re: Is it possible to be against gay marriage/homosexuality without being a bigot?

I don't support changing the meaning of a word that has been around longer then our Country just for political correctness.

Words mean things. Our government at one time recognized married to be defined as between a man and a woman, so I never supported gay marriage. I did support civil unions that had the same rights as marriage. Yes, I know it's only words. But words mean things. I don't like definitions changing to suit a social agenda. The gays can get married now since the government has changed the definition.

As far as homosexuality goes, it's none of my business what consenting adults do. I'm not in favor of children being taught 'alternative life styles.' Let the kids figure it out on their own.

AMEN ^

What ever people want to do is fine with me - just don't require me to celebrate it unless I want to.

I don't like whatever it is that homosexuals do in the 'privacy of their bedrooms' and if they would be satisfied with leaving it there there would be no problems with anyone. However, the new 'rebel without a cause' syndrome advocates seem to think that since homosexuals have been subjected to ridicule in the past that we should all have to celebrate their lifestyle and treat it as though it were a religion.

Instead of just doing what they do, they want to strut around advertising their proclivities and demanding everyone else treat it as sacrosanct.
