Google “Zombietime” and click on “Up Your Alley Fair.” After recovering from the uncensored photos (!), Yahoo “God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up” on the “clericalwhispers” listing (even Jesus told Judas to hurry up – John 13:27). Also Yahoo “Dangerous Radicals of the Religious Right.” See all of this before the predicted California earthquake happens a la Rev. 16:19 (“the cities of the nations fell”) – and before hurricanes and other conscience-stirring disasters occur elsewhere! The fast-moving goal of Gaydom is to quietly sneak its depravity on to every Main Street on earth while decent folks stay asleep and do nothing. Bryan

Of course, in all respects other than tax breaks: I believe tax breaks should only be for those–irrespective of “gender” or “orientation”–who are supporting dependents. That’s the only “interest” the government has a right to, in terms of people’s living arrangements. People NOT supporting dependents, whether “married” or “civilly united” or not, should pay the same tax rate as single people.

What would you say about such a person?
And would it be so bad if he and his partner got — not a “marriage,” which plenty of gays have no interest in — but simply some of the legal benefits that heterosexual couples receive?

I’d say go for it, if and only if, brothers and sisters living in a lifelong partnership relationship are afforded exactly the same benefits. Do you agree with that?

Civil marriage has never been about relationships (unless you’re talking in a strictly legal “partnership” kind of relationship). Civil marriage has never been about love or even fidelity. It is about rights and responsibilities. It’s also about who gets what in the event of a break up.

The responsibility is that you generate the next generation of citizens to produce for your country, and provide fodder to fight in its wars. The benefits you get flow from that.

Recently, regular marriage has demanded the benefits while shirking the responsibilities. Why wouldn’t gay people want that. As has been pointed out before, married people are not living up to their responsibilities with regard to marriage, why should gay people be held to the same standard?

We need to reform marriage in this country especially with regard to “no fault” divorce.

And quotations from a man who says that violence against homosexuals should not at all be surprising these days are not an appeal to legitimate authority, as far as I am concerned….

You have decided not to respond to my challenge as laid out in my post–play around with it all you want….

For someone who teaches literature and composition, you didn’t comprehend my post. I specifically mentioned 7 year old children. High schoolers are not 7 years old.

does it make you feel good when your students agree with you?

I can assure you that modern youth–particularly intelligent, well-read youth–are overwhelmingly opposed to the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the position and rights of “gay” people in the modern world. In fact, that is even true of the majority of students in a Catholic school where I recently taught and which is generally academically inferior, compared to the European international school where I’ll be next year.
