I am not quite ready to say that all people with alternative lifestyles act like 3 year olds. I know many people with lifestyles very different from my own who act like mature adults. I also know some who act like complete jerks and flaunt their lifestyle in everyone’s face.

My tolerance level includes alternative lifestyles and stops at immature behavior.

For the record, straight, female, married once with children and grandchildren here.

Dolph, your prefatory statement is the answer to your question.

Attention-seeking behaviors only tend to alienate others, regardless of the issue involved. You not only hurt your cause but you hurt other people who might want to maturely take their life down a path that the majority does not take….in private.

My problem with your argument is who gets to decide what is perverse amongst consenting adults? What if I think something is perverse and you don’t? Who determines who is right and who is wrong?

I just do not want the government making those kinds of decisions for me. We all are too different.

According to him/her:

1. Perverse sexual behavior is akin to wearing eye glasses and sweating (polyester IS a crime against nature);

2. Being tall is a behavior (were it that it were so!);

3. The slippery slope that, of course, is a legitimate argument against any action by the Bush Administration is ab initio invalid when applied to efforts to obtain state sanction for perverse sexual behavior;

4. Skin color is a behavior (after all, Michael Jackson has proven that in America, anything is possible, and a poor black child can grow up to be a rich white man);

5. Examples of bad marriages justifying re-defining it to be something that it never was;

10. All changes to the “foundation of society” and “new social norms” are positive. After all, look at all the good resulting from casual, anonymous sex, lowering the age of sexual consent, rampant drug use, smoking, etc.

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans. .

Well, sorry, rabbit people, but none of those things happened - nor will they. There were no apologies, no retractions.

Time honored, sleazy left winged tactics. When you don’t have a reasonable, fact based opposition - smear, smear, smear.

Ms. Rishell would never have received the Republican nomination!

Absolutely not. A person’s sexuality is a private matter.

Like I said, just curious to see opinions.

It was a wake up call. That’s why she is lying about her position on cracking down on illegal’s
