It's funny, an awful lot of people who are so vehemently against gay marriage seem to have the oddball notion that if gay people are allowed to marry people of the same gender, then everyone will do it! Men will mostly marry men, women will mostly marry women, hardly anyone will have children and civilization will crumble!
I'm going to go out on a limb here… I'm pretty sure that the straight people will still be attracted to and marry people of the opposite sex. A wild notion, I know... Since the gay population tends to be a fairly small percentage of the total population (10%?), I somehow doubt that being legally able to do what they've been doing anyway (living together, raising kids, etc.) will have much impact on the population levels. If a law allowing gay marriage passed in this country tomorrow, I rather doubt that droves of straight people would run out and marry folks of the same sex just because they can. I can't help wondering about people that seem to think so… |

What would a thoughtful person suppose might be the explanation for this curious circumstance? That yguy is not confused and afraid, and everyone else is? I think not. |

I've edited your post of earlier today, as well as the various quotes of it. Stop being a jerk (or at least stop displaying "jerk" behavior). Reread the MF&P forum rules, since it seems that you've forgotten them since you read them a few days ago. Michael MF&P Moderator (Maximus) |
