexuality and gay marriage and that you vote against it, then go on to say you think homosexuals and heterosexuals should have equal rights.

Unless you are also against heterosexual marriage, there is a clear flaw there in your logic. Do explain.
I thought I made it clear. I do not believe that the government has a right to interfere with ones private life. But I'm torn in that I cannot teach my kids one thing and then do another. If its wrong, if its politicaly incorrect then so be it. These are the same groups that would take away my right to protect my family. If they would pick and choose which rights I can have I would return the favor. Now if they would recognize my basic right to protect myself and my family I would be a much more ammicable person to thier cause.

Where to begin... First of all, there are probably millions of "hetero" homes without fathers and mothers in the US. I guess there is a difference between a mother or fatherless two parent homes? While its hard for gay couples to adopt, it isnt unheard of. At least the child will be in a loving home. Deyes, if something happens to your wife, will you get married right away so your children dont have to be in a motherless home? Why teach your kids hate? Do you turn them against blacks or asians too? And what business is it of yours if two people who love eachother get married? It does no personal harm to you. I hope one of your kids isnt gay, because what you've been saying to them will seriously screw them up. Ever think about that?

Edit: Wait a second... because some groups are anti-gun, youre anti gay? Wow, how mature is that

I think homosexuality is wrong from a genetics/scientific standpoint. No trait/gene that specifically leads to NO sexual reproduction would be selected for, and thus would not survive evolution.

I just see your point of view as simple minded and bigoted, because you've probably never thought out the issue, instead simply regurgitating what your parents/church spoon fed you when you were a youth...hatred and intolerance.

Good luck to your kids.
I'm not a bigot, I hate no one but those that would do harm to me and mine.
So is all religion a fairy tail or just Christianity. Most people on the planet believe in some sort of religion are we all believing in "a fairy tale" or just Christians?
I don't teach my kids to hate anyone, but I think smoking crack is wrong so I teach them its wrong, I think homosexuality is wrong so I teach them its wrong. As much as others would like me to I must teach them my values, because those are the only values I have. Does that not make sense? How is it that I should teach my kids anothers values? I regurgitate nothing. My views are my own, I find it funny that you would belittle them by saying that when you have little to base it on. It would seem that you are guilty of what you are accusing me of. You know nothing about me whatsoever but you've made some huge assumptions.
"regurgitating what your parents/church spoon fed you when you were a youth"
I hope others can see through your message of tolerance as I have and see someone that is as intolerant as the next man.

I've closed this thread as I see no new points being made, but rather a deterioration of the discussion towards personal attack. Sorry if this causes a problem for anyone but you'll get over it.
