No that was not the insinuation. I did not use the word 'catholic' in my post, because more than one sect or denomination, has a history of anti- gay practices and views. Almost all have it. The 'insinuation' is that a church, mosque, or synagogue may discriminate in any way it likes against anyone it likes ,regardless of civil rights laws. It may segregate black parishioners from whites, refuse to ordain women and refuse sacraments to gays or lesbians. It certainly can refuse to 'honor' a gay marriage in church matters or even let them in the door.
I believe you have every right to raise your children the way you seem fit but to do so with other people's children is just wrong. It is not wholly your fault, it is the fault of the parents who pass off the raising of their children to others instead of doing the hard work themselves.
So why do parents pass their kids off to public educators? In most circumstances all I do is reinforce what the parents teach themselves. Charles Manson was a "free range child".. What in the heck is "hard work" if you don't train a child in the way he should go? Are you afraid to instill values in your children? Sounds like you are pretty unsure of your own.
Dearest sweetie pie If someone refuses to serve gaypeople your argument doesn't change. If they refuse to serve gay people it is eating into their profit, isn't it? It's called turning away business Your question about polygamy is nothing but a Strawman. You're creating a scenario that isn't realistic. When there are millions of people who feel unfairly treated because they can't have more than one wife, then we will discuss it. It is not a realistic situation so it's a waste of time.
I'm one of those educators children are passed off to. I don't reinforce what some parents teach ...especially if it's hateful, or hurtful. [
Hey now! There are polys out there that want additional husbands. Of all people, you should know better than to play to the stereotypes.
No, there are not millions of women or men who want polygamy. There are people who want to marry their sisters...should we allow it for the few? What stereotype are you talking about? Red herrings and straw men are a waste of time. If you want polygamy then I suggest you organize the same way gay people did and fight to make it legal.
I did support it (as something that was simply none of my business), but not so much anymore. I never ever had anything against natural gays. But I do believe that it has opened the door to all of this other weirdness. After tolerance for gays was forced on us, now we're expected to be tolerant of transexuals, transvestites, transgender and trans-anything else they can come up with. I am tired of it and feels it's time to say no more.
Ok first, it was intended as tounge in cheek. However the stereotype I am referring to is that polys are men who want more than one wife. Polys are a lot more rounded than that. We have those who want or have multiple husbands, or where there is both multiple husbands and multiple wives in the unit. Naturally I am not referring to spouses in the legal sense. But it does get tiresome to always have poly equated to men wanting more wives. Probably as tiresome as trans being equated to perverts in the restrooms
What could be worse than being tolerant of others? Gasp! Why don't we worry about heterosexual men who rape and molest women and children in alarming numbers. ..or as our president says, "grabs *******"
The perverts in the rest room? Straight men aren't allowed in. If you feel so strongly about poly...do something, take action.
No I don't know what you mean....assuming you were responding to me since you didn't quote a post. I don't see where anything is being forced upon you, so I would like to know what it is i am missing.
Actually I did. While I am not currently fighting for legal recognition (way too much to fix before we can go there unlike SSM) I can fight against the stereotypes.
I instilled values in all my children, they work hard and support their families so I think I did good. I am proud of my children for they way they turned out and glad they didn't follow in my footsteps.
I see no reason to not give them legal recognition. They have loving relationships with children just like straight people do, why not give them the same recognition?
