I use objective knowledge in addition to subjectivity. When I say, the objective scientific biological knowledge of the human body indicates men and women are designed to bond together, but men and men are not,. it's purely objective, based on observable facts. There's no subjectivity there. When I say that GOD designed man this way, that could be argued to be my subjective inclusion in the discussion. Because I cannot "prove god" in the same way that I can "prove biological facts".

until we found out otherwise
You don't know what goes on behind closed doors
I'm not at all suggesting they will do bad things to the child, please don't interpret that
But a baby needs a father figure and a mother figure
You know how many people living in ghettos complain of not having a fatherly role model?
How is a lesbian couple going to teach the kid to play fastball?
How is a lesbian couple going to teach a kid how to shave?
the list goes on and on
How would a father explain girls getting their periods to a little girl? She would feel so uncomfortable
and i'm only scratching the surface here

So how is that different from a single parent, of which there are many also? I have two daughters which I raise on my own with no mother figure. They seem to be working this stuff out on their own, especially the girl stuff, yet I try to help and teach them as much as I can. I admit as they get older some things may be a challenge, the period part and puberty I admit will be especially challenging, but luckily for me, I have family. I have a mother, father, sisters and brothers, etc, who will help me through as they always have.
It is of little doubt that same sex couples also have that family base who support them, and will help out with the little (and big) challenges of growing kids.
As parents, our role is to nurture and teach, and above all else to protect, regardless of whether a child has two dads, two mums, a mum and a dad or a mum or a dad. The combination doesn't change that fact.

Biology hasn't proven that. Some people "speculate" that the chemical conditions in the womb might be the cause of deviant behavior like homosexuality. They even "speculate" there is connection between early chemical environment and criminal behavior. So we can forecast who will become a criminal by studying the environment in the womb. It's all nonsense. It's "statistical" reports on questionable research, not duplicated by other scientists, so doesn't have the standing of "knowledge".

Lets change it up a little....

Exactly. This does nothing to back up your obnoxiousness. If anything it severely undermines your 'certainty'. If that is what it was 'designed for' then why are you being selective on that ideal? You are using a computer and the internet. You have likely flown in a plane. Maybe even taken anti- biotics or other medicine. Your statement shows no 'biological facts' about why it is 'bad' because you cannot do such a thing- it must be accepted that that is because of your religious belief.

Golly, you want to believe so badly that it's ok to violate the design. Yes, god didn't give us wings, but we got around that and made our own metal wings to fly. HE also limited how far our voice could carry in the wind, but we got around that and now shout across the world via the internet. Sure, we're breaking all his design rules. So, why not break the copulation rule too? Go ahead and break the rule, just don't call it a marriage. That's all I say. We don't call the airplane a "bird", because its a new thing. We don't call the internet a "voice", because it's a new thing. So, give the new gay bonding a new name, and stop all the confusion already.
It's not a marriage, it's a "gay union".
It ain't right in the eyes of the Lord, it ain't intended in the biological design, but, hey, it can be done, so why not do it !
Animals next. We can bond with them too. Some people are very fond of animals. They are probably born that way.

no, but unlike you, most the things I accept and reject are opposites.

Ok. I get it. You reject women, because they are opposite. You accept men, because they are the same as you.
I happen to like my opposites. It completes me. I think accepting the differences is a good thing.

I guess your right, I reject woman sexualy because I like men sexually. Deal with it.
And really, if you like opposites, and thing differences are a good thing, than we wouldnt be having this conversation.

That's the thing. Gay men like to think that they are "different". When in fact, they hate anything that is not the "same." And then they blame everyone around them for discriminating against them for being "different". They are one confused bunch.
Right now I AM confused, because that made no sense, sorry. rephrase pleaseZ?edit on 13-10-2011 by spw184 because: (no reason given)edit on 13-10-2011 by spw184 because: (no reason given)

I would say it was a bad thing to do because the animal cannot give informed consent like a person could.
Not simply because society says it's taboo. Like you keep saying, we have free will, therefore the ability to choose who we have sex with- this totally contradicts your comparison.
Wonderful that you believe yourself to be a macro psychologist who can assess significant amounts of people in one swift statement.
You're so good
at it that you can even do it whilst grossly misinformed!
This sums you up. You try to claim reasoning and reality is fueling your beliefs, but vulgar, cheap, ad hominem attacks like this unmask you.
