"It's interesting. I see all these political ads and all these

Here we come to the crux of the issue. We have a summary analysis that
explicitly mentions that expansion of marriage to include homos is not
the cause of the diminishing importance of marriage, but rather is
symptomatic of a pre-existing deterioration in the status of marriage
in the eyes of many citizens; yet, they then conclude that policy
makers should reject marriage for homos under the guise of benefiting
the family. The conclusion does not follow.
Here is one example of marriage and the traditional notion of the
family being eroded: the horrific explosion of out-of-wedlock births,
particularly to teenagers, since the early 1970s. This began to
happen, and reached its peak (there is, thankfully, some evidence that
out-of-wedlock births have declined a little), LONG before anyone
serious was considering expanding the definition of marriage to include
homos. So, exactly how does allowing homos to marry imperil "the
family"?
Opponents of homo marriage keep asserting, with neither evidence nor a
logically coherent story, that allowing it would "damage" the
institution of the family. They need to prove it. To date, they
haven't even tried, and this article doesn't constitute a start.

Homosexuals generally want to be left alone, but also want to enjoy the
same rights as everyone else.
Most people who fear rights for homosexuals have never come to terms with
the ugly truth that they themselves are probably homosexuals.

How's the violent crime rate? How often do rapes occur? How many people
don't have health insurance? Are there many unwanted, neglected, or
abused children? What's their homeless rate? How does their domestic
violence rate compare to ours?
If you look at those numbers, I think you'll find they're doing pretty
well. Studies in the U.S. about children raised in "intact" homes have
no relevance to the Netherlands. They take care of their children,
their families, and each other somewhat better than citizens of the
U.S. Statistically speaking.
There's a lot to be said for people making considered choices about
what's best for themselves and their children. People (gay or straight)
who want to get married, get married. People who don't want to get
married, don't. People have children because they choose to have
children, not because they don't have access to contraception or
because they "got unlucky" or because everyone expects them to have
children. As long as the children are wanted and cared for, that's
good.
Are children in the Netherlands doing worse than children in the U.S.?
Are there a lot of school shootings?
You say you care about the children, but you don't really mean it. You
just want to maintain your legal supremacy against gays, your scapegoat
for everything.
It's not true that everybody who finds homosexuality disgusting is
homosexual.
But I think there is some truth to the idea that people who find
homoseuxlaity disgusting AND SPEND LOTS OF TIME THINKING ABOUT IT may
be homosexual, or have some other personal issues they haven't dealt
with.
Because a normal person would say, "Yeah, *I* find it disgusting, but
so what? Different people like different things." And then would go on
to find something they enjoy more to think about.
There are lots of sexual practices, among gays and straights, that many
people would find disgusting. As long as no unwilling partner is being
harmed or exploited, it's not anybody else's business, as has no
bearing on the legal rights of the people involved. Equality under the
law is what's involved here.
Well, like others, I could point out that the original post was
objectively invalid, using the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc fallacy. And
that's true. There is absolutely ZERO evidence that allowing gays to
marry makes it less likely for heterosexuals to get married. ZERO. The
trends towards fewer people marrying predate gay marriage by DECADES,
and can also be seen in countries where gays can't get married. There
is absolutely no evidence for the original claim.
No red herring, no sleight of hand. Just the truth.
But I also find it strange that anti-gays think that a measure of the
health of society is "number of people getting married, and staying
married, whether they want to or not," rather than actually looking at
the health of the people in the society. Of course, they only think
that when they can use it to attack gays. The heroes of the
conservative movement - Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bob Barr - are
often divorced, breaking up their families and homes, leaving their
children with an absentee parent. Where is your criticism of them? The
red states have a far higher rate of divorce and single-mother families
than the blue states. Where is your criticism of THEM?
The original point was dishonest, and you are dishonest. You don't care
much about families breaking up UNTIL YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE GAYS.
If you want to prove me wrong, please respond to my entire post, and
don't take any of it out of context.

These defintions, and the analysis that goes with it, are as outdated

I'm with you. Marriage is called an "institution" for good reasons.
I also believe that our respective govs are not at all concerned with
the "breakdown" of marriage and family values. Much better to have two
separate households spending twice the money to raise the same number
of kids.
As for the "regular fuck" issue, the surest way to end a satisfying sex
life is to put rings on eachother's fingers, and contractual
arrangements on your feelings. What an outdated concept. No wonder it
fails more often than not.

Red herring. Sleight of hand. Changing the subject. Good on you!
Nobody's talking about getting rid of heterosexuality. Even in
countries where the marriage rate has dropped (regardless of whether it
has anything to do with gays, which it doesn't), heterosxuuality
continues unabated. Even when gays are given equal marriage rights
under the law, the vast majority of people continues to have
heterosexual sex.
So your comment is not an answer to my question, and, in addition, is
meaningless. But a good distraction.
Also
> "We can survive as a species without

is a non sequiter. Consider: we can survive as a species without
priests. We can survive as a species without novelists. We can survive
as a species without physicists (did, for thousands of years). We can
survive as a species without musicians.
Does this mean that priests, novelists, physicists, and musicians
"contribute nothing in the scheme of mankind"? Of course not. The same
is true of gays.
And, of course, gays are quite capable of having children. They do it
every day. A homosexual is not defined as "a person incapable of having
sex with someone of the opposite sex," but rather "a person who is
primarily attracted to, and falls in love with, people of the same
sex." Gays can conceve children in the ordinary biological way. Even
if they don't, there's always artificial insemination and the like.
If every person in the world woke up with a homosexual orientation
tomorrow, I guarantee the species would continue.
Do you understand what a "comparison" is? Truly? The terms in a
comparison are not going to be the same as the terms in the original.
That's why none of the comparisons were based on sexual orientation.
They're comparisons using other things. That's how comparisons work.
What I was demonstrating, quite clearly, is that the statement "We can
survive as a species without X. Therefore X contributes nothing in the
scheme of mankind." is FALSE. It's false when X is priests, novelists,
physicists, and musicians. Therefore we have no reason to believe it's
true when X is anything else, like homosexuals, unless additional
evidence is provided. You provided none. Your statement is FALSE.

Red herring, sleight of hand, change of subject. Good work.
I don't have an adopted sexual orientation. And I don't have any
particular interest in changing society so that most people are bi or
gay. I'm perfectly happy living in a society where the vast majority of
people are straight, as long as they treat gays with respect.
What I was saying was your statement that society would end if we
didn't have heterosexuals is FALSE. Such a society would continue just
fine, because homosexuals can have and raise children just fine. I'm
not suggesting we create such or society, and I don't see any way - or
reason - to do so. Giving gays equal rights won't create a society of
all gays (although, for some reason, some anti-gay bigots seem to think
it would - they must not have much faith in heterosexuality).
However, as I demoonstrated, your statement is FALSE.
You really do love your false claims, don't you? They're the only way
you can go on bashing gays.

Funny you should mention sperm donors. Many of my friends, both sexes,
are single parents, sharing custody. The women jokingly call their exes
sperm donors, and the blokes call their exes their incubators.

Oh, no. No. I don't call them false because they disagree with me. I
call them false because they are false. For example, you said that if
there were no heterosexuals, mankind would end. This is, quite simply,
false. When I pointed it out, you launched into "do you really want to
live in a society where...?!?" A red herring, a sleight of hand, a
distraction that has nothing to do with the fact that your statement
was false. (As I freely pointed out, no, that' not particuarly the
society I want to live in, nor did I ever say it was.) You couldn't
respond to what I actually said, because you would have to admit you
were wrong.
And I think using false statements to malign gay people comes under the
general heading of "gay-bashing," so I'm comfortable with that, too.
Ummm... do you know what the word "adopted" means? You used it, so I
assumed that you did. I have a sexual orientation, but I've never
"adopted" one. Did you?
A dictionary might be of help to you here.
I don't know if the world would miss it. Gay people would miss it,
though; it's part of their intrinsic nature.
Meanwhile, where would you get your hairdressers? Your interior
decorators? Your broadway musicals? The statue of David, that so many
millions of people have appreciated? Gays have contributed enormously
to this world, and you have no way of knowing whether their being gay
hasn't influenced their contributions. If you want homosexulaity to
vanish, then be willing to give up all the contributions of
homosexuality. Believe me, the world would miss those.
Alan Turing was a mathematician who was instrumental in deciphering the
Nazi Enigma code during WW II. Without him we might never have defeated
Germany. He was also the founder of modern computer science. One day,
after the war, he reported to the police that his house had been
robbed, and that he thought the criminal was a friend of a man Turing
knew. Questioned, he admitted that the man he knew was a sexual partner
of his. Turing was arrested for homosexuality. He lost his secuirty
clearance, his job, and his reputation. He was treated with female
hormones, which affected him terribly. A year later he committed
suicide.
If he had lived, he would have made more important contributions to the
field of computer science. On the other hand, if he ha been arrested
before the war, we might all be speaking German.
This is one of the people you would have perferred never existed.
Congratulatins. What have YOU contributed to society?
I see that you don't know anything about my logic. Nor have you asked.
My position is this: if people do not harm unwilling partners or
exploit the helpless, then treat them with respect. Pedophiles exploit
the helpless. Lock them up and throw away the key.
If you can't tell the difference between a pedophile abusing a child
and two adults - gay, straight, or otherwise - who love each other,
then you are not using the eyes, brain, and heart God gave you.
No, the term is not humorous. It comes from Dr Laura and it means males who
create children but then abandon them.

And yet you're a member of that part of the population that is

Congrats.

The evidence suggests other transmission methods are to blame there. Men who
claim to have contracted HIV from women are lying. The most efficient way to
contract HIV is to be the receptive partner during anal sex. HIV researchers
have a joke---"What do you call a man who claims he got HIV from his
girlfriend? A liar.".
