Marriage under heterosexual people is so important that it Διός, Wed Aug 8 7:01pmhas a 50% failure rate. And what is it to the heterosexuals if Gay’s wanted to marry too?

What do you actuly know about gay people Christopher Blackwell , Wed Aug 8 8:20pmMondo Fuego™ You keep making claims based on your assumptions about Gay people, designed to justify your dislike of them.- Rich people change the rules according to their whims Clawson, Mon Aug 6 7:32pm

A flaw in definitions ... Mondo Fuego™ , Tue Aug 7 3:23pm... a "regular" queer (i.e., a homosexual not termed a pedophile) can also be a psychopath, and the death of their "bathhouse" victim would not bother them in the least. Also, I am quite certain that ... more
Gee,the same as a straight person. Christopher Blackwell , Thu Aug 9 8:16pmMondo Fuego™, That is the flaw in your argument. It is not so much a definition as it is a description Clawson, Tue Aug 7 7:09pmA "description" tells it "like it is". There are actual changes in the brain that can be picked up with an MRI. Marriage... Amadeus, Mon Aug 6 12:34pm...is not a universally heterosexual institution. It isn't a universally monogamous institution.

Two men ... Mondo Fuego™ , Mon Aug 6 10:03pm... do not constitute a "family unit". Next!
But they can create children Christopher Blackwell , Thu Aug 9 8:13pmMondo Fuego™, Which is given as one excuse for having family. They just need a surgate mother.

Of course it is greenman, Wed Aug 8 4:59pmPseudo-religious idiots still snapping towels in the boy's locker room. Not like you can expect understanding of complex or varied human relationships from that kind. The father and the children ... Mondo Fuego™ , Tue Aug 7 2:58pm... are a "family unit" ... the brother is a "brother" and "uncle" who just happens to live with them. Now you know. :)
Geeand if the father happens to be Gay Christopher Blackwell , Thu Aug 9 8:37pmMondo Fuego™, Hmm, then it gets interesting. There are a fair number of Gay fathers and Gays that are deciding to become fathers.

IMO your perspective that ONLY the traditional nuclear famly, and NOTHING beyond it, can possibly consistute a "family unit" is silly.
Your false implication that ... Mondo Fuego™ , Thu Aug 9 8:09pm... that I would charge them criminally is even sillier. Maybe yo should take some time off, huh? I think there are several factors involved... Sprout, Mon Aug 6 12:18pmIMO one is a nostalgic attachment to the obsolete IDEA that somehow a heterosexual marriage IS for life... The fact that well over 50% of such marriges do NOT last that long is ignored. But the... more
