i'm gay - and i finally found someone i love, who treats me right, who i respect - and who respects me.

with all the shit going on in this world - 9/11, war, crime, hate crimes, murders, all the hate in the middle east....

what the **** is wrong with 2 people who love each other?

i can think of HUNDREDS of things in this world that are worse than 2 people who love each other, and want to show commitment to each other.

oklahoma has a 75% divorce rate. how sacred is that? how sacred is who wants to marry a millionare?

in canada, gay marriage is legal everywhere. and guess what? the family home still exists. the country didnt fall apart. there is no riots in the streets. the mom/dad/kids unit still exists. but at the same time, those who love each other who just happen to be of the same sex - they exist too.

the day MY marriage to my same sex partner affects the LIVES OF OTHERS DIRECTLY, then yes - i would see a problem. untill then, worry about your own lives and work on making your home a happy place for YOUR family.


Mate, a very touching post I thought, I feel sorry your mother is so blinded by ignorance. Your point about two people loving each other is a good point. Not to go off tangent but i watched a documentory on incestual relationships. Basically there was this couple that met, fell in love, etc, THEN they find out they are actually brother and sister. However they carry on their relationship. They even have children, but the children are taken away from them each time and the man gets thrown into prison. Now, is this a bad thing or not?
