I just want to mention that I've barely ever posted on this thread...or even opened it...for one simple reason.

I am completely uninterested in wrangles about homosexual marriage. I simply don't care who marries who or for what reason as long as they are both adults and they can make their own decision about it. If so, it's absolutely none of my business who they want to marry.

As for all the other arcane stuff about whether they should get to adopt kids or whatever.....I'm not interested enough to bother worrying about that either. My reaction is...***yawn***...okay, I think I'll let someone else get worked up about that one.

It's a non-issue to me whether or not homosexuals or lesbians want to marry one another. Total 100% flippin' non-issue.

I agree, though, with what Peace said: "If we discriminate against people based on shit that's none of our business to begin with, then we open the door to discriminate against ANYone in the whole nation."

Right on. If you want to live in freedom, then give it to others as well...as long as they don't hurt anyone else, rob, commit fraud, rape, assault, damage property, engage in slander and other obviously antisocial stuff like that.

Gays have always existed, they are often quite talented and creative and even charming people, they have made huge contributions to the arts and to human culture generally, and they don't scare me one bit. Not even slightly. Do they live differently from me in some respects? Yeah. Well, so what if they do?
