Gay Marriage/Civil Unions

With questions plaguing the nation about Gay marriage, adoption and civil unions...I was interested to know what others really think about this subject. Religion seems to be the most significant factor whether it is wrong or right, however just the fear (homophobia) and hate for those whose choose to have same sex relationships angers and even disgusts some. Why? Why do you think that people are so fearful?

My take: If two people love each other and choose to be together....then so be it! Love is an amazing and complex thing. But it is wonderful when cherished and nurtured. Sexually whatever a person chooses to do behind closed doors is their business even heterosexuals have sexual behavior(s) that they dare not share and let others know because of shame, fear and/or embarrassment. Ones sexual behavior and escapades should be private between those parties that share that experience. Seems that more and more people are coming out of the closet and the stereotypical homosexual or lesbian no longer fits the effeminate or butch criteria. Many male and female gays are "normal" people who are just as masculine as their male or feminine as their female "counterparts"..hahaha! Major atheletes, entertainers, members of the media, clergy, your best friend (whose in the closest and is always bashing gays),the curios college athlete, the curious person who always wants to talk about homosexuals whether it is negative or positive, or that person who is bi-curious just wants the experience or finds themself attracted to their best friend and does not know why....I could go on....LIFE and its strange mysteries, huh...WHY, WHY, one asks!! Well only you know. Next.

The freedom of choice is a wonderful thing to have. Love, I believe, knows no gender, age, ethnicity or religion, etc. We have to at least agree on that. Discrimination is ugly and dangerous whether it is against gays, because of ethnicity, religion, or whatever. We all should enjoy life and as long as one does not infringe their behavior(s) upon another...then let it be, right?

Should anyone comment on this blog then it will lead to my next question...coming soon!

Amor Vincit Omnia.........Love Conquers All
&
Il Padelt ...........................God is our hope

Peace & Love....................hmmmmm

Are you gay/bi-sexual? I have been curious to know. If you are that is ok because I do not have a problem with that. I am "straight" but have been curious for a long time.

I don't know how to come out. I don't want to come out, I just want to have the experience and if I like it then I would maybe have a secret relationship with another, but I would never let anyone know.

I see nothing wrong with civil unions of gays, because they are just affirming their love publicly for each other like regular married couples and also they should recieve the same benefits as married couples especially when it comes to healthcare and parenting.

Most of the guys I know display tendencies and I always wonder if these are "secret/dl passes", I know they are but we just blow it off because we are scared and too macho...but I love women....I mean I really love women....but some times I am attracted to the same sex...I mean a guy knows when another guy is attractive, right? I'm not alone am I?

Please give me some feedback.

I definitley agree with you on this one. When it comes to someone being gay or lesbian, there are always comments made to make them feel bad or make it seem as if its the worst thing in the world. If a person chooses to have relations with someone of the same sex, then so be it. It is no one else's business. What's done behind closed doors should stay there. I do not understand why someone else would even care about what another person does. And to all the people that are gay or lesbians and are always trying to bash other gays or lesbian's, please stop it. In the end, when you do decide to come out, you'll only make yourself look stupid.
