Why gay marriage is good for straight America

My brother in law says that he'd disown his kids if they are gay when they grow up. And he says being gay is against nature. Then he admits that he has never met or known any homosexual in his entire life. Ideas like that just blow my mind. Since when did we stop being a part of nature? If it exists, it is natural. Gays exist, so homosexuality is jsut another part of nature. And since when was it worth hating something that doesn't affect you at all?

i'll bet there where homosexual cave people back in the day, lesbians and gay dudes. neanderthal and cromagnon man both. very gay and very much into rocks, fires, spears, and being gay in the cave.

that very thought just makes my brain hurt....somehow I doubt that happened.

Godfather.

It would be good for gay individuals to marry if they want to,
that basic right would make them very happy and fulfill their dreams.

o.k so tell me again why is gay marriage good for straight America cause I don't see anything that would improve in America thru gay marriage, it's personal choice if that's what you guy's want go for it but really I don't see this benefitting me(straight America) in the least.

Godfather.

well, no, nothing personally would change for me, either. There's no direct benefit to most people, except for the broad notion that we are living in a world of acceptance and freedom rather than a world of bigotry and societal engineering designed by archaic and lizard-brained politicians.

"lizard-brained politicians." I gotta give ya that one bro but I am not sure if what you are talking about is progression or regression, let's look back at t.v raido theater and stage in the 50's and earlier then look at the state of the country during those economic times when made in America ment something and 80 or 90 % of good's used by Americans were made in America and business' did well ..now lets fast forward to the 60's the begining of free love and a culture advocating drug's and young people that wanted to fight the establishment or big brother or the man and slowley we move to today where progress has turned intertainment into a verbal cest pool ,we have out-soursed the American way of life and we give billions to forgin countries and worry about our retired people getting their SS checks (something they have worked for all their lives) and the meaning of family values has changed at the cost of our young because we tell them "it's o.k or parents are to ez to split from their responsibaltys...just the change Ive seen in the 30 years is bad and nobody want's to own up to it (let's blame it on the system...right) so in the grand sceam of thing's I am seeing more regression than progression and it's not regressing back to a better time it's progressing to a leud and violent behaiver from our young that learn from us because we said "it's o.k"..
anyway just my thought on it sorry for the rant.

Interesting part of your post: "I am seeing more regression than progression". You're not seeing what's happening with only one eye open.

you know what ? just a side note; I think one of the thing's that put this country in a tail spin was the 60's drug movment..well at least a fair part of it anyway.

the current 'look-at-me i need or want attention' attitude is leading to our downfall more than a movement that came 40+ years ago. an example is someone feeling the need to put their name at the bottom of every post :roll:

ummm...reading your post reminds me of a BB in a beer can,that rattle drives people nutty but it's o.k it's not your falt someone had to drink the beer first before they threw the can out the truck window. :shh:
