if you want to make a case against homosexuals adopting, you should try to cite a source that isnt likely to be considered biased as hell. lol.

The truth is nobody really cares about this issue unless they are gay or bleeding hearts. There are some bigger issues on the table. I don't have a problem with gays having civil unions, but it's not a real issue for anyone but gays.

By allowing something not previously legal, the US would be supporting the idea or the act.
Is this a business site? Whats all the talk of endorsement?

I don't agree with them either, which is the reason they need more rights. It might sound comical, but gay-hate crimes are a reality. The more 'special rights' (within reason) of minorities, the more power the minority holds in court, which is rightly so and equalizes the generally biased jury. Once the ammunition of the issue's popularity is gone (by granting them more rights), then we don't hear about it every time we turn on the television or open the paper.

Didn't Da Vinci have himself a feminine side? He was somewhat erudite, you might agree, and a few of his 'pupils' became very prominent artists, who weren't psychologically impaired.

Default Gays Getting Married

I am ok with Gays getting married so long as they have the same tax implications of non gay couples.

"The truth is nobody really cares about this issue unless they are gay or bleeding hearts. There are some bigger issues on the table. I don't have a problem with gays having civil unions, but it's not a real issue for anyone but gays."

denying one group their civil rights is a slippery slope.

Agreed, I'm just passing the time expressing my opinion.

Those who deny people their civil rights should be pushed off a cliff.

Default what?

We really need to even out the system, if as a nation we are even considering taking away the rights of a citizen because we object to their lifestyle, We need to reevaluate our values immediately.

Most people don't have a problem with gays, like myself. I just don't think you should be able to get married. MARRIED is a man and a woman
