So Happy For Mad And Harlan

[CaliforniaCheez]

Homosexuals have the right to marry.
If they have no interest in the opposite sex there is no deprivation of that right.

If one looks at California Law until 2000 most everyone assumed what the word meant. The 2000 election had a ballot measure that defined marriage between a man and a woman.

California has all the domestic partnership laws that don't deprive anyone of inheritence, medical visitation, etc.

Now there will be a Constitutional Amendment to be voted on. It will add to the turnout will be increased for those in favor of the Constitutional Amendment.

Bigotry doesn't change in a few years. It takes a couple generations.

exactly - thank god that posters on packerrats in 2060 won't have to deal with narrow minded bullshit

I have an absolute soul felt problem with Gay men being able to adopt children. I can't stop Lesbians from artificial insemination, though, I wish i could.

I have a real problem with homophobic couples raising kids. And yes, I know how loving they are. And how so many "normal" marriages are fucked.

I still cannot tolerate same sex couples raising our future.

i have the same problem Tarlam.

Actually I think we are getting close to gay acceptance, maybe half a generation away. People over 40, and especially people over 50, were raised in an entirely different environment. I have a friend who is a highschool teacher, and she claims that generation is bored by the gay issue, they GENUINELY don't care if somebody is gay, as opposed to certain old farts who claim to tolerate gays but actually want to stigmatize and punish their behavior.

Just a question, but do they have the right to marry whomever they happen to love? Do you for that matter?

Homosexuality is a trait people are born with. What you are saying makes no more sense than claiming in 1960 that blacks should achieve equality by getting melanoma treatments.

I know you and Tex believe that attraction to same sex is simply a (wrong) choice. (Why anybody would make such a burdensome choice defies logic.) Your ideas reflect complete ingnorance and bigotry. If you knew some gay people well, or were open to hearing scientific research, there's a chance you might change your views. Its more likely that death will come before such an attitude change with some of your generation.

Do you support this provision? The WI Constitutional Amendment prohibits any accomodation for gays. Did you vote for it?

I agree it is best to have both a male and a female as parents. But same sex couples can do a good job raising kids. The most important thing is the commitment of the parents.

[MJZiggy]

I've heard that same sex couples are more likely to be willing to take the kids that have been lost in the system. In that instance, I'd like to think that a loving, permanent home is better than never knowing where you'll land next.

I dont care if Harlan wants to blow college boys for food but I just hate how queers always want to make a big display of their faggotness. They go directly out of their way to kiss and have their hands all over each other in public. You dont see straight couples announcing "oh yeah, we fuck each other" do you??

They want to be treated equal they should act equal. I think it is inappropriate for a hetero couple to overly display affection in public too so dont think this is only about pole-smokers. Funny thing is that lesbians couples are actually usually very dignified and it is clear they carry themselves in a family type of way. It is always the gay males that are the problem. It is not right for little kids to have to see that shit and be confused.

I say give them their fucking rights but when they start crossing the line in public, treat them "equal" and cite their ass for being naked or exposing there sick selves or whatever sick shit they are doing.

And as for kids, fuck no do they deserve the right to adopt.

That's funny, I NEVER see either gay or straight couples pawing each other. I think WI must be more reserved than CA. Either that or I got to get out more. OR maybe things are just a little sloppy down in your barrio.

Mad may have a point:

It is because in WI they are scared of whack jobs like Red or Lil Whiskey mowing them down with a .357. Or maybe they just fear a big ole bullqueer such as yourselves.

So you are saying give them their marriage rights except for adoption?

Were you around when Ellas Deli was on State Street and this went on ? After they were asked to stop and then leave..............a big protest went on

I say as long as the kids they're adopting aren't Packer fans, why not?
