Pat:
Why are you so obsessed with the semantics argument? We agreed in the original
exchange on this issue that the effort to legislate public perception is
ineffective. In order to win acceptance Gays need to tone down their confrontational
posture.
Early
in 2009 I watched a You Tube video of a demonstration in San Francisco by the
GLBT because Prop 8 passed in the 2008 with a large majority. (Prop 8 stipulates that a marriage between one man and one woman is the only valid or recognized marriage in
California).
In
that video there were several offensive scenes of nudity, public masturbation,
and even one man engaged in fellacio with (I assume) his lover, while onlookers
watched and cheered them on. That is a far more offensive problem than the argument
about which term they use for legal unions.
Recently
the GLBT leadership has been trying arduously to lead their constituents away
from such behavior because it is so destructive to their cause and I applaud
those efforts. It has led to a strong movement within the Gay community to be
openly gay but not intentionally offending others. That is a thoughtful and intelligent
approach.
Re:
Christians: Of course Christians think marriage is a Holy Sacrament; IT IS
a Holy Sacrament in the Church. That’s what is taught and that is what they
believe. Are you in favor of religious freedom or not? It seems as if you are
determined to have full acceptance for atheism but you refuse to respect the
beliefs of Christians.
By
the way, why do you have such vociferous animosity toward Christians but not, apparently,
for any other religious belief system?
