[Watch how this one's initial facade crumbles away, as he goes from "gay people are people" to "supporting gay marriage is CELEBRATING DEATH!!!"]


I feel that children have the right to be raised by both a male and a female parent, who are married, insofar as is possible. I've heard that adoption agencies have pulled out of states where gay marriage is legal because they were being forced to place kids with gay parents, and I don't think it's right to force them to do that. But if we accept that they're "married," then what leg do the agencies have to stand on?

I think that gay people are people, but I don't feel that a homosexual relationship is the same thing as marriage, and I don't feel that it deserves the same societal and legal sanction. The family is not just another relationship between two consenting adults. It's the foundation of a healthy society. All that the argument about "Marriage is no longer sacred" does is point out how far we've fallen. It's not pointing out my hypocrisy, because I'm not in favor of those things either. I feel that insofar as the traditional family is no longer the most fundamental unit of civilization, we have become weak and vulnerable. And I don't think that is a good thing.

This document (LINK) explains how I feel about the family. It's a religious document, but I don't feel that this is about imposing religious views on other people. I feel that it is about preventing a grievous error, and keeping our civilization from celebrating as good an act that is a crime against nature. I've heard of how toxic chemicals can make male seagulls no longer interested in mating with females, and that's how I view this in humans: as a thing that is not just morally wrong because of the people it hurts, but is also unnatural, and akin to sterility. And if we publicly embrace and value that -- which is separate from valuing the people themselves -- then it's like celebrating death.
