However, I feel that in Gays attempts to mainstream their lifestyle/sexual activity, they want to FORCE people to accept it, whether they have legitimate reasons for not "liking" it. People do not want to be bullied into accepting things they they have reservations about. I have STATED that GAYS should be treated equally under the law. Civil Unions should suffice constitutionally as far as equal protection. I'm for that. Marriage is an institution set up by God. That is His domain, not the Constitution's, so therefore, what Gays have should not be termed "marriage". There is no "hate" in that thought, nor a vendetta.
P.S. don't hate me for this, but whether you find the comparisons ludicrous or sickening, it is the Judeo/Christian/Muslim God who has made that determination in the Book of Leviticus. I like you and I want you to like me, but I can't lie about God's Word just so I can appear "nice".
I love you though. It's only a disagreement of opinion and we can kick it any time cause you are good people.

now doggy,
you know we go waaaaaaaaaaaayyy back!! you are one of the individuals i admire and hold in high standards as a greek.
but one thing i don't think is that gay people are forcing people to accept their lifestyle. one doesn't have to accept anything BUT respect, yes...respect me as a person and don't insult me with quotes from the bible or what defines an institution of marriage. if there is anything being forced, it's that passage from the bible, thrown all over this thread.
i know what leviticus says...there are are rules in there about several laws that we disobey. i don't see anyone bringing them to the table.
i may not be very religious nore do i tote around a bible quoting right from wrong. all i want is the same rights as any other couple does. the chance to marry and receive the same benefits and adopt children.
be the way doggy, i don't hate you for your thoughts and i would FORCE myself on you and you couldn't resist (my personality is adorable) i just refuse to go hide in the closet and under the rock from my sexuality.
question...am i the only resident open lesbian on greekchat? please do not out anyone...i'll take pm's.
