oI am not against legal gay unions and affording gay couples all of the same benfits and protections afforded by the law to married couples. In fact, I believe the Constitution guarantees it. But, here is where the gay people make a wrong turn in "Advocating" for their rights. First, they demand the right to marry. Marriage is an instution that has stood the test of time for thousands of years and is between a man and a woman and should remain such.

This has very little to do with making the world a 'fairer' place for gays, just the usual hard left stalking horse agenda for marxist style cultural subversion, as usual the clueless progressive liberals have been roped in to pursue the agenda. They are such clueless dupes that the left in the same breath then puts them up to championing the causes of ultraconservative, ultra fundamentalist, gay hanging, women stoning, religious biggotts aka muslims.

I do have a question regarding homosexuals and I'm interested in your viewpoint.
If homosexuals discovered that their sexual preference was because of certain chemical contaminents in the environment,

If homosexuals knew that governments and government run programs were contaminating the environment with chemicals that they knew were causing babies to be born homosexual, do you think there would be anger in the community?

That's OK if you're not familiar with the circumstances, . . .

Well, you can remain on your high horse, but I'm simply trying to inform you of what I've learned.

I find your point of argument silly.
There are many already in history that were homosexual (an omitted fact - not a distortion).
There are probably more people that should be included in history to make it more accurate. Histories that have been omitted from history books.
Native American code talkers.
Negro Calvary
WWII All-Black Air Squadron
George Washington Carver
Susan B. Anthony
Amelia Jenks Bloomer
Belle Boyd.
edit on 5-1-2012 by Annee because: (no reason given)
We used to criticize other countries for doing this sort of thing -- Japan for downplaying the Rape of Nanking, Turkey for denying the Armenian genocide, textbooks in the Arab world for their portrayal of Israel -- yet here we are, doing it in the U.S.
We are failing on the rock-bottom basics. California students' ability to read is ranked 49th in the country by the U.S. Department of Education. Our kids' ability to do math is ranked 47th and we are second to worst in science. Compared globally, the situation darkens further. Of the top 35 nations, the United States is ranked 29th in science and 35th in math. Your neighborhood school might be good by California standards, but that is a very low bar indeed. Our education crisis is a human tragedy and a looming economic disaster.
As I said - - I've been following homosexuality for 20 years.
I am familiar with probably more conspiracies then you are.

Yeah, you're right. No high horse here.
Sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.
Have a wonderful night.

So if you can give me very good examples of history NOT being taught,why should HOMOSEXUALITY be at the forefront? Because like minded individuals,as yourself want it there? PRIORITY NUMBER 1?
Women were property - they had no rights. They were sold/bartered - - used to strengthen political alliances etc. Legal Marriage is a government contract (no god or sanctity of marriage involved). The legal contract is to protect the rights/property of individuals joining together as a single unit/family. It affords certain privileges and tax breaks not afforded by any other means.
