Will Christians be protected from Gay social goals?
Post #1Once gay marriage is legalized in most states and forced on those that will not legalize it by the power of Democrat majority in Congress, how will Christians be protected from Gay Activists desiring to force Gay Culture and gay sex on every aspect of Christian life?

Hey, guess what!
I got a phone call from Miss California!
She asked me
"Do you support keeping marriage only between a man and a women legal" or something very close to that. It was a bit of a wierd wording, so that at first it sounded like if you said no, you were for not keeping marriage as it exists now legal. If you missed the word "only" you could have totally misinterpreted the question.
I said no.
She said thank you and hung up.
I can't wait to see what the poll says.

I don't doubt this at all. I've seen more than one poll in my day where the wording was either distorted deliberately, or ignorantly, or both.micatala wrote:Hey, guess what!

Right, as if the militant gay lobby will allow research into the causes of homosexuality. I posted an article earlier (Remember, you went to a name-calling attack on the author?) that claimed childhood trauma in gay males was a significant factor.goat wrote:You listed things.. yet.. why, you did not provide evidence. You made yet another series of claims, .. without backup.Mere_Christian wrote:Juvenile Hall, Prisons, Youth residential facilities (Group Homes), psychiatric facilities, homeless shelters, STD's, drug addiction, school drop outs.McCulloch wrote:Two observations:East of Eden wrote:All things being equal, kids are better off in a home with a mother and father.
Primo, seldom are all things equal.

Gay rights is a very new structure for the family makeup. It will take time to see what this does to children. It does not bode well for expectations based on current pop culture that same-gender "parents" will raise people with a stable mental health.
I believe there was a vice president that once tried to bring our attention to the problem of broken families. He may have gotten patatoe wrong, but he was dead right about healthy children.
Do you know the difference between 'providing evidence' and 'unsupported claims'? Perhaps you can actually provide numbers from a valid source, such as a government agency.
As far as kids being better off in two-parent families, even the liberal Brookings Institute admits that: http://www.azcentral.com/families/artic ... ealth.html
80% of prison inmates come from single parent homes. Take that factor out of the equation and black/white crime rates are about the same.

McCulloch brought up VP Quayle criticizing broken familes, which you then attacked.

Although I would consider a child raised by two homosexuals to be a 'broken' family.

And just because you consider it a 'broken' home doesn't mean the child, or his parents do.
And , upon reading what McCulloch actually wrote is he didn't mention 'father and mother' vs two parents at all. you are still making a straw man from his argument and distorting it.

I don't see what this has to do with allowing same sex marriage or the gay social goals or even the protection Christians claim that they need from said gay social goals. I don't know of any gay couples who wish to move children from stable families into foster care. Do you?East of Eden wrote:Opposing gay goals for society has nothing at all to do with bigotry or civil rights violations, but with a sensible rationale for the mental and physical health of children.

We don't know if stable descent gay couples can properly raise children, therefore it should be illegal.

So your answer is to deny gay couples the right to marry and guarantee that their children remain in single parent homes. Really smart that!East of Eden wrote:80% of prison inmates come from single parent homes. Take that factor out of the equation and black/white crime rates are about the same.

East of Eden wrote:80% of prison inmates come from single parent homes. Take that factor out of the equation and black/white crime rates are about the same.Out of context. My statistic was in answer (if I remember right) to someone who said there's nothing wrong with children being raised on single-parent household.So your answer is to deny gay couples the right to marry and guarantee that their children remain in single parent homes. Really smart that!
It is related to the gay marriage debate in that a gay couple are still deficient just as a single parent household is - there is no mother and father present.
