In response to:
"Gay" couples can never have natural children.
Everyone one of those kids has both a mother and a father and deserves to be raised by both mother and father not to be torn from one parent or the other in order to satisfy selfish adults' desires.
Pascal said, “People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.” So-called marriage “equality” is attractive. Who could be against equality?
But what if the word “equality” is being misused? What if that kind of equality will have the unintended consequence of hurting children, individuals and the nation? And what if everyone already has true equality?
True equality does not conflate people and behavior. People are equal but their behaviors are not. When liberals claim that certain sexual behaviors are equal – or that all outcomes...
"It's as natural for them as opposite-sex attraction is for you"
"Nothing went wrong."
Typical false claims. All you're telling me is that you buy the politically-correct conventional wisdom about homosexuality and haven't actually learned anything about it for yourself.
"for somewhere under 10% of the population"
Try about 2% of the population for those who have same-sex attractions. And 0% for those who have it "naturally."
I have no doubt the women you know in "long term" relationships use the expected descriptions. It's part of the facade, and part of the fooling themselves they have to do -- and that you would likely see for yourself if you had the chance to see behind the facade, AND knew what to look for.
Same-sex attractions always involve sexualization of an early, unmet need and/or the rejection of the opposite sex. Neither is healthy. Appearances are just that -- appearances.
So you say it is not but they say it is. I believe them, not you.
"If two women are attracted to each other the same way I am to my wife" -- It's not the same way. Same-sex attraction is not natural the way normal attraction is. It's the result of something having gone wrong.
"What about an 80 Year old man that marries his 75 year old Husband" -- That doesn't exactly represent the typical "gay" relationship. No doubt they've developed a friendship of sorts, but it's tainted; there is not the healthy dynamic of a real marriage.
If you had said, "there's something in a lifelong, committed two-person relationship that is simply not approximated in any other arrangement. Then We would have full agreement.
I am attracted to and love Females. I am a male. There is something in my relationship with my wife that is not approximated in any other relationship.
If two women are attracted to each other the same way I am to my wife, why is their relationship different? What about an 80 Year old man that marries his 75 year old Husband that he is living with for 35 years. They say they love each othe rare you saying they lie?
Currently our child is out of the house and mostly grown. Does that mean we should not be married any longer?
Marriage is simply not about kids.
