You're right - you had some pretty personal attacks against gays. I give back as good as I get.
I knew that you are gay.
It's okay to come out of the closet.
But that is because you are obviously in the closet and need to come out.
It's okay.

The divorce rate among the gays that do get married is astro-freaking-nomical.
And Gary Gates, Williams Distinguished Scholar at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, a think tank that works to advance sexual orientation law, says that same-sex couples divorce at rates comparable to those of different-sex couples. Data from Massachusetts, the state with the longest track record on gay marriage, seems to support this. The numbers show that divorce rates in that state have not changed since same-sex unions became legal in 2004. Though it fluctuated in the intervening years, the rate of 2.2 divorces per 1,000 people in 2004 was the same in 2009
The long-cited figure for divorces between straight couples is around 50 percent; according to figures from the United Kingdom, however, only about one percent of marriages between same-sex couples have so far ended in divorce.
But despite stereotypes of gay relationships as short-lived, the divorce rate among Danish homosexuals is only 17 percent, compared to 46 percent for heterosexuals. Can gay Danes teach us something about lasting marital bliss?

What's hilarious about this, is that you think you are insulting me.

I have the perfect answer to all of this. Really !
How about we evacuate the entire state of California. Invite
and give incentives for LGBT people to come occupy the state
as it was left by everyone else not LGBT. Get them all nice and cozy and
settled in. Make them feel right at home.
Then by some act of GOD, a 10.0 Magnitude Quake along the San Andreas
fault line goes viral and watch the whole state slip off into the ocean. End of story.
End of all controversy. End of discussion about LGBT people. There won't be anyone left
to defend or take up the discussion after that. They get what they want, We get what we want.
and GOD gets to clean up the mess in His own way ! LoL

This whole thing is a joke.... "losing rights".
We don't lose rights.
They are endowed by our creator.
What we lose are privileges.
We don't have civil rights. We have civil privileges.
That is why gay people can't get married.
Because it is a privilege.

As long as you believe that too people of the same gender should be able to do things EXACTLY the same way and have the same "Emotional Meaning" as what goes on between woman and man...you will be resisted because it will not and CAN NEVER BE THE SAME, therefore NOT EQUAL IT IS DIFFERENT .. GET IT ??.

It CANNOT be more different, and why these people are trying to convince themselves and others that they are the same is beyond bizarre.
Find another solution because this one is just not gonna EVER happen.

This member cracks me up with her nonsense.
Please do share more of your "views".
The United States of America is not just a democracy – it is a constitutional democracy. What that means is that our government is designed to express not only the will of the majority (democracy), but also to simultaneously protect the unalienable rights of minorities and the powerless. That is an extremely important point because it is the constitutional protections of minorities and the powerless that add civility, humanity, and decency to what could otherwise be a barbaric nation – democratic or not. www.democraticunderground.com...

New Theory: Sexual Orientation Determined by Brain Hemisphere Dominance
BY Sunnivie Brydum - August 06 2012
A Northern California author says he's discovered the missing link that explains the biological source of sexual orientation. While doing research for his recent book, The Whole-Brain Path to Peace, James Olson stumbled upon what he says is the direct correlation between hemispheric dominance in the brain and whether a person is gay or straight.
Olson’s theory portends that both heterosexual men and lesbians are generally dominated by the left hemisphere of the brain, which is committed to sequential, thought-oriented processes. And heterosexual women and gay men are much more likely to be dominated by the right hemisphere of the brain, which regulates feeling and cultural awareness.

FYI, marriage is defined in the BIBLE. Long BEFORE any modern legal system. Before the Magna Carta. Before the US Constitution. You want "equality"? Look at the Biblical definition and tell me what it says.
Ya know what - - - I don't give an "F" about bible crap anymore - - I'm sick of it being an excuse to hate and deny a minority group a normal life.
However - - - marriage existed long before the bible.

Being online has had other benefits too: she met her wife online in a chat room. Seven and a half months later, they were married (unfortunately not legally) in Denver, Colorado. Then, on October 30, 2003, they were LEGALLY married in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She and her wife live in New Alexandria, PA, and share in the duties of raising her two children from a previous marriage. Self-employed as a drafter, she uses her spare time to manage several other projects, including an online newsletter, advisor in an online forum dealing with issues of non-heterosexuality, abuse, and spirituality, and of course, her writing.
