Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Long explanation short is - if homosexuals are not biologically compelled to act on their urges, but rather make them based on choice - then the discussion is over. The "born that way" argument is dead, and does not apply. And if THAT is true - then the debate about marriage is equally already settled. Marriage is a sexual union that God has established, and that society has recognized as having certain benefits. Homosexual unions by their design don't measure up - because they are missing the key ingredients.

What was shocking about Sklar's comments is that in her eagerness to appear uber-tolerant to the very sexual chic movement of the day (bisexual twenty somethings) she passes condemnation on her own "belief system."

With sexual relationships being "more fluid" with no "boundaries that are hard set", girls with more "flexible views" towards their sex partners, gender choices not being on a "fixed path", and woman who are leaving their lesbian amores for the security of a traditional marriage - Sklar is arguing choice, not biology.

In doing so she is arguing for the foundational view that we humans choose to control who we engage in sexual acts with. And in arguing that she ends the debate on the radical agenda she has been working towards for the last three decades.

The jig is up.

Game, set, match.

You can put it on the board...yes! 

Even though she didn't intend to it’s refreshing to see a radical homosexual activist like Roberta Sklar finally admit the truth.

I'm confident however, it will not become a habit.

Gay Marriage
In the article, Kevin stated, "...if homosexuals are not biologically compelled to act on their urges, but rather make them based on choice - then the discussion is over. The "born that way" argument is dead, and does not apply...the debate about marriage is equally already settled. Marriage is a sexual union that God has established, and that society has recognized as having certain benefits. Homosexual unions by their design don't measure up - because they are missing the key ingredients."

I agree that people have freedom of choice in life, and exercise that freedom, especially when it comes to who to sleep with. However, people have preferences also. Some people like salt, others hate it. The people who hate it are not likely to choose it, just as the people who like it are more likely to choose it. Sexuality is like that: if someone likes to sleep with members of the same sex, but dislikes to sleep with members of the opposite sex, guess which sex that person will more likely choose to sleep with?

This does not mean then that the debate about marriage is over. Regardless of whether God has established marriage or not, the truth of the matter is that marriage has not always meant what it means today. Yes, marriage is an arrangement between opposite-sex parties. Historically, however, marriage was more about property, wealth, and alliances between families as opposed to romantic love, which it is today. Thus, the institution of marriage has changed to suit the civilization.

That being said, it is not an effective argument to say that simply because our sexuality is a choice means that homosexuals cannot get married. Actually, the issue is over human freedom and liberty.

Perhaps same-sex marriage is not the "same" as opposite-sex marriage. Perhaps it doesn't "measure up". Does that mean, however, that human freedom being what it is, we as a society do not have the freedom to choose?

Well done, M&M!
"Happened on this site by accident. I have never seen such pathetic drivel."

I happened on this site by accident some time ago too. I, too, have never seen such drivel.

I have tried to educate them, but many take as facts those are simply not true. (Choice, for just one example.)

They are impervious to data. Occasionally, they see the need for it, and they run off to biased xian organizations, and even dis the CDC!

They are also impervious to reason, some even quoting a 1900-year-old fairy tale as truth!

It is quite shocking. Where I live, these people don't exist. I thought they had died off. At least now I understand just what the "Xian Right" is all about.

Ugh. I need a shower.
