The "real" miss usa

I agree dude, and they have their every right to have their own church's, i mean, its just different beliefs...we all have them.... and i have to admit i dont have a lot of information about the subject.... I just think that legally should be allowed, religious beliefs should never be pushed to other people....

 

So we're free to accept gays, but not free to reject them?

 

Interesting discussion thus far,civil too.A friend of mine who is gay one time put it in this perspective for me......He said that when he hears people referring to homosexuality as being a "lifestyle choice",it frustrates him.Who in their right mind would make a choice to either live their life in shame and secrecy or potentially face being ostricized from much of society including your own family.Not to mention the potential of verbal and physical assaults,the simple fact of the matter is that Gays just do not enjoy the basic human rights that straights do and that includes the bonds of marrige and the benefits afforded by it.

Any gay couple I have ever known were kind,loving,honest hard working and faithful to one another.I've known an awful pile of straights that were anything but.

What impact does it have on me or my family if the two guys next door are in love and legally married?

 

I pick my friends, I choose my beliefs, consequently I judge. And I will be judged.

 

That's just incorrect. The bible often discusses who is the ultimate judge, but it in fact does not prohibit an individual from passing judgement, what it says is that "your judgement will be judged by the Lord". Thus, you should follow His teachings.

 

Gays are God Parents to my children. They are wonderful people, but I do NOT condone their sexual conduct and I would never consider them as the same as me because they cannot (will not) procreate. They are physiologically different than I am. I would be lying to myself if I thought different.

 

I don’t understand why a personals physiology has any thing to do with mirage. It's like telling a heterosexual couple who don’t plan on having kids they can’t get married.

 

Props to your Mom and step-Mom,sounds like they are making this world a better place to live in,......and really,isn't that what it's all about?

 

Precisely. Just as the teens can, but Shouldn't.......

 

I'm gonna have to leave this thread. It's time to go fuck my horse.

 

So if you don't plan on having kids you shouldn't be allowed to get married?

 

And getting back to the original discussion about the pagent contestant......As I said,she should have been allowed to express her views without negative effect just like we are here.

Here is a quote from Voltaire that I always think of in times like these:

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
