Is the desire to change the definition of marriage, simply an attempt to give hosexuals access to children?

Question

As it is now, homosexuals have the same rights to get married as heterosexuals. Given the definition of "marriage" is the union in law of a man and a woman. They can get married to someone of the opposite sex who will have them, just exactly the same as heterosexuals. What will prevent, for example, gay men insisting on being Boy Scout leaders and adoption? Certainly it must be obvious to all real parents, such a plan is dangerously insane. I can see how lawyers might love such a change for the billions of law suit dollars it would generate.

Answer 1

Apparently you don't need to be married to adopt children or make them your legitimate heirs. Look at Laura Ingraham... she is single and adopted a little boy from Russia and a little girl from Guatemala. Look at the Octobabe... she had 8 and she's not married. You don't have to legitimize marriage in order to have children, no matter what end of the political spectrum you're coming from.



One of the main reasons most homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt is that there are legitimate studies which show child molestation and pedophilia occur far more commonly among homosexuals than among heterosexuals on a per capita basis. NAMBLA provides its members among other things, information to homosexuals on how to build relationships with young boys for the purpose of engaging in statutory rape of these children. The dark side of never fully satisfiedsexual addiction of homosexuality, is seldom talked about.



What homosexuals want to do by changing the definition of marriage, is to legitimize their homosexual agenda. I do not consider my opinions "hate speech", but I guarantee that others will. I consider my opinions based on facts from legitimate studies.



The human body is quite callous in how it handles mistreatment and the perversion of its natural functions. When two men mimic the act of heterosexual intercourse with one another, they create an environment, a biological counterfeit, wherein disease can thrive. Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences. Multidrug-resistant USA300 has spread rapidly among men who have sex with men in San Francisco and Boston, and that having male-male sex seems to be a risk factor…well, duh!



Because of the patterns of increased sexual risk behaviors among homosexuals, largely because of a carelessness that has resulted from "the availability of potent antiretroviral therapy" to treat HIV, there also has been an accompanying resurgence in early syphilis, rectal gonorrhea and new HIV infections among the homosexual populations studied.



Ancient cultures were rife with homosexuality, but that didn't make it good for their society either... Even ancient texts warn people about sexual practices and personal conduct which would help keep a society healthy. Here are five guidelines that were mentioned in ancient texts:

1) No sexual relations with close relatives

2) No adultery

3) No child sacrifice

4) No homosexual relationships

5) No sexual relationship with animals



All these come from the ancient text of Leviticus 17-18 Now, if these same homosexual advocates wouldn't think about sacrificing/killing & their babies (already been born, of course) or not condone sexual relations with close relatives, then why would they advocate other practices which would endanger the health of a society.



The person is not to be hated, the person's detrimental actions are to be deplored. No one in a healthy society would condone personal murder & thievery and say the person should be given a legal privileged to murder and steal. Those of us who would not condone those actions would be prosecuted as having "hate speech" against murderers and thieves. This may seem ludicrous to some. It is the the homosexual's physical detriment & emotional loss, that those who don't condone their behavior, won't confront the problem.

Answer 2

The definition and understanding of what a marriage is has been changing through history. There is not much to "maintain". I think the LEGAL definition should be "A union between two consenting adults." This removes the governmental control and places it into the hands of the people. If people wish to restrict it to "one man and one woman", they have all the freedom to do that. Currently, there is a growing number who do not care to. This also gives power to the churches to interpret what marriage is. I want gays to have the same rights may it be called a union or marriage. The name is superficial but the symbolism the couple create is not. These marriage laws are meant to strengthen and aid a family. Gay couples DO make good parents and the government should support them just like straight couples.

Answer 3

I would hope that those who adopt would be decent people.



I know many gay people who wouldn't bother me if they had children, however, there is always that concern and element as you bring fourth. Being gay doesn't make a person a pedophile and there are lots of gay parents out there who are good parents.



I think lots of the desire to be married stems from them wanting the same choices and rights as anyone else has and being angry that they are not allowed to do as they wish. I also think that the rights in terms of beneficiaries for pensions as well as health care plans and such are an issue for them.



I understand and have a live and let live attitude. I admit to having a hard time dealing with it and accepting is all, though, as I'm not gay and they make me uncomfortable, for the most part. But, I try to find peace with them and recognize them as human beings. The really flamboyant people bother me as they are more "in your face" and I think part of what they are doing is attention seeking behavior. They are the ones who give gays a bad name, I think?



In the end, when it comes to the decisions about gay marriage being legal or not, I am angry when it comes down to elected officials being the ones to say yes or no to it. I think all of us should have the right to vote on it. Let the people decide and do not penalize a church/pastor if he/she is not going to perform the marriage, etc.

Answer 4

No, Its desired to slap God in the face. Marriage has been around,Longer than any standing government.Even longer than Christianity.It had always been defined as between a man and a woman.So Since the act of homosexuality is an abomination(in Gods eyes) they are challenging God and the people whom believe in Him.

As far as Homosexuals and children,I really have no problem with them having adopted children.Ive met some fairly conservative Homosexuals,that are very well grounded.I also have no problem with them having a civil union(as long as its not called marriage).

Answer 5

Yes.

The "homosexuals and pedophilia are different things" crowd are PC sheep. Look at the Catholic Church as a great example. Everyone said those Priests who molested boys were pedophiles. Well, that's what the liberal news reported. They are homosexuals. It was all boys they molested. No coincidence there. But they couldn't have reported it as gays because that would ruin the image they want us to have of gays.

Homosexuality and pedophilia are closely related. Both are sexual perversions and not natural. Both cause inherent problems. Yet, while just about the same, people want us to believe that one's okay and one's bad?

In many cases, pedophiles are homosexuals who have access to younger boys. And that's what our country is trying to push towards. Put them in Churches, Boy Scouts, and allow them to adopt? It's only inviting more molestations.

Answer 6

Nothing will prevent a gay man from being a boy scout leader because not all gay men are pedophiles and the suggestion of such is simply ludicrous. In fact I think you will find that the majority of convicted pedophiles are by all accounts 'straight' some with wives and families. And where have you found your definition of marriage? It is very archaic and you need to get yourself a new dictionary.

Washington Post (01/31/00) P. A4, From news services--

High AIDS Toll Among Priests Has Been Obscured, Paper Says



KANSAS CITY, MO--AIDS has killed hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in the United States although other causes may be listed on their death certificates, the Kansas City Star reported yesterday.



The newspaper reported that its examination of death certificates and interviews with experts indicated several hundred priests had died of AIDS-related illnesses since the mid-1980s and hundreds have the AIDS virus. The death rate of priests from AIDS is at least four times that of the general population, the newspaper said.



Bishop Raymond J. Boland of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph said the deaths show that priests are human: "Much as we would regret it, it shows that human nature is human nature."



Six of 10 priests responding on confidential questionnaires from the newspaper said they knew of at least one priest who had died of an AIDS-related illness and one-third knew a priest living with AIDS.



The paper cited the case of Bishop Emerson J. Moore, who left the Archdiocese of New York in 1995 and went to Minnesota, where he died in a hospice of an AIDS-related illness. His death certificate attributed the death to "unknown natural causes" and listed his occupation as "laborer."



After an AIDS activist filed a complaint, officials changed the cause of death to "HIV-related illness," the paper reported, but the occupation was not corrected.



The Word of God refers to the Catholic Church as the “Great Whore.”



May 17, 1993, on C-SPAN, Dr. Paul Camerson, co-founder of the Family Research Institute, stated: "Though little research has been done with children who are being raised by homosexuals and lesbians--so far--we have found it to be nothing more than a horror story." Yet, on the other hand, one homosexual stated (Around the Fall of 1993, on "Larry King Live") maybe one out of every one hundred rapes is committed by a homosexual. This does not state that homosexuals are not rapists. But, when was the last time any of us ever heard of a heterosexual male raping another heterosexual male or homosexual in our prison system, or any where else for that matter? It has been stated that rape is as equally high for men as it is for women: 39 percent.



February 2, 1996, The Good News Network Radio, Wyatt Roberts, head of the Texas division of the American Family Association host a talk show out from Austin, Texas. Mr. Roberts launch a drive to identify on-the-air 65 business that were advertising on a gay newsletter called the Texas Triangle, and was going to boycott them if they continue to do so. The Texas Triangle is a very strong supporter of INCEST and PEDOPHILIA! A gay/lesbian organization from a local college threaten him with a lawsuit if the newsletter loses advertising dollars because of a possible boycott.

Answer 8

Whatever it is , it is against all the laws of nature !! If queers and lesbians believe they are a separate "species" ; then they are the only "species" on the face of the earth that cannot reproduce itself !

Answer 9

Yes and many more advantages including right of survivorship when owning property, adoption, healthcare on each other's policy like a spouse, etc. Lots of advantages.

Answer 10

I believe it is all that plus they want to be seen as normal.

The Bible calls them an abomination, however Jesus died for all people. Those then who reject Jesus reject salvation.

This is where the separation of church and state is ignored by the left because they want to force pastors to marry against church doctrine.

Answer 11

No, actually, I don't. I see it as an attack on organized religion. They want to make religion suffer, and are willing to do most anything to do so.

I fear several First Amendment cases going to the Supreme Court.

Answer 12

the political sistem will not be able to do that.to Meany thing involves with it

Answer 13

There is currently no ban that stops a homosexual from either adopting a child or being a scout master or mistress. Homosexuals are not, by definition child molesters. There is no plot to gain access to children.

Answer 14

I trust an openly gay person more than some repressed in the closet person. Repression leads to mental illness.

Answer 15

Lolz

Answer 16

You are confusing homosexuality with pedophilia.

What do you think of straight people being around children?

Answer 17

That's hilarious, because some other countries define marriage much differently.

Answer 18

Perhaps. I think it's more an attempt by them to get legitimacy for something they know in their hearts is wrong.

Answer 19

Homosexuals are not pedophiles and your logic is ludicrous. The person home-schooling you is doing a terrible job.

Answer 20

it many ways, yes
