Talk about unsupported drivel! If you can find a pet that can say "I do," then I'll stand up for your right to marry it. Until then, what is it you don't understand about the term "consenting adult"?

Greg, they're gay, not sterile. Elton John has children, Ricky Martin has children, Oscar Wilde had children. Of the 2 million children being raised by gays, many are their own biological children, and many of the the adoptees are the difficult-to-place kids that straight couples didn't want. They're raising the crack babies, the AIDS-infected babies and others nobody wanted, and those I have met are doing a wonderful job with them.

you're simply repeating misinformation that some vehemently anti-gay organizations have spread to try discredit the whole gay community. During gay-marriage campaigns, all the old lies get repeated again and again. Drug use in the gay community IS slightly higher than among straight people, but it has nothing to do with being gay. Addictions among gay people are the legacy of a negative social environment that almost nobody could survive without at least some psychological damage. Drugs are coping mechanisms, and nobody needs coping mechanisms more than gays who must put up with your hateful attitudes every single day. “Bug chasing” -- deliberately trying to become HIV-positive by having unprotected sex -- has been termed a “growing phenomenon” by the Traditional Values Coalition and other conservative groups that like to characterize gays as deranged perverts. But in fact it is has virtually disappeared now that AIDS is not a death sentence. Most rumors about bug chasers and “bug parties” are just that -- rumors. The bug chasers and “gift givers” (the infected partners) represented a very small percentage of gay men, even at the height of the epidemic. And your theory that AIDS was a "badge of honor" is BS. Psychologists theorized that the desire to become infected was an anxiety disorder in which a person saw it as inevitable and wanted to just “get it over with” to relieve his fear.

Funny, but I never have seen the use of the term "breeder" as a smear or something derogatory. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of hatred that comes with terms like "que*r" and "fa66ot."

If "tradition" were a valid argument ("it's right because it's the way it's always been"), women would not vote, races would still be segregated and gays would be put in jail. As for bigotry... well, we have to judge people by what they say and do, and there at least three pages of bigotry in this forum.

Anderson, your lame arguments are getting tiresome. We've heard all your BS before, and the only conclusion we can come to is that Toobin is correct -- that it really DOES come down to just two reasons that people oppose same-sex marriage Tradition and bigotry.

I have asked you at least three times to name even ONE name of a gay activist who has said the goal is to wreck or destroy marriage. You hurt your credibility by throwing out stuff you have simply made up in your own head. If anyone wanted to destroy marriage, why would they fight so hard to become a part of it?

You don't know that any more than I do, because no U.S. state has had gay marriage long enough to have any meaningful statistics. The annual marriage rate for straight people is 6 to 7 people per 1,000 population, less than 1 percent. So even for straight people it takes a few years to reach 2 percent. In the Netherlands, which has the longest history of gay marriage, 2 percent of ALL marriages are same-sex couples. When you say they have the same rights, you mean the right to marry someone they are not attracted to and can't relate to in a romantic way? Is that what you think is a viable marriage? Is it fair for a woman to find out she has a gay husband because Anderson recommended that he entered into a sham marriage?

Gays do not attack Christianity without good. reason. It's just that they're starting to fight back against what Rev. Mel White calls "spiritual violence." Spiritual violence comes from pulpits all over America. When Billy Graham calls for gays to be castrated,,, when Pat Robertson says Nazi goals and homosexuals "seem to go together" and blames gays for every natural disaster...when Jerry Falwell says gays are "brute beasts" and there will be "a celebration in heaven" when they are "utterly annihilated"...when at least half the Christian population thinks gays are an "abomination"...maybe you could get a clue why some Christian denominations incur the wrath of gay people. But it's not just Christians. Some Jewish sects and most Muslims are worse. So don't take it personally. Don't think gays are out to get Christians. They oppose everyone who has tried to make their lives miserable for as long as any of us can remember.

My parents told ME to avoid bigots and hypocrites. It's getting harder because there are so many of them.
