192	SingleParkPassholder Sun 5/25/2008 9:16a	"So straight marriages between people who can't or don't want to have children also devalues marriage?" That would be my marriage, and I was a long time ago told by Douglas that my marriage does not benefit society. Isn't that nice?
193	X-san Sun 5/25/2008 9:31a	***<This is simply not true.> Yes, it is.*** No, it's not. A female gay couple can have a child just as easily as a straight couple. Aside from sperm banks and options along those lines, it is as simple as one of the women going out and getting herself pregnant. You're argument doesn't hold water.
194	X-san Sun 5/25/2008 9:35a	***That would be my marriage, and I was a long time ago told by Douglas that my marriage does not benefit society.*** That's a foolish, out of touch way of looking at things. But don't forget, this from a guy who has no compunction against destroying nature for a few more gallons of gas to satiate our overpopulated, overindulgent planet in the first place. What else would you expect the guy to say? Considering the overpopulation problems already mentioned, not to mention the fact that the world already has far too many orphans, and also kids born into poverty level, single-parent situations, and all the rest..you are probably much more beneficial to society than many people (married or otherwise) who ARE having kids these days.

It is the same sort of bigotry, in service of a different cause. If this makes anyone uncomfortable, good. That means you have a conscience, and will one day see reason.
196	mele Sun 5/25/2008 11:38a	I'm not a SCI-FI geek so will someone please tell me why I need to be so worried about the population dying out hundreds of years from now? (Maybe God created gay people to help control the Earth's population. Maybe that's why we have diseases and death that make children orphans in the first place. How do we know that all we're supposed to do on this Earth is keep it heavily populated?) It seems that a lot of people who are against the idea of Global Warming (and governmental regulations against corporations) are also against gay marriage. I guess it's GREAT for big business to possibly threaten our future populations out of pure greed (it's the American way!) but gays wanting equality in their own personal lives with their loved ones is something that must be stopped. I didn't realize things were so peachy around the globe right now. Gays ruin everything. So, the population is falling because gay people (whom you've already pointed out "can't" produce children) are allowed to marry. As if by magic, once gays said their marriage vows, straight women in the country instantly stopped ovulating. Nobody felt the need to procreate anymore all because of the gays. (Hm, there couldn't be OTHER factors involved there. Marriages were STRONG before! Just that dirty gays ruined wonderful domestic bliss and childbearing for the lovely straight people.) If people don't pursue their dreams, their loves, their desires to procreate simply because gay people have chosen to do so, it's their own damn faults, not gays' faults. (Seriously, do we really believe that couples said to themselves "I'd really like to get married and have children but the gays ruined it for me. What's the point now?" "I was going to have children but my gay neighbors got married and I just couldn't go through with it.") To blame gays is ridiculous. To blame ANYONE for someone else's actions is ridiculous. I know there is one political party in this country that says it's all about personal responsibility. Where does that fall into place here? **** So, Global warming is a myth and gays ruining society is a proven fact. Alrighty. **** Our societies are just as doomed (if not more) as long as we refuse to acknowledge that EVERY single person deserves the same rights that we have. The societies that refuse to acknowledge this DESERVE to die out.
197	mele Sun 5/25/2008 12:12p	Fear that gays are going to ruin society...how is this belief not the *definition* of homophobia? It seems like people who believe this want us to believe that the ruination of society is a logical conclusion but it's CLEARLY hystereical and based only on their own emotional predjudices. That's why they can't understand why no one agrees with them. The belief IS illogical. They also seem to get angry and defensive when called homophobic. Hilarious!

So far you've produced no credible evidence.> No one has ever shown how the data is twisted or why it's not credible. It's simply been dismissed. And I've produced more evidence than anybody else has.
