Tivo spokesjock Tim Tebow has been dumped by the New York Jets. No more genuflecting on the sideline. The Jets drafted another quarterback and immediately put Tebow on waivers. So far, no other team is expressing interest. How long will the Tebow-Tivo gig last?
I actually have no problem with family members getting married if they're both consenting adults. Live and let live.
I don't have any problem with polygamy either, but in that case I can see where it would be an issue from a management perspective for the government. Also the potential for abuse would be much higher.
My only moral objection to any of this is that there is an entire class of people being discriminiated against because of religious bigotry.
I care about what my children see as acceptable values for our society. I can't say what other people think about it but can only provide my opinion.
I don't like shows on TV that depict things like this as normal acceptable behavior. This would include more than just gay and lesbian behavior. Our society has become more and more inundated with this and many other things as the norm.
I could not stand president Clinton because not only was he a liar but he made a mockery of what is supposed to be the greatest job of influence in America.
Yes, those are my opinions and its a free country. So, I'm allowed to have my opinions on the subject and you're not going to be able to change my mind any more than I'm going to be able to change yours. But I do have to wonder, where do we draw the line on what is acceptable as a society and when is it okay to stand up for morality (and not be labeled a bigot)?

If you don't think homosexual relationships are a good idea don't have one. Outside of religious dogma there is zero reasons for you, I, or anyone else to care if another person is in love with someone of the same sex or if they can get married under the eyes of the law.
On the bigot thing while I don't believe not supporting gay marriage alone makes one a bigot, a bigot would have that view.
Yep, and they resolve nothing because people care more about winning the argument about their entrenched views than in actually considering anything anyone else writes.
Of course, in a properly moderated forum this thread would have been locked a long time ago as it has turned into a political discussion, which is clearly prohibited in this section of the forum. Not that I didn't contribute to that tangent. Just sayin'.
When I said the media bigots twist studies to make false comparisons, I was referring quite specifically to groups like Focus on the Family. And so now you have given me a link to a FOTF affiliate. And that link proves my exact point. So thank you.
The studies don't need gay marriage supporters to discount them. They discount themselves. Well actually, only one of the studies linked to in that article is even working. And even though the FOTF article cherry-picks sentences from the study, they/you ignore the fact that the study admits outright that it did little to no examination of actual SS couples, and no married SS couples at all because the study is so old it pre-dates SSM. LOL.
So thank you again for proving my point that they, and you as their proxy, twist inapplicable studies to fit an agenda.
For those unaware, FOTF founder James Dobson claims gays will destroy the earth, gay marriage will lead to donkey-man marriage, and that women wait for their husbands to assume leadership. So clearly he's a down-the-middle sociological scholar with no agenda, whose groups can and should be cited in all credible discussions.
The studies are applicable in that they find advantages for children who benefit from having a married mother and father. A same-sex marriage can never provide that.
As for your last paragraph, it's basically inaccurate and somewhat unintelligible leftist talking points about James Dobson and FOTF.

LOL, no. You can't credibly claim it's applicable when it doesn't even study what we are talking about. Especially when it's so old it pre-dates what we are talking about.
There is also nothing inaccurate about the quotes, as much as I'm sure you wish otherwise. So feigning dismissal due to left-wing agenda lacks credibility too.

I made my point about it and why I do not think the concept of marriage should apply. You guys act like its frivolous and just brush it aside and only talk about it in terms that make you feel like you're on the moral high ground. So be it, agree to disagree and move on.
