The gross misunderstanding of gays lies in the fact the media chooses to whip out the camera when they're dressed like fetish clowns or leather men, and mainly portray gays as deviant individuals. I think most gays are normal ppl. They want a house, car, marriage, even kids. Totally normal ppl and the same as all of society save one detail.
Allowing gay marriage can only be a god thing. Like it's been said in the thread already 50% of marriages end in divorce and most in the first 7 years. Marriage is in crisis and it's straightppl's fault since gays aren't allowed to be married. Straights fucked the institution all by themselves.
I bet gay marriages would end in divorce less, and that's what scares the Babble thumpers. Most gays I've met are very together ppl...they've had to overcome a lot of crap to be out and they end up being very well adjusted savvy ppl. Sure some do gloryholing and baths and shit, but they're only 10% of the population and straights aren't in the spotlight for promiscuity since that's "ok" so their behavior is largely not called on them. The gay ppl I've met are very careful on who they call a bf and who they commit to. I think they have to, knowing there isn't nearly as many gay fish in the sea to pick from.
As far as the Amendment is concerned, Amendments shouldn't be wasted on bullshit like this, and his lame attempt to bring xian beliefs into the Constitution should be grounds for impeachment. I really hope I die before this country becomes a Christian police state. Keep your Babble out of the lives of americans...many of us don't want it or need your twisted message of hate and intolerance in the name of Gawad.
