"Vox Humana" wrote in message ... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "Vox Humana" wrote in message ... "Wil" wrote in message ... Homosexuals are not married. They are partners of a different kind, like room mates, or other kind of sex partner but can not legally enter into the marriage contract. They have rights as individual but not as a couple who is in a marriage contract between a man and a woman. It has to do with a legal contract. The contract says between a man and a woman. I don't think that is being questioned. The issue is that same-sex couples SHOULD have the right to enter into the same contract. It's simply a legal matter. If churches don't want to "marry" same-sex couples, that's their business. Remember, at one time marriage was only open to two white people of opposite genders. People in mixed race marriages were criminals in many states. People saw that as a partnership of a different kind. Things change. It's appalling that on the spectrum of things which truly threaten this country, some people think someone else's sexuality is more important than the fact that most shipping containers entering our ports could be filled with nuclear weapons and we'd be none the wiser. But, I guess they're right. I had a gay neighbor. He forgot to mow his lawn once before he left on vacation. Years later, the children in the neighborhood are still in therapy, some unable to speak or function in school. Some of our neighbors are going to be in therapy soon. The fundamentalist Christian family four doors up just sold their house to a lesbian couple. I heard about it from a neighbor who heard about it from someone on another street! The women haven't even moved in yet. God only knows what they say about me. I sort of hope that it pushes some of them over-the-edge and they move. I wonder what they say about the unmarried heterosexual couples of the serially divorced people who live on our street. If they only focused that energy on their kids. Most of them don't have a clue where their pre-school kids are much of the day. You can't leave your garage open while you do yard work or they are in there exploring. Yeah...I've seen those kids. Last week, our electric company was digging up front lawns for some reason in my ex wife's neighborhood. It was her turn when I stopped to pick up my son. There was an 8 ft deep 10x10 hole in the ground, covered by boards. My son (15) pointed out to me that a board had been moved. In the trench were two 10 yr old kids, "exploring". They'd tied a rope to the fire hydrant and lowered themselves in. We returned them to their homes. One parent wasn't there. The other said "boys will be boys!". Since I don't live there any more, I don't care what they think of me, so I whispered the truth in her ear. If there weren't laws against assault, I think she would've assaulted me. :-) |
