False. Not all heterosexuals are bigots, do not condemn everything which differs from ourselves as "un-natural." My general impression of you is in accord with your description of yourself, that you are not a bigot. But that conflation of difference with "un-natural" is a bigoted sentiment, as well as demonstrably, biologically false; innumerable animal species exhibit homosexuality, ergo it is manifestly natural. It is also no more unusual (which is an entirely different category from "unnatural") than intelligence in the 90th or higher percentiles. :^) |

I am sure you are aware that teachers are constantly expected to pick up the pieces of everyone else's poor child rearing, but our own children are not considered important. less then half of the states allows same sex marriage there are churches in every state that will perform one i don't know about the rest of the world but the controversy here in america is not about whether or not churches will preform it its about whether or not the state will recognize it as of right now only 9 states allow same sex marriages 9 others have civil unions that provide some but not all of the same rights under DOMA a state has the right to not recognize one performed in another Rhode Island recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions New Jersey grants civil unions that provide "all of the same benefits, protections and responsibilities under the law, whether they derive from statute, administrative or court rule, public policy, common law or any other source of civil law, as are granted to spouses in a marriage state that is only 20 out of 50 states that alow or recognize same sex mariages and of those 20 only 11 of them allow ones that are equal to so called traditional marriage |

False. Not all heterosexuals are bigots, do not condemn everything which differs from ourselves as "un-natural." Still Chris, the statement says that 90% disapprove. While it may be 10% are homosexual by nature, a majority(not an overwhelming majority yet, but it is getting better) could be classified as SBNN. That would be "Straight, but not narrow". They simply have more to concern themselves with than who is in love with who. If the people are loving and caring, they are far ahead of the game. Janice |
