Auntie commented on the article |Awwwww. Poor little hate-monger feels insulted. And even worse, he says I made "assumptions" about him. Boy, your life is really tragic, huh?
Three times in one paragraph you used declensions of the word "abuse", a subject you know absolutely nothing about. If I was as weak as you, I suppose I could consider that an insult. I don't. Ignorance is its own punishment.
You don't know any straight women who entered into a domestic partnership with each other for financial benefit, unless you're deliberately distorting a roommate situation. Nobody chooses to be gay, which is just one of thousands of facts about gays you refuse to learn. Nobody would willingly invite the kind of misery upon themselves that comes from the religion-driven Armies of Hate around the world that are always looking for a target. And absolutely nobody would choose to pretend to be gay, for the same reason and more. This is the routine modus operandi for right-wing ideologues; first, change the subject; second--lie.
You have a problem with reading comprehension, I guess. I never said marriage was "bad". Hell, I'm on my second one already. If I thought it was so "bad" why would I do it again? I suggested that the only fair, humane and intelligent solution to the controversy around marriage is to do what a second-grade teacher would have to do: if you can't all play nice with the toys and share, then we should just take the toys away from you. We ARE, after all, dealing mostly with children here, at least among those who want to keep everything for themselves. Most gay people don't need a marriage license to prove they love each other, but they are acutely aware of the benefits that come with one.
Marriage is a business arrangement between the state and two partners. Why do you think it's called a "contract"? It wasn't originally that way, wasn't intended to be, but once lawyers get involved...
So, you see, marriage is already meaningless. Myself, I would be loath to understand why gays would even want to be married, given the obstacles, pitfalls, and dangers that abound throughout it, but my many gay friends assure me it's as much about the rights they're being denied as anything else.
What if you were told you can't buy a house because you're not married? I'm willing to bet we'd hear some howling from you. In fact, you'd pull out every lie, distortion, and misdirection you could to make your case--that's what right-wingers do. Ever hear of Iraq?
But for some reason--and this is where religion rears its evil head--you are obsessed with anointing yourself as "normal" and everyone different from you as flawed in some manner. Yes, you have it all backwards, as usual, but that's not my point.
The point is you are no better than anyone else. On a simplistic, kindergarten level, that's what religion claims to be about. We are all supposed to be Sky Daddy's children, right? One can only imagine what your type would have done to lepers, or prostitutes, or the handicapped. Wait a minute, didn't Jesus himself get into trouble for helping such people out? And who was it that objected? Why, it was all the T. Cardones of the ancient world. Hmmmmm....
I guess the more things change...

T Cardone:
The only logical solution to your inane postulation is obvious: outlaw marriage. And I have no problem with that, in fact, such would be the approach of a truly enlightened society. Instead, this culture has instituted a system of deliberate discrimination against ALL those who might choose another lifestyle.
You probably don't realize this, but at the exact moment a couple is pronounced "husband and wife", over 1,000 civil and legal benefits accrue to them that are unavailable to the rest of society's inhabitants. There is no more glaring example of discrimination in this culture, and for my money, the only fair, humane, and intelligent solution is to abolish the institution of marriage and everything connected with it. Abolish it, outlaw it, consign it to the oblivion it deserves.
The totally erroneous assumption that having two parents, of different sexes, is somehow the only system that can work is at best a last gasp, desperate attempt to rationalize overt discrimination. Your closed-minded suggestion completely ignores a host of negative, even dangerously destructive possible outcomes, not the least of which is child abuse.
I had two parents, of different sexes, and my life would have been infinitely easier had they both been neutered, due specifically to the horrific abuse I and my siblings suffered for decades at their hands. I would have gladly exchanged them for a single gay hooker, and can easily say that alone would have spared me half a century of pain, humiliation, grief, and disillusionment that your ilk never seems to have a problem with being inflicted on children. It's right there in your own compendium of fairy tales, fables, and fabrications, particularly the old testament.
Your view on this issue exposes you as a barren soul, devoid of compassion, bereft of real-life experience, and self-absorbed to an extent that renders you irrelevant. Par for the course for those who flatter themselves with the term "conservative", when what they actually mean is "authoritarian".
Funny how Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, huh? And yes, it most definitely existed in his day.
Oh yeah, and for the record I have been married twice--for twenty years to my current wife, with whom I have a ten year-old daughter. She has been taught from birth not to think like you people, and routinely garners rave reviews from all who meet her as highly intelligent, deeply compassionate, and as well-adjusted as any child could hope to be.
You simply don't know what you're talking about. Again, par for the course...

Sadly, no amount of information, factual evidence, or just plain, simple, common sense will ever pierce the fog of fear in which ideologues wander the earth.
Religion is the enemy of the human race, warmly loved by politicians and other opportunists as the single most effective tool by which to manipulate, distort, obfuscate, and obliterate the truth wherever it is found.
Death to religion...ALL of it.
