NEW YORK - Former New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree -- best known for making a famous catch against his helmet during Super Bowl XLII -- spoke out against gay marriage Wednesday, claiming it is the first step towards "anarchy." In an interview with anti-gay group the National Organization for Marriage, Tyree also said two men or two women were incapable of raising a child, TMZ reported.
The issue of same-sex unions is currently under the spotlight in New York, with the state assembly late Wednesday passing a gay marriage bill that will next go before state senators.
Recent polls have indicated that more than 50 percent of New Yorkers support gay marriage, The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week.

Homosexuality is not hurting anyone...It's not invading anyone's privacy or taking away anyone's rights.

I am annoyed that the issue itself isn't spelled out in the Op, but a celebrity opinion was ... what a better opportunity to defame someone for holding an opposing opinion to your own, then frame them as a bigot in the same succinct wrap-up!
The real issue is as follows, unless you're trolling the waters here for more headway on your "rivalry".
That means that 50 percent *don't* support your cause, and I wonder why you don't wonder why the msn swings the way they do in their interview preferences. Perhaps they would find more positive feedback from their own supporters, but I think the greater point to make is, now you know what side the media moguls support. So why worry? With the whole NWO backing gay causes, and setting their teeth against Christian mores in the process, you should find it rather easy to lose yourself in the upcoming masses of the next pro-gay generations.

Keep plugging that tired line if you want; it sounds fine on the surface, white-washes everything, and was said in a netshell for us to absorb. I wonder how many shades of reality away from the truth that statement actually is.

What are you saying...do you personally feel threated by gay marriage? I know why though and I can guess it goes hand in hand with studies that show homophobic men are more aroused by gay porn. There's a lot of self-hate out there.

I couldn't agree more! Get government out of marriage and the idea of loving relationships. Anarchy in my time? I can hope.
Civilised man has no need to be governed, so where is the rest of the civilised?
the issue for me, since you failed to catch it in the title of the post and my response, is quite simple, Government has no "right" to be in the "business" of love and marriage.
what cause is that pray tell? Personally, marriage ruins a great relationship. I have no "gay" agenda, I don't care what anyone does unless it involves violence. Now if gay marriage were to actually lead to Anarchy, then bring it on!
Why don't you explain to all of us "liberals" how it does hurt someone? I can think of only one way, when your child comes to you and says "Dad, I think I'm gay" your going to beat the straight into him

Yet the Vatican has been the house of all Catholic marriages, is itself a ruling government with international jurisdiction, and has had its hand in marriage since it's inception. If the state is pointed out, there's common law - which isn't going away anytime soon, and Vegas for the rest. Does it really matter that the process is institutionalized by a faction that has some ruling role? Should we simply call it by another term than government through some double-speak? Should we privatize the whole business, or is this just one more silly thing to complain about?
You claim to be against violence and to support anarchy, practically in the same statement - amazing. Now, if you take away all societal law, to be replaced with regional despotism, petty partisanship, city-states, and barbaric rule, do you really think it won't culminate in violence?
As to harms done, how about the typical lack of respect lower-educated/immature gay men seem to have for others spiritual boundaries, their ignorance of others intimacy levels which seems to be a growing over-ride point, and their endless insistence that we are somehow "bigots" or "homo-haters" for showing anger ......
You are more then entitled to your opinion, but we all know the old saying about opinions...... Its to bad that you think Life, Liberty and Property are hyped politically correct opinions.
I admit that I generally despise the hyped politically-correct opinion on quite a number of matters, especially this one. Why object? Because we have a voice to, and it helps knowing that a lousy war of propaganda against anyone who dares speak their mind out.
