A Fuzzy Thread

[bomelia]

The gaining of extra political power worries me the most. Granting gay people the institution of marriage opens new doors. I have serious reservations about gay couples raising adopted children or children that they use surrogates for. Why? First, its not normal! Its not biological, it is not natural. Anybody with kids (hetero parents) will tell you that there are distcinct, discernable charactertsitics in children that atttach to dads & moms. They get something different out of each parent. They need that. Yes, in one parent households, that is missing. And in some of those cases, the kids grow up with scars.

Second, these kids get a skewed view on normal life. And, the gay parents benefit politically by training these kids that the gay lifestyle is normal and accepted. This is another way that gays will get political power not commensurate with their population fraction.

If you grant gays "marriage" then you must allow them to adopt. Then what after that? The civil union, imperfect as it is the best answer. Gay couples must not be allowed to compete with hetero couples for adoption of children.

Finally, I know it is a stretch, but what about what today is considered deviant behavior? Adult/child sex. Human/animal sex? Etc? Each time we let go of one of the strings that ties us to the Truth, the remaining strings get put under greater tension. Eventially, they get cut too. There is truth in this world. But accepting non-truth as truth has its consequences. I really despise when folks try to tie the gay issue to the racial issue. They are not even close.
