Charlie, the fact that you have to point to an obscure culture in an obscure country to make your point actually invalidates your evidence.
Even since the word was invented, marriage has referred to a relationship between at least one man and at least one woman. Even during the famed Greek period when so many men were gay, they apparently didn’t marry each other.
Gays have a history of trying to manipulate the English language to change political reality. Years ago, they invented the word “homophobic” to “prove” that people who disapproved of homosexuality actually “felt that their sexuality was threatened” by gays, and thus were afraid of gays.
I am not afraid of gays. I do not feel threatened, I just believe that homosexual activity is a perversion of heterosexual activity. Bestiality is a perversion of heterosexual activity. Masturbation is a perversion of heterosexual activity. I do not advocate violence or a denial of civil rights. I attempt to be polite and civil around everyone. It is clear that gays feel threatened by people like me.
Some gay supporters want to define my views as hate speech and censor me. It won’t work.
Civil Unions were defeated in Colorado in part because the gay community opposed them. They want the societal approval that goes with the term “marriage.” I don’t think that they are going to get the approval that they crave.
I have no doubt that the response to this posting will be people calling me names rather than people discussing the issue in a civil manner.
