I think hexagon diagrams are great! Even bees use that geometry.

Elton John has been given a baby boy born on Christmas Day. Him and Furnish are to be allowed to be parents to the 7lb 15oz baby.

The pair had one of these civil partnerships in 2005.
They are so happy and neither had to join the priesthood.

One of the reasons gay people should be allowed to marry is that the anti-marriage crowd is so amazingly stupid. The following list was posted in an online gay debate and the anti-gay folks thought it was serious and started using it as "proof" that gay marriage is bad.


Why Gay People Shouldn't Get Married

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

The 'figures' make it clear that certain practices and promiscuious behavior require specific precautions. They also make it clear that monogamous bonding, as in legal marriage, very much reduces STDs.

Simply citing 'figures' does little to solve anything or suggest solutions unless you show how they are relevant.

{{Some people are gentetically disposed to be heavy, and there ARE ways to offset that problem with medications and diet.... but telling them "don't eat" is not one of the suggested solutions.}}

The figures make it clear, that a very small percentage of homosexuals want Marriage/monogamy(Scandanavian survey)
Those who do "marry", use it primarily for financial benefits/immigration/insurance etc....not to set up a family structure(the traditional definition of marriage).

The hiv figures for homosexuals are at least 44times worse for homos than heteroes If we take it that both demographics use around the same amount of "safe sex" precautions, the discrepancy must be put down to either extreme promiscuity among a large proportion of homos, or some other vector associated only with male/male sexual intercourse.

Are homos in general really 44 times more promiscuous than heteros?

Anyway, there is something very bad going on within homosexual practice, which means that we should not be promoting it as "safe and healthy" until the reasons for the huge percentages of premature deaths and disease, among especially young homosexuals, are determined.

I don't think "we" need to promote it at all, ake.

The big issue here is much easier to understand than the Bible's rather contradictory and confusing concepts. The Insurance Industry is against gay marriage, because it increases their exposure to family coverage and claims. But why should they make that the issue when there are plenty of morons with God Hates Queers stamped in their hearts who are more than willing to jump into the breach?

When I hear about the drug-abusing heterosexual parents who let their child get into the coke stash on their coffee table, or the drunken stepfather who beats a child to death for peeing on the couch, or the parents who leave their kids in cars in 110 degree temperatures while they do some quick shopping, I am quite satisfied that homosexual parents could be a good deal less dangerous and more responsible. I think the way you treat your mate and your offspring is much more important than whether you are a different or same sex couple,

Yes I would agree with that EJ, but with the homosexual marriage issue, we are forced to deal in generalities.
I would be in favour of removing chilren from heterosexual parents, who were unwilling or unable to amend destructive behaviour.

Many addicts in Scotland DO have their children removed when their addiction cannot be controlled.

"Promiscuity" is common among males who do NOT seek other males, also...

Human sexuality is not an 'either-or' thing.... it is a gradient.

I fear, ake, you are merely seeking statistics to support something you already believe. (yes, I'm sure you'll claim otherwise...but your history of posting certainly leads many to suspect that way.)

I'll not bother to try to refute you further, as I'm sure enough has been said on both side to make whatever points need making.

Re Elton being too old.

Ya know, any offspring or adopted children will be well off financially. And, they will have their parents around for a long time even if they die. It's called video recording.

By the same token, perhaps "young" people who do not have the financial means or intelligence to securely raise children should reconsider procreation or adoption?

Fuck that. I am almost 54. Like I said on the Hefner thread, if I had money, I would buy me some nice young pussy. And, if I won the lotto and had lotsa coin, she'd be squeezing out pups by the litter.

Well, erbert, I've actually been to a couple (all in a main-stream church, incidentally, performed by the regular, ordained pastor of the church--Lutheran, incidentally--where the idea was to sanctify and solemnize the union, whether state law recognizes it or not) and they were just as serious as any hetero wedding I've ever attended. Including my own (to a woman, incidentally, just in case you're wondering). And the people attending were just as serious and respectful as any wedding congregation.

Any other kind of behavior strikes me as simply adolescent.

"Any other kind of behavior strikes me as simply adolescent."

thank you, at my age I appreciate the compliment..

I grew up with Glam Rock as my earliest cultural normative conditioning.

When I was a cute slim wavy haired student I attracted more gay admirers
than I could share make up with.

I was adopted by gays as an honorary affiliate and taken to all student city gay clubs
in the hope they might convert me or at least be my pals.

I lived in an attic studio flat with no one else but gay mates for the final 2 years of my degree..

One of my best mates for over 30 years who I cuddle every time we meet
is well.. gay..


get the message.. chill..

camp gay humour dominates UK popular culture !!!!

so put on your cowboy hat, mount your big musculy stallion

and sing out loud and proud
